HE'S A STRANGE FATHER
Henry Ogee, Who Has Son Arrested,
Shocks Officers.

Ora Ogee, the youth charged with
forging a check upon his father, who
swore to the complaint, was returned
to Topeka today by Deputy Sheriff
the deputy arrested him on a ranch
eight miles from the town.
The father, Henry Ogee, a deputy
game warden, who lives on West Cor
don street in North Topeka, was at
the court house to meet his son upon
his arrival. His greeting, however,
was not like that proverbial one to
the prodigal son. Rather, he seemed
only bent upon learning how much of
the $25 remained unspent.
Upon checking out the boys cash
the amount was found to be but $3.50.
He also had a cheap watch and two
fobs, which he explained he had pur-
chased. These articles and the money
the father transferred to his own
pockets and there ended his concern.
The erring lad was then conducted
to the court of Topeka, where he was
arraigned before Judge Simon, but he
simplified matters greatly by waving
preliminary hearing and was bound
over for trial in the district court at
the next term.
The boy of 10 years of age stands
six feet one inch tall. He stood de-
jectedly before the judge and seemed
was shabby dressed, his further dis
pensation of the money having been
for a cowboy hat, pair of vicl shoes
and transportation to the ranch of
some friends. His bond was fixed at
81, 900, which he has not the ghost of
show of furnishing.
The conduct of the father in the
case is decried by officers as "unnat-
ural-' This opinion is further based
upon the fact that the father Henry
Ogee, had the boy sent to the reform
school because he would not mind him
The boys record began at the school
in 1906, according to the supeIintend-
ent. who stated that the lad had com
mitted no crime, but was taken as an
incorrigble. He was paroled in 1907
asked him: "What does your father
do?" To which his reply was: 81

Il give you will left by a young
man in New York: I leave to society
a ruined character; leave to my faith

soweth that will he reap"
These were some of the startling
things which the speaker gave his hear
