LIBERTY, Ind. Jan. 12.-Robert Camp
bell. Of the firm of Campbell x Thompson,
operating the Liberty roller mills and a
heavy stakeholder in the Columbia Drill
Company. which is in financial straits. has
been gone since early last week. His alb
sence was not at first commented upon. as
he is frequently out of the city on business,
but the furry in financial circles and the
fact that he and his father were financially
involved is taken as evidence that his con-
tinued absence is intentional. 1t is now
alleged on good authority tina he is an alb
sconder and forger. Before leaving he pur-
chased. nominally, the interest of a. r.
Thompson in the mill business, m~ortgaging
everything possible. drawing out all ready
money at the bank, borrowing $500 from a
private party on the strength of his
brothers signature. which he is alleged to
ave forged, and also checking out $500 on
a Cincinnati bank in the firms name, but
belonging. according TO settlement, TO A.
X. m
ent of the Columbia Drill Company, against
which so many suits have recently been
filed. Campbell and his father were heavy
stockholders. James Campbell, his brother.
Is one of the wealthy farmers of this sec
ton and living just over the state line
in Preble county, Ohio. The father is
bowed with grief over his sons course.
The financial scandal here is a cause for
apprehension on all sides. TIL Columbia
Drill Company is said to be irretrievably
involved. but the Liberty Manufacturing
Company has prospects of breasting the
storm
Over forty suits are on the docket of the
Union Circuit Court. convened by Judge
Swift to-day. The majority of these are
suits on notes brought by the banks against
the Columbia Drill Company and private
parties. The suicide of the cashier of the
Union County National Bank and the dis
appearance of Robert Campbell as an al
legged forger has caused a furry in finan-
cial circles here which threatens TO grow
to serious proportions.
