WALL STREET WALL STREET CHATTER NEW YORK (ITU-Investors Research Co. feels that what must be watched now is the na ture of the summer rally from present price levels. The firm says that, if upward momentum resumes the strong trend that it showed from Janu ary to May, a significant exten tion of the bull market can be predicted confidently. However, ill the uptrend should falter during a spirited rally, the bull market w ill be in danger of reversal. The Alexander Hamilton Insli lute feels that institutional inves tors are holding off on purchases awaiting a clarification of the do mestic picture. They feel this is indicated by the lack of a summer rally which is usually stimulated by mid-year reinvestment de mand. Tlie institute says that un der the circumstances, a hesitant market, susceptible to daily news reports, is no surprise. Analyst James Dines says that (he only saving grace in the mar ket's recent downslide is that vol ume has been contracting over the past several months. He feels this indicates a diminishing buy ing interest rather than selling pressure. William. R. Whito of Hornblow- er 4c Weeks considers it logical to expect continued emphasis on cautious policy until the out look for autumn business becomes clearer.

Sheriffs Raleigh Wheeler, state livestock Inspector, observed a criminal warrant presented to him in cir cuit court early this morning and told a jury that the date citing the time he served it on Fred Beymer had been changed from March 16 to March 25. The statement was made by Wheeler as the trial of Sheriff Murray "Red" Britton, charged with allowing a prisoner to escape official detention, entered its third day in the court of Judge Donald A. W. Piper. The sheriff is accused of hav ing released from custody Fred Beymer, who had been charged with the embezzlement of an ani mal upon his arrest by Wheeler on March 16. Beymer, later acquitted of tlie embezzlement charge, had not posted bail when released from jail by the sheriff on the same day he was arrested. Wlieeler, one of three witness es who testified in court before 11:30 today, took the warrant from Deputy District Attorney Bob Thomas and related, to the jury that the date he had inscribed on the warrant had been written over in heavy ink. Deputy District Attorney Thom as did not pursue the matter as to who may have changed the date on tlie warrant. Later during the proceedings to day, the deputy district attorney produced a record of the arraign ment of Beymer which occurred in the circuit court of Judge Da vid R.

Thieves Hit Hillis Firm A safe was reported broken into at the Hillis Refrigerator Com pany, 203 Riverside Drive, some time Tuesday night and over $40 taken. The break-in was reported at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday by Hillis employes. After investigating the crime scene city police found en try was gained in the rear of the adjoining Western Beverage Com pany and then by forcing a door at the Hillis warehouse. The safe was rolled back into Western Beverage and the thieves apparently worked on it quite a while before the door opened. Western Beverage reported a con siderable quantity of b e e r was consumed by the thieves while they were working on the safe. About $12 in the safe was over looked by the imbibing thieves. Walter Donart Services Held Funeral services were held Wed nesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. from the Adams Forkner Funeral Home in Seattle for Walter W. Donart, 71, who died unexpectedly on July 20.

He was a furrier during much of the time he lived here. He is survived by his widow. Florence K.

The sheriff's answer was, "Just got him, your honor," the rec ord states. Other witnesses in court May were Jess Abbott, circuit court re porter, and E. Nicholson, slate brand inspector. During opening testimony in court yesterday. Deputy Eistrict Attorney Bob Thomas sought to introduce as exhibits a number of records from the jail, county clerk's office, and the c 0 u n t court. The proposed entry of most of the records as exhibits was the subject of objections by the de fense attorney, who in express- ing his opposition indicated theiney charged that the indictment line of defense he would follow in defending Sheriff Murray Brit ton. The defense attorney argued re peatedly that the case against Britton was faulty on three grounds. First, State Livestock Officer R. W. Wheeler, who is also a state branding inspector. did not have the authority to ar rest Fred Beymer, the prisoner who had been charged with em bezzling an animal and was later released from custody by Britton. the attorney said. Tlie point made by the attorney sent Judge Piper thumbing through the statutes and he paused at one page to read aloud that a stale branding inspector did have tlie power to arrest. Britten's attorney then pointed out to the judge that Wheeler had signed the warrant served on Beymer In tlie name of "Live stock Officer." and not "Brand ing Inspector." The issue was pursued later un der the cross examination of Wheeler bv Britlon's attorney. niityaDiM Wheeler said that on Friday,! March i;. hp sought and ob: tained from Sheriff Britton a war rant charging Beymer with the embezzlement of an animal. I Wheeler staled that the following day he served the warrant on Beymer, who was in Malin work ing for Stuart "Nicholson, a Fort Klamath rancher, and took him in custody to the Klamath Conntv Jail. Before cross. examination of the witness, Britlon's attorney read lo the court a paragraph from the stale statutes which cited that Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?

The local firm was owned by Beatrice Foods Inc. of Eugene. Both Geraghty and Masten have long records of successful dairy ing operations and both are ac quainted with the need for a re turn of the firm to the local processing of milk and milk prod ucts. For the last 18 months, bulk milk purchased in this area by Beatrice Foods Inc. has been shipped to Eugene, bottled for retail distribution and returned to Klamath Falls. Under the new ownership, the present plant is to be remodeled to accommodate return of thi processing plant to handle whole milk and milk products. Some new equipment will be added to that of the plant which is now available. Milk will he purchased from E. V. Strunk Succumbs Ernest Vernon Strunk, 66, a res ident of Klamath County since 1943, died in the Veterans Hos pital at Portland on July 22. He had been in the hospital since last fall.

Questions only peace officers or members of the Oregon State Police were empowered with the authority to arrest. Then he asked Wheeler, "Are you a peace officer?" Yes. I am," Wheeler an swered. "Oh? And what kind of a peace officer are you?" "Why, I'm a peace oificer for the Department of Agriculture," Wheeler replied. The attorney reiterated the par agraph from the state statutes and asked again of Wheeler, "Do you consider yourself a peace of ficer?" "That's what I was told when I passed my state examination in Salem." Wheeler answered. On the second point, the ador against Britton incorrectly stated that Beymer had unlawfully been released from custody on or about April 16. The accurate date was actual ly March 16, one month earlier than that noted on the indictment. The attorney cited that Beymer was arrested March 16 and ap neared in circuit court on March 25. when he posted bail and plod slecD with r nagging backache Now!

Deputy District Attorney Thom as then pointed out to the court that the indictment read "on or about" April 16, and added that the state was not obligated to prove that the incident occurred on any specific day. On the final point, the attorney for Britton argued that the indict ment states that the defendant, "as a public servant," was re sponsible for releasing Beymer from custody.

The highlight of yesterday's pro ceedings was in the form of testi mony from Beymer and Larry Alexander, a Klamath Falls po lice officer who testified that he was assisting the sheriff's office in the county jail at the time Beymer was apprehended. The testimony of the two wit nesses was somewhat at vari ance. Beymer denied that he had ever been booked at the jail or that he had relinquished property from his porson to any of the jailers. In later testimony, Alexander stated this was not so. The wit ness stated that he hod entered Beymer's name in the jail ledger and had also received his person LIVELIER ! tion for long distance calling will be found in the introductory pages of the new directory.

' Alexander added that after he booked the prisoner he observed Britton and Beymer talk briefly with one another and then heard the sheriff tell Beymer "he could go." At that point, Alexander said he returned the property to Bey mer and the latter left the jail. In early testimony, Beytrler stated that after he departed from the jail he went directly to Coos Bay where he remained four days to attend a basketball tournament. Other more principal witnesses who testified yesterday were Stu art Nicholson, Beymer's employ er; Frank Ganong, county com missioner; Charles DcLap, couity clerk, and Bert Vaagan, chief jailer.
