from a person.
They are accused of taking $15

until Wednesday when Kelley was

his flesh wound.
Kelley admitted shooting Brown
with a 7.65 mm automatic pistol

He said that the girl. Mary Rob

had taken the pistol to try to get
the money back.
Various other witnesses told city
police other stories, most of which
indicated that the girl had stolen
$15 from Brown while dancing and
that he had later taken the money
away from her.
Witnesses said that Kelley came
in waving the automatic and mak
ing threatening gestures. They said
he fired one shot at Brown and
that Brown immediately brought
out his $15 and gave it up.
Kelley told police that he fired
when Brown reached into his
pocket as if to draw a knife.
Brown signed the complaints to
day against Kelley and the young j
woman. Kelley said he had re-
tained Attorney A. C. Yaden to
represent him and Is held in the
county Jail in lieu of $2500 bail.

Lake Hits
Highest Level
Since 1943
Upper Klamath lake is higher
than at any time since 1943, and
has gained more than 50.000 acre
feet In available storage since May 1.
California Oregon Power company
officials said Thursday that the lake
now stands at 4142 8 feet above sea
level, or about six Inches under the
maximum permitted under the
Copco permit with the federal gov
ernment. There Is currently no spill or
waste in Link river, with virtually
at the lake's discharge of 1431 sec
ond feet (24-hourly average June 1)
going through the two power plants
on the river.
Copco District Manager Sam
Rltchey said It Is planned to hold
the lake as high as possible as long
as possible. He said Improved mois
ture conditions late in the season
resulted in the heavy increase In
storage in the lake. For the last 10
days, Williamson river, chief In
flow stream, has been running at
2300 second feet consistently.
Because of moisture conditions
down the valley, the reclamation
service has been drawing rather
liiiitly on the lake. On June 1, the
main canal was carrying only 480
second feet, or about a third of ca
pacity. The reclamation service said to
day that available storage In Upper
Klamath Is now 476.730 acre feet.
Or May 1, It was 423,790 acre feet.
Rain Skips
Over Basin
Parts of the Klamath basin were
drenched early Thursday night but
other sections escaped without a
drop of moisture.
There was a heavy downpour re
ported In the Conger avenue dis
trict and a lighter drizzle fell at
the same time about 9 o'clock at
Gem stadium off S. 6th.
Residents of the Hager and Hen
ley district reported a heavy rain
storm at that time and the airport
section also came In for a good wetting.
Tulelake residents said it started
raining at 8 o'clock and kept up for
about one hour. It was described
a "good downpour." Earlier, at
both Merrill and Malln, a heavy
shower pelted that section.
There was considerable lightning
display in town between 8:30 and 9
p m. and lightning is thought to
have caused one of the big trans
mission lines out of the Klamath
river plant to go out of service at
4:30 p. m., Copco officials said here.
Service was not restored until 7:43
a m. but the other supply line was
able to carry the load.
There was no damage to crops.
