earlier when he was struck by ont
of his own trucks. driven by his
nephew. Henry Enderstein
Becker and his brother. Julius
came TO this region in 1876 whei
It was an Indian stronghold an6

Becker was accredited as one OF
the few-and perhaps the only mai
who struck Ike Clanton. notorious
bad man of Tombstone, Ariz.. ana
,Iyed to tell about It.
Clanton had fled from Tomb
stone for the comparative safety OF
the Sprlngerville area after Wyatt
carp and his cohorts routed the
Glanton faction during the historic
fight at the O. K. Corral in Tomb
stone.
Clanton. the story goes. walked
into Becker'S store and began teas
ing a small child. Becker objected,
but Clanton failed to pay heed.
Whereupon Becker. although much
smaller in stature than Clantor.
swung a terrific blow at the OUTLAW
and knocked him unconscious The
dlminutive Becker than grabbed
Clanton by the heels and dragged
him out to the street.
When Clanton regained conscious
ness. he rubbed his jaw gineerly
thought about it tor a while anc
smiled. He decided it was gooc
