RAscALLY BANKER.
KANSAS CrTr, April 20.---Later Developments
regarding the absconding of c. G. Nelson,
president of the Neosha County bank, at Usage
Mission, Kas., 60 to prove that he wasIa scamp
of the first water. From the best information
obtained it is stated Ee once resided In SYRIA.
cuse, N. T.; was engaged there as street
broker, and left that city with damaged char.
acter. Previous to his residence there it is un.
derstood he resided at some point in Canada.
He was for long time engaged as managing
editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel. From
that city he went to Arkansas, then to Texas,
where he opened q bank at Dallas. After
spending short time at Dallas he located in
Fort Scott, and about March 1 removed his
bank from Fort Scott to Usage Mission. The
carpet sack Nelson had with him is supposed
to contain between $4,000 and. 10000.
The causes which led to Nelson's sudden
fight just now are various. It is believed by
many that he had been preparing for this for
some time. Many stories are afoat. among
them one or two will aid the reader to obtain
some idea of his character. Some years ago
q lady of Boston placed in his hands claims
amounting to several thousand dollars. He
collected the claims, and, absconding to Texas,
assumed the name of G. c. Nelson and other
aliases. With the money he started some sort
of business venture at Dallas, where he
seems to have made money. At Dallas he
made the acquaintance of another lady, not
from Boston, but possessing great deal OF
Texas spunk. She trusted him in many ways,
and fell a victim to the tune of several thou
sand dollars, which he possessed when he
opened out the Bourbon county bank,
in Fort Scott. The Texas lady ar
rived there last week with her attorney
and an officer, and demanded a settlement.
They commenced to attack the bank, when he
secured several prominent business men to 60
on his bond, claiming it was case Of black
mail, and would be squelched in short time.
The bond is for 5000. The bondsmen claim
they are amply secured. Nelson is loud
talking man, boasts good deal of his wealth,
is heavy set, has long, dark whiskers, and
steps very tenderly on account of rheumatic
tendencies. One of his upper teeth is filled
with gold. Once seen he will always be re.
membered. The officers of Fort Scott as well
as of Neosha and Kansas City are after him.
There is considerable excitement at Usage
Mission regarding the affair, and should he be
has ruined large number Of worthy citizens
at Usage Mission.
