 of CuIlman.

Cullman, January 12-(SpeciaD Jack Jackson, the negro who was wounded in riot at Stouts Mountain last Christmas eve at a Christmas tree, died at St. Vim cents hospital in Birmingham Wednes- day. John Jett, white man is in jail here charged with assault with intent to murder Jackson and now that Jack son Is dead, Jett will be held on the charge of murder. The riot was caused by some white men shooting into a church where the negroes were holding Christmas tree.

The affair created great excitement at Stouts Mountain at the time. Jett is well connected, but has failed to secure bond on the charge of assault with intent to murder and is in jail awaiting trial.

 montgomery asked what was the bus mess before the house.
 The president replied:
 We are disorganized at this time. and we think 1t best to have a roll call so that we can determine who is entitled to vote"
 Has there been no report of the com mittee on credentials?" asked MT Mont- gomery. Have we been disorganized all this time?'
 President Hagenbarth replied at some length declaring in effect that there were people on the floor who had no right to vote; that the convention was en- tirely disorganized and it was desirable to have a roll call
 The roll was finally called after con- siderable delay and then, after much de- bate, committees of cattlemen and sheep growers were appointed to consider the plan of reorganization and report to their respective bodies concerning desirable ac- tion on the report of the general com mittee, which is to report at 9:30 in the morning.

TOM SHELTON KILLS
 WOMAN OF THE TOWN
ORA DUNN WANToNEY SHOT DOWN IN HOUSE ON TWENTY THIRD sTREET-SHELToN ES- cAPES-PoLlcE ON TRACK.

Ora Dunn a woman of the town, was shot and killed at 11:45 o'clock last night by a man. supposed to be Tom Shelton. in a house occupied exclusively by wo- mea, on Twenty-third street near Second avenue.
 According to statements made by per- sons who were in the house at the time, Shelton, accompanied by another man whose name is known to the police, was admitted to the house at 11:40 o'clock and was shown into a rear room on the first floor. There they were soon joined by two women. Shelton was smoking a pipe His companion, while dancing with one of the women, bumped into Shelton and knocked the pipe out of his hand. Shelton. 1t Is allegd, picking up his pipe with one hand and drawing a revolver with the other. fired a shot through the heart of the Dunn woman, who was standing silent nearby.
 The woman screamed, threw up her hands, ran into the hall, fell upon the floor and died almost instantly.
 Shelton and his companion came out of the room and started up the hall for the front door or the house. In leaV- ing they had to step over the Dunn wo- mans dead body. Other women of the house who had rushed up to the dead woman's side caught Shelton by the arm and attempted to detain him and wrest his pistol from him. But with an oath, 1t is said, he threw them aside and gained the door. Once outside Shelton went south to First alley and ran up the alley. His companion walked north up Twenty-third street.
 The womans body was taken to Lige Loy's undertaking establishment. The coroner will investigate the case today.
 horse and wagon said to belong to Shelton were hitched near Twenty-third street and Second avenue. A saloonkeeper said it belonged to Shelton. Policemen kept watch on the wagon all night but Shelton did not return.
 It is reported by the police that Shel- tor lives on a farm about nineteen miles north of Birmingham. and that he is making for his home. The police expect to arrest him within tAe next few hours
 All reports of the tragedy agree that Shelton's companion was not a friend of Shelton's but merely person who hap pened to enter the house at the same time Shelton did and that he had no part in the affair. Except as witness he will not be wanted by the police.
