Many Remingtonians Stung In Columbia Casualty Co.

Remington Press. A meeting of those interested was held at Dr. E. Besser’s office one day recently to see what could be done as regards to their stock in the Columbia Casualty Co., of Lafayette. There is plenty of evidence that the usual crop of “suckers” in and about Remington was above the normal, and there are some cages where it is extremely sad. The majority of those who lost, however, are able to stand it, and little sympathy is wasted on them for biting on another man’s game, but for those who have invested their all in this wild-cat proposition, it is extremely unfortunate, to say the least. There are no words of criticism severe enough for the man who will go among his friends, those who trust him and believe in him and filch the very cash from their pockets on a scheme he knows to be fraudulent and beside such a man the person who breaks into your home and steals is a prince. The state penitentiary yawns for such as he.
