SURE OF VOTE IN OKLAHOMA
Declared Injunction Against Fall Elec
tion Won't Hold.
Guthrie, Okla., June 10. —Judge W.
A. Ledbetter, attorney for the Consti
tutional Convention before the Okla
homa Supreme Court, declared that
the decision of Judge John L. Pan
coast granting an injunction prevent
ing the holding of a constitutional elec
tion will not be sustained by the Ter
ritorial Supreme Court.
The opposition will carry the case
to the Federal Supreme Court, but
Ledbetter maintains, in taking the ap
peal, it will not be able, under the
law, to keep the injunction alive, and.
in the meantime, an election will be
called by Governor Frantz and held.
The issuing of a proclamation by
president Murray, of the Constitution
* af* convention, Judge Ledbetter de
clares, would be illegal. Murray, how
ever, says he will issue his election
proclamation to-morrow, so that 60
days will intervone before the election,
on August 6. Murray holds that he is
responsible to the Constitutional Con
vention in that it empowered him to
Issue the proclamation in sufficient
time, in case Governor Frantz did not
act.

AYERS DEFENDS WIFE.
West Point, N. Y., June 10. —Lieuten-
ant Col. Charles G. Ayres came to
the support of his wife, Mrs. Eliza
beth F. Ayres, of Virginia, in her ac
tion for $lOO,OOO damages against the
commanding officers of the Military
Academy. He declared the charge that
the influence of women at West Point
is detrimental to the cadets of the
academy is due to jealousy, and the
criticism of Mrs. Ayres is a tissue of
falsehoods by the officers of the army
anxious to hurt her. He added to at
tempt to settle the matter by appeal
to the military court would be suicidal,
as his experience has convinced him
military investigations are a farce and
have been used for years as a means
of destroying an officer's record.

Casualty Report from Battle
Witn Army of Rats Heavy
Union, S. C., Juno 10. —Ninety-six
pounds of fresh, tender rat meat and
not a Chinaman in view prevailed at
Sedalia, in this county, a few days
ago.
It all came about as a result of o
big rat killing in the large barn on
the plantation of Mi. Jas E. Minter.
For sometime it had bean reported
to Mr. Minter by his overseer that
rats were making heavy inroads into
his supply of corn.
One afternoon he with three others
stepped into the barn where there
was a mighty scurry of what seemed
to be an innuemerable host of little
rodents, and with the use of sticks
within a few moments they had slain
fifty rats.
A rainy day coming scon afterwards,
it was hurriedly decided to have a big
rat killing, which seems to be an ex
citing event, to say the learnt, in some
communities.
Five or six young men went to the
barn one morning about eight o'clock.
There was a rushing sound of myriads
of little feet —rats running here and
there, up and down, leaping through
the air, to meet swift death at the
hands of their white foes. One young
man soon after entering the door with
out moving from his tracks with the
aid of a heavy stick sent forty-nine
rats in a few moments into the rat's
happy hunting ground.
A total result of the four hour's
little engagement resulted in the death
of 365 rats which were actually count
ed, and it is estimated that 35 or 40
had been thrown oat before the count
was commenced, which makes really
k-bout 400 that were killed.
