CROOKED CONTEST MANAGER
NOW UNDER INDICTMENT
Virginia Citizens Offers Reward for
Whereabouts Of l.. II. Tucker, Who ,
Was In YazOo a While.

A little more than year ago. The
Sentinel put on an automobile contest
upon what appeared to be good en-
dorsements, a contract was made With
one l.. II. Tucker, to conduct the con-
test. He had not been in Yazoo City
very long before the Sentinel manage
ment discovered that he was crooked,
and failing to live up TO his contract,
he was fired"
He left for his home in Massillon,
o., and proceeded TO write scurriouls
and lying letters to the contestants,
in the hope Of poisoning their minds,
endeavoring in these letters to show
that the contest was not to be conduct
cd fairly. But the Sentinel editor had
lived too long in this community for
these letters TO have any effect on the
contestants, and the contest was con-
cluded and closed to the satisfaction
of everyone concerned.
1t will be interesting not only to
the contestants, but to the Friend"
Of Tucker in Yazoo City, who kept him
posted as to the progress Of the con-
test. to know that the said Tucker is
badly wanted in Virginia, as judged
from the following advertisement,
which appeared in the American Press:
"PERSONAL-Five Dollars Reward
will be paid for the whereabouts of
l.. II. Tucker, contest manager, from
o., under indictment here
for larceny. j. r. Pearce, Wize, Va"
