ECHO OF OGLE EPISODE.
Two Of the Creditors Bring Action
to Recover.


Lizzie II. Phelps, one of the creditors
of John b. Ogle has started an action
against the National Bank of Commerce,
the papers in which were served late
yesterday afternoon. The complaint
says that the plaintiff was and is the
sole and absolute wner of a certain
promissory note given bynW. J.. Brad
shaw and Anna NJ. Bradshaw on June
9Th, 1908, wherein the said Bradshaws
agreed to pay Nellie G. Gilbert or order
$500 with interest at eight per cent per
annum on the Sth day of June, 1906.
Also of two interest coupon notes there
to attached, for $64 each, to be paid
June 8th, 1908. and June Sth, 1906, with
interest on each of said interest coupon
notes at eight per cent after maturity.
Also of certain mortgage given by
the Bradshaws on lot six, block five,
Van Brunt's first addition to 'Mankato,
to secure the notes. Also of a similar
promissory note for 5000, dated April
22d, due in one year, and secured by
mortgage for 5000 on the same proper
ty. That the two notes and mortgages
are of the value of $l,0S0.
The complaint further alleges that on
or about the 18th day of October, 1904,
the National Bank of Commerce wrong
fully and unlawfully and without au-
thority took possession of all of said
personal property, and ever since has
had and now has the possession there
of. That on or about the 23rd day of
May, 1905, the plaintiff in writing duly
demanded of the defendant each and ev
cry item of the personal property de-
scribed. but that the defendant refused
and still refuses to deliver the same,
but on the contrary has converted them
to its own use and benefit.
Wherefore the plaintiff asks that the
court order the defendant to hand over
the said notes and mortgages or else
that the plaintiff be given judgment
against the defendant for 81 $50.
III. l.. and j. w. Schmitt are the at
torneys for the plaintiff.
Mrs. Elizabeth S. Hair has started an
exactly similar suit against the First
National bank to recover possession of
a note and mortgage for $1,000, and in
terest, or their equivalent in money.
Similar allegations are made. j. A..
Flittie and H. L. & j. w. Sehmitt are
the attorneys for the plaintiff.
