Remington Man Reported to Be “In Bad."

It is reported that George Hargreaves of Remington, who travels for McNeil & Higgins, had left for parts unknown, leaving ih-is creditors and firm in the hole for quite a sum of money.—Brook Reporter. It is common report that Mr. Hargreaves has collected considerable money from customers and has failed to turn same over to his employers. It is said tfhat the amount reaches about SBOO at Remington alone, and that there are also several other places that he has made collections and failed to turn In the money. Rumor also has it that poker playing and other forms of gambling is responsible for the alleged embezzlement. Friends of Mr. Hargreaves and his excellent family will be very sorry to learn of his reported downfall and hope that he may be able to straighten the matter out. A Lafayette paper gives Hargreaves’ peculations at $6,000, and •‘'ays it is thought he has committed suicide some place after destroying all evidence of this identity.
