The obert Case.

Sheriff Powers is now thoroughly con-
WINGED that Alphonse Obert met his death
at the hands of Walter Davis the young
negro who was his companion on the
hunting expedition last week. which re-
suited In Obert's death.
The body was found in close patch in
worn-out field, northwest of the city,
and why it was not discovered earlier
is a surprise. Only a few hours before
the ind, Sheriff Powers with the negro
boy passed within ten feet of the spot,
persisting IN his former statement that
he knew nothing of the whereabouts of
his companion. After the finding of the
body, however, Davis made a statement
that Obert had found an opossum in a
hollow, and in punching at it the gun
was fired, one hand being almost torn of

Then 1t was he told where he had con-
cealed his comrades gun, which was

Advertiser Bureau,
{

Now that the nominees for members ,
of the General Council have been chosen
their election being assured, the question
Of chairman Of that body Ia naturally
the speculation. The Advertiser cores
pondent is in position to announce tnat
when the new council is organized Hon.
p I. LYONS will be named as its presid-
ing oficer. Captain Lyons Is now COM
pleting hts ninth year as councilman ana
with his accession for the fourth con-
secutive term, he becames not only chair
man of the general council but mayor
protein, the Craftsmanship carrying that
office. Captain Lyons was at one time
spoken of for the mayoralty for the in
coming term, but he decided to not stand
for the office. Captain Lyons is one OF
Mobiles leading business men being in
terested In many manufacturing enter
prises as well as being a wholesale
grocer. He is a sterling Democrat and
progressive citizen.
The primary for nomination Of NUM-
cipal officers, having passed people In
the business world Of Mobile are pre-
pairing to settle down to other matters.
This does not signify. however. that poll
teal discussions are at an end. Rumors
slip out ever and anon as to this or
that feature and the latest Is that the
day next, at the county court house to
ratify the returns and declare the nomi-
nees, will be called upon for recount
of the vote cast at the several polling
places The Advertisers correspondent
was informed by member of the Exec
utive Committee that this was on tapis
| and the call would be made. 1t is hardly
| probable, however, that 1t will be grant,
| ed.
Speculation is rife as to who will be
the chief of police This figured in the
primary and many claimed that 1t had
something to do with the results. Some
| predict that Ed Roudean, at present lieu
tenant of police and one Of the Oldest
men of the department. will be named.
Mr.. Mclean has not made any declara-
| ton and says through a local paper that
| he will not make any announcement
| until he becomes the mayor. There has
been considerable moving around among
the present appointive ofice-holders, and
councilmen and aldermen-elect, so to
| speak, will find themselves much admired
| for some time to come.
In the hurry of compiling the table OF
| results, in order that The Advertiser
might present same to its readers one
error crept in as to the vote for r. B.
Owen. Jr.. for City Clerk. at Box No. 2
Eighth Ward. Instead of receiving Is;
votes as was made to appear, he received
