to C. Becker, q wealthy miller near st.
Louis. Ia one Of the largest single at
torney fees ever paid in the state.
where the client was satisfied that 1t
was reasonable.
But 1t was a big case. 1t involved
the settlement Of differences amount
ing to $4,000 between c. Becker of
st. Louis and C. HI. Widener Of Los
Angeles.
3 The cases required a considerable
amount of travelling. Mr.. Barnes, OF the
firm, made trips from Cedar Rapids to
Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles to
st. louis, to Rock Island, and to other
points.
C. Becker is a wealthy miller living
near st. Louis and having a big mill.
He was induced to invest his mill and
considerable money and wheat In a
section Of land near Rock Island. ILL
nois, represented to him to be first
class in every way and worth top
price as Illinois lands so.
After making the trade Mr.. Backer
took trip to Europe. He was absent
nearly two years. When he returned
and began to investigate his new prop
erty he found that the land was not
nearly what 1t was represented to be.
Instead Of being first class farm land
1t happened to be of peculiar nature
that made it appear to be valuable but
which would not produce the crops the
surrounding land would.
Mr.. Becker considered he had been
swindled and he, accordingly, decided
to attempt to recover the approx
mately SIP 900 he had been induced to
put into the deal, over and above what
the land was worth.
