FIRST GUN OF ANTS
OPPONENTS OF CONSTITUTION
 TO HAVE MEETING.
will Make Fight to Carry Jefferson County and Both Sides Are Confident-News of
 Birmingham.

Birmingham, Oct 5.-(Special )-The op- pcnents to the ratification of the new constitution will fire the first gun of their campaign in this county on Monday even- ing next. On that occasion former Con- gressman Jess F. Stallings and Colonel w H. Denson will speak at Sealss Hall in this city in opposition to the new constitution.
 of the standardization State Campaign Committee said today: 'I am absolutely confident that we will carry Jefferson County. The reports that I receive are all that way. We will also make it d close fight in Morgan County. l do not say that We will carry Morgan but We stand an equal chance in that county"
 These opinions of General Shelley are diametrically opposed by the ratification leaders. Chairman Henry B. Gray in charge of ratification in this county is absolutely confident that Jefferson will give a large majority for ratification. It is also the opinion of unbiased observers that this county will go for ratification. In fact the anti-ratifcationists have not as yet perfected any local organization nor made any organized attempt in that direction. Their first and only step so far outside of establishing their State headquarters here has been the announce m mt of the speaking at Seals's Hall on Monday night.
 The county Democratic Campaign Com n!ttee in favor of ratification will met at h' Idquarters on Tuesday and complete th5ir plans for thorough campaign in this county.

INDIAN LAND LITIGATION.
Several Briefs Filed With Interior
 Department.

Washington. Oct. 5.-Several briefs were filed at the Interior Department today in the case of the Cherokee oil and Gas Company, which is cOntending for leases of lands belonging to the Cherokee In- dian nation in Indian Territory for the purpose of mining oil and gas. The case will have a hearing Monday. The com pany claims an act of the Cherokee National Council authorizing Cherokee citizens to sub-lst their mining licenses to non-citizens as authority for granting a renewal of their leases. but the briefs of the other side, representing the Chero- kee Nation and certain individual Chero- kee Indians contend that that act was repealed and further that the Council had no authority to pass such an act. They claim that the granting of the leases would violate treaties, acts of Congress and of the Cherokee nation.
 A brief of the Delaware Indians pro- testing against the granting of the leases says that neither the Cherokees ner the

FROZE TO DEATH.
Stiffened Corpse of Thomas COnnOrs,
of Currie, Found by Searcbers

Stiffened Corpse of Thomas COnnors,
of CurFie, Found by Searchers.
FULDA, Mimi, Jan PIN this county,
near Currie, Thomas Connors was found
dead on Sunday afternoon last. He went
to =Currie on the 18th inst. from home,
having walked into town, a distance of
about seven miles, and as his family
supposed that he was visiting some
friends in the vicinity of Currie, they did
not expect anything was wrong until
Saturday, the 18th inst, when a search
was instituted, and the body was found
frozen stiff on the following day, and
had neither cap, shoes or overcoat on,
those articles of clothing having all been
found at different places and at some dis
tance from the body. From those facts
and other circumstances there can be no
doubt but he wandered around a great
deal over the fields and meadows, and,
as a result of the same, when he began
to get cold and discovered that he had
lost his way, his mind became disar-
ranged so that he so removed his gar
ments and clothing and froze to death
within so short q distance of town. The
last time he was seen in town was the
night of the 18th inst, when he started
for home on foot in the dark and during
a severe northwest wind that was bitter
and cold. No one ever saw him alive
after he so left town. The coroner view
ed the body on Sunday night, and decid-
ed that an inquest was unnecessary The
deceased was about sixty years of age
and leaves a widow and quite a large
family, most of them are grown up. He
was one of the old citizens of the county,
being among the earliest settlers.
On Sunday morning of this week Anton
Steiner was found dead in bed at his
home within about five miles of here
Heart disease being the cause. The de-
ceased was apparently in good health on
Saturday night, and went to bed feel
ing well as usual. He was about sixty
eight years of age and good citizen. He
leaves a widow and a family of grown
children.
