Pleasant Valley man leaves country amid heavy debts
Mr C Atchison of Pleasant Valley fled to parts unknown after facing liabilities in Elizabeth township and Daviess county. He shipped stock to Chicago with about six hundred dollars sent home, leaving many local creditors unpaid. He had borrowed repeatedly from Lena merchants and farmers, carrying debts up to about 830,000 including a $17,000 secured mortgage. His friends say he engaged in stock dealing for years, borrowing amounts and paying high interest, with no clear public record of his whereabouts or plans.
