The jury of eight women and
four men in Judge Charles s.
Burnell's court will get Kelly's
case today and will begin deliberat-
ing on whether Kelly was guilty of
murder when he beat Raymond to
death with his fists, following a
quarrel over the affections of the
woman.
w. I. Gilbert, Kelly's counsel,
completed his appeal to the jury
at $3.50 yesterday and was fol-
lowed by Deputy District Attor-
ney Forrest r. Murray. who con-
cluded his address to the Jury at
$50 p. m. after which Judge
Burnell adjourned court
Asks Verdict of Guilty
Murray asked for a verdict Of
guilty.
According to Judge Burnell, the
jury may return one of three YER
diets. First degree murder. with a
death penalty unless q life impris-
onment recommendation is made;
second degree murder. with q PEN

ment. or a granddaughter verdict.
with a penalty Of to 10 years
in the penitentiary.
Close followers Of the trial predict
a verdict of manslaughter, with a
probability Of the jury disagreeing.
Dorothy MacKaye was not in the
court room yesterday and is still In
retirement.
Throughout his argument Gilbert
pictured Kelly as possessed Of more
youth than common sense. He
blamed Raymond for losing the
affections OF his wife and defended
the first attack made by Kelly as
the act of a hot-tempered and love.

SHETEK WATERS DROP TWO
INCHES FROM HIGH MARK

Lake Shetek waters evidently reach
ed the highest point that flood stages
can raise it to last week for slow
but gradual recending of the water
is now noticeable.
On Tuesday of last week the lake
was at its highest and for time it
seemed that the Valhalla dyke must
certainly give way. The east end OF
the dyke was under water and had the
lake been free from ice and a high
wind blowing the dyke would most
certainly have been washed away. A
crew of men were set at work, how
ever, and besides being rip-rapped, the
dyke has now been raised so that it
will stand any flood stages. With the
completion of the work on the dyke,
the water began to recede and is
now several inches lower than last
week.
The snow of Sunday will again
raise the lake, but it will be for only
a few days, as the water continuing
to flow over the dam maintains fair
ly even level and only in flood times
brings it to a level of 1Sinches to 2
feet higher at Valhalla than at the
dam.-Slayton Herald.

they owe so much now they cannot
wisely borrow more and have no mon
ey with which to buy anything they
can get on without.
Increase in consumption of farm pro-
ducts can come quickly, however, if
every business man and farmer will
use horses and mules for all work
which can be done as cheaply with
animals as with trucks or tractors.
This will mean the use of horses and
mules in all city hauls that are less
than 5 miles in length or where the
driver is worked to capacity on routes
not over 20 miles.
Eighty per cent of all city hauling
in cities of $4,000 and up falls in this
category; and all hauling in cities
under $4,000 can and out to be done
with horses. Use of substitute equip
ment increases cost to the consumer
and decreases the market for farm
foodstuffs. The shift was made in the
first place because merchants thought
motor equipment might be cheaper,
because they were sold on the idea
of 'being up to date" and because it
was easier to get boys to drive de-

Direct damage already done to farm
markets is shown by the following
figures furnished by the Departments
of Architecture and of Commerce,
