Bribery charge shocks Fairbury as Schluckebier faces case
Jefferson County rationing board chair L W Schluckebier, 49, denied bribery and extortion accusations after a U S district attorney filed charges in Lincoln. The complaint alleges he took $40 monthly from Evelyn McDowell, a clerk, though Schluckebier says she repaid money borrowed from his loan firm. Schluckebier traveled to Lincoln for a voluntary federal court appearance while supporters back him at local clubs and civic boards.
