Selma, January 10.-(SpeciaI )-Last night the store in which occurred the tragedy Sunday resulting in the death of H. Beiman. was entered for the first time since the dying man was taken out and carried to the sanitarium. Those who visited the store were Judge Daniel Partridge, attorney for Mrs. Beiman; Col. W W. Quarles, attorney for w. $. Lawrence, in whose hands was the pis- tol when the fatal shot was fired; City Attorney w R. Shafer, J. L. Bishop. Chief of Police Walters, Officer White and s. Eagle
 Two pistols were found on a cotton sample table. both being practically new The box in which one of them came was found in an open drawer with blood stains upon it. There was no load in either pistol This is accounted for by the fact that when the physicians reached the side of the wounded man they noticed the pistol on the high, slantng top desk, and fearing they might be knocked off, told MT. Lawrence to unload and place them in a safe posi- tion, which he did. Blood stains were found on the top of the high desk and in a circle on the floor of the small off, flee in which the shooting occurred The pistols, box cartridges, etc., were care fully wrapped up and given into the custody of the Chief of Police to have them at the preliminary trial on Friday morning.
 MT. S. Eagle. who with Hon. W. B. Craig was appointed special administra- tor of the estate of H. Beiman, this morning withdrew his application and the court appointed Judge Daniel Par fridge to the position, the latter being Mrs. Beimans attorney. Mr. Eagle states that his application was purely for the purpose of keeping the store intact until the environments of the tragedy could be seen by officers of the law.

 Campaign About to Open.
 On the first Monday in May next the municipality of Selma elects new officers. The first ball of the contest was fired yesterday followed in quick order today when William J. Smoke made the public announcement of his candidacy for san itary inspector and J. M Rhodes for the same office There will hardly be oppo- sition to Mayor V. B. Atkins for Mayor, as he has served but one term and has made a model officer. Neither Is there expected to be opposition to Chief Of Police Walters nor Captain of Police Mil Ter. For the office of city clerk there will be quite a contest. as the incumbent H H. Stewart, will not ask for re-elec- ticn There will probably be opposition for tax collector and the other offices. The primaries will be held in March in all probability.
