MISSOURI BANKER /
FACES DISASTER
Meteoric Financial Career Ends With
Charges Of Forgery.
WAS A PROMINENT CHURcHMAN
John Ogden, Of psepwatsr. Arrested
stockholders Claim Shortage
Expose Of Personal Affairs
AstonIshes Everyone.

Clinton, Mo-, Nov 30.--A meteoriC
financial career In the quiet little vii
lage OF Deepwater, 1s miles from here
has exploded with overwhelming sud
denness when John Ogden, banker
and a leading citizen, was arrested
charged with forgery. He has debts
which are said to exceed $4,000.
Ogden came to Henry county eight
years ago from north Missouri and i'm
mediately began an aggressive real es-
tate and loan business. His career
was a series OF successes. Enemies at
tackled his past record, but those who
doubted hesitated to affront Ogden, an
active church worker and a power In
financial and political affairs.
Success, Then Jail.
Before the jail doors opened for
Ogden, his fortune was estimated at
SIS, 900 Two years ago he organized
the Farmers Bank of Deepwater. with
a capital stock of 10000 Ogden held
% shares OF the stock and was made
president Of the bank. Stockholders
now say there is shortage.
It was Tuesday when Ogden re-
turned from Kansas City that the first
change was noticed in him. Ogden,
who had always spent his time visiting
friends when in Clinton, was seen to
enter saloon doors. Never before had
he been known to drink.
A Changed Man.
Those who knew him marvelled and
everyone is still marvelling. The ex-
pose Of his personal affairs Is astound-
ing in its revelations. The bank,
say, is not involved to ex-
ceed the extent Of $1,000 overdraft
on his personal account. A Kansas
City bank, 1t is believed, has lent SILL
600, two commission houses. $4,000,
and at least $40, 900, it is claimed, has
been advanced him by his Clinton
friends.
Trouble came when Ogden did not
appear at his place Of business as
usual. The bank officials decided to
his AFFAIRS. w. p. Brad
ley, business associate, was called in
and found a note made payable to
Ogden purporting to be signed by him
self, which signature he declared to be
a forgery. Then other discrepancies
followed In rapid succession. Bradley
hurried to Clint6h. and H. A. Pogue.
county attorney, issued complaint
charging Ogden with forgery.
Mr.. Pogue stated he expected to DO
to issue further complaints
against Ogden.

MARINE MISCELLANY.
Boothbay Harbor, Me, Nov Z. The two
masted schooner William Rice of Thomaston,
containing 10 tons of cement, missrayed and
grounded today just outside the harbor and
will be a total loss. The crew of three
reached shore safely.
Boston, Nov 8. Two of the fleet of Down
East schooners which ply regularly to this
port met with disaster yesterday while trying
to make ports on the South Shore. The
schooner Kennedy. Capt Mitchell, from
Calais, ran aground on the edge of the chan
mel at bingham, and was hung up there for
several hours before she was pulled off and
taken to her berth. Schooner A Kindberg,
from Bangor, stranded in Scituate Harbor, and
it was reported yesterday that she was full of
water.
Vineyard Haven, Mass, Nov 9. With her
seams strained so badly that it was necessary
to keep the pumps working constantly to pre-
vent sinking. the four masted schooner George
Walcott of Portland, was Saturday towed
into the harbor here by tug. The Walcott
encountered violent southeast gales off Block
Island Thursday. She lost both of her small
boats and when picked up by the tug her
cabins were filled with water and cabin part-
tions broken down. The Walcott was bound
from New ort News for Bangor with cargo
of coal. Temporary repairs will be made here
and she will proceed to her destination under
sail.
Milbridge, Me-, Nov g. The three masted
schooner R. B. White was launched at 10
o'clock this morning from the yard of Sawyer
Bros. She was christened with bottle of wine
by Miss Martina Sawyer and showers of flow
ers from her bunting, which was broken
tons net is 1872 feet keel, 80 feet beam
and 10 feet deep. She has a flush deck and

She is owned principally in Baltimore, which
will be her hailihg port, and c. c. Paules
Company of Baltimore are her managing own
ers. She is nearly ready for sea, and will take
her first charter from Stockton.
Boston, Nov 8. The two-masted Bangor
schooner Serena Kendall is long overdue on
a passage from Port Reading for Boothbay
Harbor, and it is feared she has been lost with
her crew of four men. Some time ago the
Kendall was placed on the list of missing YES
sells and 1t now seems certain that she must
have foundered in the gale OF Oct. LIST. The
Kendall was last reported leaving Vineyard
Haven Sept 30tF, and it was the night after
sailing from that port that terrific northerly
gale swept the entire eastern seaboard. The
Kendall was loaded with coal and it is feared
that her heavy cargo dragged her to the bot
tom after she sprang aleak in the tempest
