against Kelley NOlle Pressed.
The case of G. B. Kelley. cbarp.
ed with murder in the first degree
was called in the circuit conrt
tuesday afternoon.
The indictment charged Kelley
with numbering Louis T. Richard
August 3ISt, 1898. The case is a
familiar one to the readers of the
TELEGRAPH. Richard had gone to
the home of Kelley during the
morning and they had spent the
day drinking together. Richard
decided to spend the night at Kel-
leyS home, and between O and 10
O'Clock he was shot and killed, Al
coroner'S jury investigated the
murder and before this Jury Kelley
swore that Richard had insulted
his wife and that he had killed him
IN VIndlcation of the honor of his
home. This story was corroborated |
by Mrs. Kelley, and the iury re-
turned a verdict of justifabie bomi.

the confessions of the accused
to base its case upon, and the
defense relied upon these confes
SONS tor verdict of acouittal
The state solicitor and assistant
counsel worked diligently to prove
I that Kelley had not shot Richard
IN defense of himself and his home
but that Richard was sitting in the
door IN an inoffenSive attitude
when he was shot. The prepon-
derance of the testimony showed
however, that Kelley had always
claimed, in cOnfessing the killing.
that Richard had grossly insulted
his wife and had beaten him with a
heavy stick, running him out of his
house, before he fired the fatal
shot. On this preponderance of
testimony the defense based its
contention that if Kelley had
shot Richard he was justified bv
the circumstances surrounding the
case.
The prosecution began the TAX
ing OF testimony by the introduc-
ton of J. M. Thomas. The wit. !

OUR TRADE OUTLOOK

from Washington says: Not only 4
Is true, as asserted by Consul General
Stowe in his long report to the state
departments on the imports into South
Africa, made from Cape Town, that
trade in that region has untold posri-
bilities, and that one Of Its obvious
features at present is the foothold
gained by United States goods, but II
is also true that the trade Of this coun-
try with the British and Dutch com.

weld together in common brother
hood the peoples who areinterested In
the trade and strengthen the bonds
that bind them In sentiment. These
are the worlds freesN and possibly

q matter Of deep interest to the lover
Of free government on the original

terprising tradesman and manufactur-

ticles mentioned as having held their

goods and appliances, steel and iron,
galvanized iron, tools, hoes, forks,
hardware, silver-plated ware, furni-
ture and window glass. An improved
demand for drilling and hosting ma.
chinery and oil gas engines Is noted.
England, 1t Is stated, sent more goods
In 1897 than ever before. English ship

sportsmen we would say, study the
game laws and beware OF the ward
ems. We again publish a resume of the
state game laws. The season on part
ridges does not begin for q month
after the season on ducks, geese and
chickens begins, as the law fixed Oct.
LIST as the first day when quail and
partridge can be hunted. All of these
birds are said to be very plentiful
this year, particularly partridge, and
hunters are looking forward to a good
fall for their particular hobbies,
whether it is ducks, partridges or
prairie chickens. If any ofthese birds
are killed out. of season, by the way
there is penalty of $40 to $25 or ten
to thirty days in jail for each bird so
killed.
Following the bird season comes
the deer season, and this is an event
that appeals to still another class,
in which some of the anglers and bird
hunters belong. Beginning Nov. /,
deer can be killed for use within the
state until Nov. 20, with five days al
lowed from the latter date ID which to
get the game out Of the woods, though
no one hunter is allowed to kill more
than five deer From Nov. s to Nov
10each hunter is privileged to kill one
moose if he is able to do SO. Before
this big game can be hunted, how
ever, it is necessary under the latest
notifications of the game laws for
the prospective hunter to take out a
hunting license, which may be obtain
in at the office of the county Auditor
of the county in which the hunting is
to be done. at a cost of 25 cents or S25
depending on whether the hunter is a
resident Of this state or not. The dis
crimination, ofcourse, is in favor of
the native, and tbs the nonresident
that is supposed to pay the S25. The
punishment for killing the big game
out of season is, of course, more
severe than that provided for the pro-
lection Of the birds. For each deer
killed in violation of the game laws
the statute provides a fine OF $50 TO
500 or Imprisonment for killing a
moose contrary to the regulations is
still more severe, being Imprisonment
for 80 to 200 days or a fine Of 800 to
$500.

were made by those who saw Martin
two years ago, when he could barely
distinguish Light from darkness, and
who saw him again four weeks ago.
They were amazed at his progress
toward recovery.

a stranger in Davenport. died yester-

He had arrived lately from Chicago
and had been drinking heavily for
some days before he was taken to the
hospital, which was five days ago, and
then he was in condition bordering
on delirium tremens. Very little is
known in regard to him. He was %
years of age and is said to have an
aunt residing in Chicago, who is one
of the police matrons of that city.
