Prescott city manager on the night
he was shot to death last August %,
the state this afternoon in two hours
of testimony had examined six pre-
liminary witnesses in the trial of
E. r, McKelligon charged with the

prosecutor, outlined the states case

Robinson had been induced to go to
the McKelligon home for purposes OF
brobery and blackmail and that the
act of homicide had been committed
in pursuance of that purpose.
Defense lines are drawn up on the
basis of self defense and the un-
written law. Robinson was found
beaten and shot to death about mid
night on August % in the yard of
the McKelligon home on the OUT
skirts of the city after he had
hurried to the place alone in his

ITS
STOCK DIVIDEND

DENVER, Dec IA (P.-The dividend
rate on shares of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company to.
day was increased from $175 to 81
per quarter, it was announced by ths
Board of directors following their
regular monthly meeting today.
The increased dividend, it was de-
-clared in statement by Frederick
H. Reid, follows the demand for
telephone service which is CONSTANTS
and continuously increasing. This
demand requires new plants and new
equipment and that requires new
money and new investment. The ex-
pansion program of the company, an
nounced some time ago, based on this
ever-increasing demand for service,
contemplates the Investment of some
$3S, 100000 of new capital during the
next five years. ..s,..
''To obtain money the telephone IN
dustry must compete with all other
industries in the worlds market FOR
money. Therefore the off
GERS and directors of the company IN
obedience to their judgment find
that it is necessary to increase the
dividend from $1.75 to 50 per share
quarterly.
while the book value of the prop
erty is approximately SCI, 100000,
only $38,OOO,O00 of capital stock has
been issued. Since an 8 per cent
dividend upon the company's stock is
equal to about 4 1-2 per cent on the
value of the physical property, which
is considerably less than the return
on money invested in like corporate
enterprises throughout the country.
the higher dividend rate IS
designed to enable the company tc
finance the new plant, which viii

Pitching Great Asset

Toronto won the pennant and How

Steve O'Neill. When Howley was
named to lead the Browns, the very
first thing he did was sign Steve.

considerably more as Howley's as
sistant than he did when he was the
best catcher in the American league.

secured Oscar Stanage, who was the
star catcher of the Detroit club
when Bush was the big noise at
short.
Both Howley and Bush realize the
value of good pitching. They will
put it up to O'Neill and Stanage to

have made possible intramural ath-

In addition, the football profits

Parker stresses the point that in

more than mere representative of
his college, rather he is a national

to keep pace with his reputation.

stantly are basking in the light of
