Madison, Wis.-The spectacle of a
millionaire being arrested for alleged
violation of the city ordinances in
leasing property for disorderly pur-
poses has called attention to the
unique personality of Frank A. Ogden.
The capital city of Wisconsin cannot
boast many millionaires. 1t is a city
of sturdy. well-to-do people. who point
with pride to Robert M. LaFollette, a
type OF poor man who has remained
poor despite his extraordinary success
in politics.
But Frank A. Ogden is another type.
and it is probable that no city in the
country possesses a citizen who has
such quantity of contradictory hab-
its as Mr.. Ogden. His leading charac-
teristic is his eccentricity. If he were
not worth a million it would attract
but little attention, but in some ways
he emulates the late Russell Sage.
Ogden was one of the men who got
a start in the big Chicago fire of 1871.
II may be said that his prosperity
dates from that tragic episode. With
the natural acumen of the business
man Ogden saw his opportunity and
made the most of 1t. He decided that
he could make a fortune II he made
the proper use of his money, and
scarcely before the embers of the fire
had died down Ogden was negotiating
for leases on all the buildings he could
get hold Of Possessing ready money,
this was an easy task at that time.
He Immediately released the build
ings at greatly advanced figures, and
to this is due his rise in fortune.
Right after the fire property com
menced to soar in value. and money
commenced to flow in a steady stream
into the Ogden Golfers. Well placed
investments increased his income, and
he soon was known as one OF the city's
wealthy men. For years Ogden has
lived a quiet life in Madison, occasion
ally coming into the limelight on ac-
count of his well known parsimonious
habits. He is one of the most abstemi-

Some time ago he said he owned a

one time owned many more in Kansas.
A Madison man who knows him well
says: He has the instinct of buying
right. A man can easily get broke

ogden got a big start by deals in
Kansas. Without seeing the land he
bought a big belt which some COM
