got sin dutch during the war because
OF ill-advised statements, is coming
back strong. Now he brings action
against the county for $3,333.33 for
salary due him as county judge and
head of the Juvenile court. Becker,
unblushingly asks pay for the period
from the time Gov Phillip evicted
him from office until his term expired.
Becker was found guilty of the charge
against him in August 1918, and sent
enced to serve three years in the fed
eral prison at FIT. LeavenwOrth The
subsequent dismissal of the case upon
a writ of error following its appeal
by the defendant, is given as basis

Becker filed claim for the amount al
legged to be due him at the fall session
of the county board and that the claim
was disallOwed in toto.
