Travelling Man Arrested

D. A. Trigg, white man, who trav- eled the Selma territory for about two years and who was later employed by Eliasberg Brothers of this city, was ar rested Sunday afternoon on a warrant charging him with bringing stolen prop erty into the city Trigg was irrespon- sible when arrested, and as he was un- able to make bond spent Sunday night in the city prison, and will no doubt spend tonight there, as his case was con tipued Tuesday morning. Mabel Dean, a white woman, was also arrested Sun day night on a warrant charging her with the same offense as had been charged against Trigg. The case against the woman was continued until the ses- sion of court Tuesday morning.
 E. A. Trigg was at one time 8 popular travelling man out of this city and had a large number of friends. It is alleged that between $500 and $500 disappeared from MT. Finlayson's place of business few days ago, being taken by MT. Trigg, who came to Selma yesterday. The police department was notified and requested to arrest Trigg. As the rob bery was committed in Perry county, Trlgg could only be held by the local authorities for bringing stolen property into the city. The money which it is alleged Trigg brought to Selma has mys- teriously disappeared, and in this con nection Chief of Police Walters becomes mixed in the case. MT. Trigg, 1t is said, claims that he gave the money to MT. Walters, but that official denies the charge, and so the case rests until to- morrow morning, as MT. Finlayson was not present this morning when it was called.

SHOOT AT DR. CHISHOLM

Selma, December 19.-(Special.) .)-Con- gressman William B. Craig this afternoon at 1 o'clock received a telegram from E. Dana Durand, director of census, and in which he stated that the population of Selma according to the recent census was 13,659.
 There is little doubt but that these fig ures will prove a disappointment to a great number of Selmians, for it had been confidently expected that the fig ures would go as high as 15,0Oo. But while they will prove disappointing it Is not expected that any protest will be made on the part of the city. The cen sus figures, which were given out today, shows that the population of Selma has decreased to a large extent during the past two or three years. But with the return of good conditions Selma has al- ready began to recover from the depres- sion caused by the recent panic and the population is steadily increasing.
 A few years ago, to determine whether the saloons of the city could keep open until o'clock each night, under law passed by the legislature, the city au- thorities had a census taken. After the census was taken and the figures com piled the population was found to be in the neighborhood of 17,o0o.
 During the past spring the school cen- sus of the city was also taken and the figures of that census showed a popula- tion of about 14,OOO. But with the school census showing Selma with a population of about 14,oO0 there can be little doubt but that the figures compiled by the government is about as near correct as possible.

CLASH EXPECTED
 WITH BAD NEGROES

Luverne, December 19.-Three of the Saiter negroes have been landed in the jail, together with Titus Folmar, a ne- gro who was supposed to be in the crowd who shot and wounded four white farmers near here Saturday. One of the Salter negroes was taken from the mob of citizens today and brought to the county jail.
 The burning of the negroes home is condemned by the good citizens who live in the neighborhood of the tragedy. The deputies of the sheriff put out the burning house when it was first set on fire but before they were out of sight the house was again set on fire and was burned to the ground.
 There is bad feeling here between the whites and the negroes and fur ther trouble is expected at any mo- ment.
