NEW YORK IUPI1 - Stocks
crossed the 680 level in the indus
trial average today, scoring an
other moderate gain.
Brokers felt the influx of favor
able news developments over the
past few days had lured some
cautious investors out of hiding.
However, few were willing to pre
dict any market run-away in the
next week or two with the im
pending SEC investigation report
and the tax deadline still hanging
over the market.
The rally was fairly broad with
Chrysler in the motors, Du Pont
in the chemicals, Johns-Manville i

Morris in the tobaccos leading
their sections forward. Rails and

Gunman Pleads Guilty
To Assault
J. D. Kness, 38. the gun
ing Weyerhaeuser employe who
wounded his estranged wife, Glor
ia, four times in a gun shooting
at Bly, Feb. 26, appeared before
Judge David R. Vandenberg in
circuit court Monday and plead
ed guilty to assault with a dan
gerous weapon.
Judge Vandenberg set 10 a.m.,
Monday, April 1, as the time for
sentencing. Meanwhile, ,the court
is awaiting a report from the Sa
lem state hospital which will in
dicate the results of a recent
sychiatric examination given to
the defendant. The findings of the
tests will be considered in deter
mining the sentence to be passed
upon Kness. a spokesman of the
court stated.
Kness was the precipitator in
an old-fashioned shoot-out with
his wife, Gloria, at the Bly home
of the lattcr's mother, Mrs. Doris
Bell.
During a running gun battle
through the house, the partici
pants exchanged about 19 shots
with the result that Mrs. Kness
was wounded four times and
Kness was shot once.
Moments after the shooting,
1. Net liquor profits of 12'i per
cent distributed quarterly.
2. A lax of 10 per cent upon
manufacturers and importers of
alcoholic beverages, plus 30 cents
ot each $1.30 tax upon manufac
turers and importers of malt bev
erages.
3. Fifty per cent of liquor per
mit fees.
In addition, each city receives
60 per cent of liquor license fees
collected within cities. Cities
which have voted local option do
not share in net liquor profits
or in the manufacturers and im
porters tax, but do receive a
share of liquor permit fees.

False Alarm
Sheriff's deputies were s u m
moned to the summer cabins on
the east side of Lake of the Woods
Saturday to investigate a report
that a number of youths were loi
tering in an area where 16 cabins
had been reported burglarized
since March 18, according to the
sheriff's office.
Deputies interrogalcd the youths
and learned that they had been
camping in the area during the
-
spring vacation. Later investiga
tion by the deputies indicated that
there had been no vandalism or
pilfering in cabins on that part
of the lake since the last break-in
was reported.
The sheriff's office is keeping
the region under surveillance as
the result of the large number
of break-ins reported there last
week.
Earlier this month, the sheriff's
office apprehended three youths
in connection with the theft of a
3.5 outboard motor and a sand
ing machine from the boathouse
at the Lake of the Woods Re
sort. TID Plans
