Names Officer in Damage Suit
Claiming that he sustained permanent
injuries as the result of being struck
and kicked at the police station after
false arrest, Fred Strombeck has
started suit against Detective William
H. Bishop in district court for the sum
of S2,999. Kaufman and Willis are
attorneys for the plaintiff. Strombeck
claims in his petition that on the
morning of Aug. 81 he entered the
Lech second hand store at Front and
Brady to dispose of an old Remington
typewriter. Officer Bishop was in the
place and, the plaintiff claims, offered
to buy the machine. Strombeck claims
that Bishop told him to wait until he
returned, and after a few moments he
reentered the place and told him to
come out of the place and bring the
machine with him. He says he saw
the patrol wagon in front, and sus-
pecting tina: he was being arrested,
he protested his innocence, offering to
prove to the officer that the machine
belonged to him. He was taken TO
police headquarters, where he says a
"trusty'' of the name of Clark struck
him, knocked him down and kicked
him. He AYERS that he sustained a
broken ear drum as a result of his pun
ishment He also claims that he was
