Description

Articles (dated March 14–15, 1893) report the Kansas Trust & Banking Company of Atchison suddenly closing its doors and a receiver (Freeland/Freling Tufts) being appointed. The failure is attributed to bad loans made on 'boom' Kansas land and inability to realize on those loans. No contemporaneous articles describe a depositor run prior to suspension; multiple later legal notices (1895) reference the receiver, confirming the institution entered receivership and liquidation rather than resuming normal operations. OCR variations in receiver name (Freeland/Freling/Tufts/Tuft) and some dollar totals vary by report; I corrected obvious OCR variants but did not invent additional facts.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING Doors of the Kansas Trust and Banking House Closed. DEPOSITS TAKEN RIGHT ALONG The Company Owns Thirty Thousand Acres of Land in Kansas and $20,000 Worth of Real Estate-Ex-Senator Ingalls, the President of the Concern a Heavy Loser-Scores of Local Depositors. ATCHISON, Kan., March 14.-The closing of the doors of the Kansas Trust and Banking Company, of this city at 7 o'clock last night has caused a great sensation. An application for the appointment of a receiver was filed in the United States District Court at Topeka by the eastern creditors of the institution. Judge Foster named Freeland Tufts of Kansas City, as receiver and he at once came here and took charge of affairs of the concern. The liabilities of the bank are estimated at $800,000 and the assets, so the officers claim will fall not far short of that amount. The company owns 30,000 acres of land in Kansas and $20,000 worth of real estate in this city. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, the president of the concern, loses about $10,000. R. M. Manley, vice president and general managerloses about $250,000 of his own and property belonging to the estate of his father, George Manley. In the United States Court yesterday Manley confessed judgment for the es. tate of his father to the amount of $78,000. A confession of judgment was also made by him as manager to the company to the amount of $10,000. Every dollar that the Manleys possessed has been lost in the crash. E. G. Armsby, cashier of the company, loses $20,000. The company was organized in 1886, with a capital of $100,000. The principal part, if not all, the capital stock was subscribed by ex-Senator Ingalls, A. R. Manley and the Manley estate, and E. G. Armbys. The statement of the Manley party is that the receivership is in the interests of the holders of the obligations of the company and will result in a liquidation of all claims. The company became slightly embarrassed over two years ago, at the time when the best land companies were compelled to succumb to the general depression and was obliged to borrow largely to meet immediate de mands. The concern loaned considerable money three years ago, on Kansas property, at boom figures and was compelled to fore close in many instances without any chance of realizing as much as had been advanced on the same. The bank was also trustee for large amounts of money that belonged on property in Central and Western Kansas. Eastern creditors who were given first mortgages are amply recured. There are many local depositors who have from $500 to $1,000 on deposit in the bank. It is said that the bank continued to receive deposits up to the hour of closing and there was not the slightest intimation that the crash was to come so soon.

CAUSED A SENSATION. A Trust and Banking Company Insolvent. ATCHISON (Kas.), March 14.-A sensation was created last night when Freling Tufts of Kansas City appeared here and took possession of the Kansas Trust and Banking Company as receiver. The company was organized in 1886 with a capital of $100,000. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls is President of the concern, R. H. Manley Vice-President, E. G. Armsby Cashier. The principal part of the capital was furnished by Manley and his family and Ingalls. The latter had $7,500 invested, Manley $20,000. These amounts are lost. The liabilities are $300,000. The assets, it is believed, if prudently managed will pay in full. The bank has 30.000 acres of land and large tracts and lots in the principal towns and cities of the State. The residents of Atchison have $125,000 invested in the concern, secured by debenture bonds of a conjectural value. It is believed the decision of Armsby to withdraw hastened the crash. Manley is practically bankrupt. The application for a receiver was made by L. F. Baird of Kansas City in the United States Court at Topeka. R. M. Manley presented confessed judgment for $88,000, including $78,000 to the estate of George Manley for advances on which he became personally responsible. No other concern is involved in the crash. It is believed nobody except the stockholders will lose anything. The trouble was partly duet to the embarrassment two years ago, when many loan companies went to the wall, and this one was saved by borrowing heavily. There is no money on deposit, as the company did not do a general banking business. ExSenator John J. Ingalls declined to discuss the bank failure beyond saying he got his money out before the crash came and lost nothing.

The liabilities of the concern are estimated at $8 0,000 and the assets will probably reach $790,000. The comi any owns 30,000 acres of land in Kansas and about $20,000 worth of property in this city. R.M. Manley, general manager, loses $250.000. Freland Teft of Kansas City was appointed receiver by Judge Foster in the United States court at Topeka. R. M. Manley said that there was a strong hope that the company would be reorganized, and he believed that every person interested would be paid in full. He said that unless a reorganization could be effected he would be left flat on his back financially, The crash was produced by the depression of three years ago. The company then took on too heavy a load, but managed to carry it till the present time. The company quit doing a general banking business over a year ago and no money was therefore on deposit. Those who had placed money with the company for investment were of the more prosperous classes, and they have as yet made no clamor. John J. Ingalls has nothing to say about the failure, but said that he got all his money out before the crash came. About fifty Atchison people were caught in the wreck to the extent of $125,000. They are secured by debenture bonds. the value of which is a matter of conjecture.
