THE NEWS OF SELMA
Advertiser Bureau,

TWO deputy sheriffs from Thomas ton. in Marengo County, came to Selma this morning to take look at the two negroes. Walter Henderson and Junius Jones. who were arrested by the po- lice authorities Friday on warrant charging thep with being suspicious characters. The deputies from Ma rsnqo wanted to see if either one of the negroes is Booker Glass, who on Thursday morning. near Thomaston' shot and seriously wounded J. E. All len, a young white man, who IS over seer on the plantation Of Fred Hoiils.
 In the difficulty between Mir. Allen and the negro 1t is thought that Glass received two wounds in the @tomach from the pistol in Aliens hands, but after he had shot Allen he made his escape and although the authorities of Marengo County have been on his trail ever since then they have not succeeu- ed in capturing him.
 Through The Advertiser they learned of the arrest of the two negroes here Friday. When arrested Henderson was found lying on the porch or negro house in Shivers' Alley, suffering from A bullet wound in the left shoulder. To make sure that he was the man who had shot Mir Allen the two deputies from Marengo came to Selma this morning and soon after their arrival here they called at police headquar- ters and had a look at the two ne- groes.
 Neither one of the negroes in the city prison proved to be Glass The wound in Henderson's shoulder Is caus- ing him a great deal of pain but he will soon be well and will probably he tried on the charge of being suspi- cious character.
 Council Meeting Tomorrow Night.
 The regular monthly meeting of the City Council will be held tomorrow night. The meeting will be an import ant one and 1t will probably inaugu- rate the much talked of paid fire de- partment The ordinance creating the paid fire department has met with all the requirements of the law to make it effective.
 With the organization of the paid department there will come the elec- lion of a chief who will also act as a building inspector.
 The Chief will very likely be elect cd at the meeting tomorrow night also. There are several candidates for this office which it is understood will have a salary of $100 a month attached The strongest candidates in the race for the office are understood to be Messrs. John c. Norris, George T. Rees and John w Blakeley. Either one of them would make a good and efficient chief and all three have strong supporters among the members of the City Coun- ell.
