Special to Daily Leader.
Mangum. okla, Feb. 7.--Backed by
the action of two of the members Of
the board of county commissioners OF
Greer county. and supplied with funds
raised at recent mass meeting of the
citizens Of the county. Charles r.
Eagin. a well known local attorney,
has gone to Guthrie to apply to the
supreme court for an injunction,
against the Submission to the people
of the country boundaries provisions
of the constitution as prepared by the
constitutional convention, ON the
grounds that the act creating the con
stitutional body. did not delegate to
them the power to divide the state
into counties.
Mr.. Eagin made a trip to Guthrie
and searched through the territorial
library at that place for decisions af-
fecting the matter. He then returned
TO Greer county. A special meeting
of the county commissioners was
called last week by Floyd McNeill, for
the purpose of taking action in the
matter In this meeting one OF the
board, f. M Aycock. refused to take
part. II is said that the other two
authorized Mr.. Eassn-
and his colleagues TO Immediately ask
for the Injunction. affecting only that
portion Of the constitution referring
to county boundaries.
