town on a charge Of having obtained money
under false pretenses The sheriff of
Marshall county arrived this morning with
a warrant for fuckers arrest The COM
planning witness against Tucker declares
that he obtained $3.50 from him by false
representations. 1t seems from the state

ker represented to them that they were
suffering from a disease. The doctor de-
clared he could cure the disease for S125.
This was agreed to and before the COM
plainant had been cured his wife also took
SIPS worth of medicine. They declared that

ties of medicine. The authorities have been
looking for Tucker on this charge for some
time They have made repeated efforts to
get him in this city, but have failed each
time.
