Scudder Skidooed With Buick; Dr. Foxworthy Holds the Sack.

Republican readers will remember Ward R. Scudder, the president of the Hamilton Life Insurance Co., who came to Rensselaer- a year or more ago and proposed to establish his headquarters here if the people would subscribe for some stock in his company. They will also remember that Scudder did not come here, but that several Investors were slimmed and ( that finally Scudder’s company was put out of business by the auditor of state. It will also be remembered that Scudder put his automobile in hock, borrowing $250 on it from E. L. Hollingsworth. Several weeks ago he appeared in Rensselaer with a Dr. Foxworthy, of Indianapalis, and the doctor bought the machine and straightened up for the storage and the loan. The car was taken to Indianapolis and Dr. Foxworthy left it in front of his office one day, and Scudder came along with his wife and drove off with it and neither Scudder nor the car have been seen by Dr. Foxworthy since that time. Foxworthy has offered a reward for the return of the car and also for the arrest of Scudder, who after taking the car, dropped a note to the owner and told him he had taken it because he had sold It too cheap and when he found a buyer who would pay what it was worth he would pay Foxworthy what he had in it. Scudder seems to be somewhat of* a crook and Rensselaer is fortunate that he did not bring discredit to the town by locating his insurance company here.
