marks on the little girls body, the boy could not have been standing more than three or four feet from her at the time the shot was fired.
 A wide hole was torn in the right side, death probably resulting instant ly. The boy then ran to the home of Mrs. Packet, an Indian woman, about 200 yards away, and told of the killing. Mrs. Packet immediately investigated and found the girl dead. She in turn notified reservation officials.
 There were two witnesses to the shooting. Robert Lewis Colt, six-year- old brother of the murdered girl and Mary, three-year-o sister. The latter, however, was too young to realize what was transpiring and of course was not called to testify.
 Because the murder took place on an Indian reservation, the prosecution will be conducted by federal authori- ties. Young Sun is being held by off cials of the reservation until federal authorities arrive to take charge of the case. No charge has yet heen placed against the youthful gun-man.
 The coroners inquest conducted by Justice DeSouZa, was unique in that two women sat on the jury.

It was nee essary to press them into service on this occasion, however, as a sufficient number of men were not present.
 The verdict of the jury was as fol- lows: Isabel Colt came to her death as result of gunshot wounds caused by Fezekiah Sun"
 Members of the jury were Emma A. Williy, wife of Sheriff Wilky of Mari copa county, Mabel Larson, wife of the reporter of the county attorneys of flee, W. H. Toler, D. R. Petrie and w s. Weedman. all of Phoenix, and John H. Van der Walker, Indian agent on the reservation.
 Funeral services for the little girl were conducted Sunday morning.

Enraged because he had been ac- cused of a crime which he is alleged to have committed sometime previous, Hezekiah Sun. 13-year- old Indian boy shot and instantly killed 11-year- old Isabel Colt, also an Indian, at the home of her parents on the Gila Indian reservation, about 25 miles southwest of this city, shortly afternoon Sat turday. A 12-gauge shot gun was used, the full charge entering the little girls abdomen after passing through her right arm. The parents of the dead girl were in Phoenix at the time of the shooting and did not learn of her death until their arrival home late Saturday night.
 All testimony taken at the coroner's inquest, conducted by Justice Frank DeSouza of Phoenix Sunday morning, tended to indicate that Sun had care fully planned the murder The lad is said to have been of a troublesome na- ture, with an unruly disposition.
 Information secured by local officials who made the trip to the scene of the shooting Sunday morning was to the effect that the killing evidently was the result of a theft committed by Sun sometime ago
 The boy is said to have stolen a sad dle from the Colt home several weeks ago His parents, upon learning of the theft, returned the stolen article to MT. Robert Colt, father of the dead girl. Isabel had evidently told some of her friends of the incident, Sun finally hearing the story.
 Shortly before noon, according to the story young Sun appeared at the Colt home on the reservation. He met the girl in the ard, but what trans pired before the pair entered the house could not be learned. After entering the home, Sun is said to have gone di- rectly to the gun, loaded the same and then said to the girl, Why did you say about me-" Before she had an op- ,nortupitx, to aucxKtar ha fired From

Following is the report published
Monday by the Commercial Appeal
relative to the cotton acreage and
condition of crop to date. In Haywood
county the acreage has been somewhat
reduced and the recent injury to crop
by heavy rains will be the cause of
much replanting and in many instan-
ces corn will be substituted. Proba-
bly, half Of the crop in this county will
have to be planted over. The crop
now shows very unsatisfactory and
discouraging conditions in this coun-
ty. There will be an increase of from
thirty to forty per cent in the acreage
of corn planted in Haywood county.
Owing to variety of causes there
has been a falling off in the acreage
planted to cotton compared to last
year. The decrease is estimated by
the Commercial Appeal as 3.2 per cent.
The condition compared to normal
is 72.2 per cent, according to reports
of average date of May 20, This COM
pares with 77.5 on May rs last year.
and low recv<s fey tl=sr ssesse OF 5U.s,
raa.l q In 1uus
The government campaign for in
creased food production has been a
considerable factor in the decreased
acreage. Other influences are fear OF
boil weevil damage, scarcity of labor
and lack Of financial backing in sec
tions of Mississippi, Alabama and
southern Georgia, damaged by weevil
and storm last year, and the replant-
ing made necessary by cold weather
early in May, when much of the acre
age originally planted to cotton was
reseeded to food crops.
The crop received very severe blow
from the cold weather of May l to 10.
Up until that time progress was about
normal and the outlook excellent. The
cold weather caused seed to rot in the
ground and plants, where up, to die,
necessitating heavy replanting from
North Carolina to Texas. Much of the
replanting has not come up and there
is left an element Of doubt concerning
the stands. Any further replanting
would be impracticable, owing to scar
city of seed and the lateness of the
season. However rains at the end of
the period under review placed more
hopeful aspect on the situation.
Where cotton is up from the first
planting stands are not good as a
rule and the plant is small and sickly.
Texas and Oklahoma suffered some
what less than other sections of the
belt, and the outlook in those states
may be called good. A few boil weevil
have been seen in some sections Of in
tested areas.
Complaints of labor shortage are
not general, but there are many of
them, and in some cases the shortage
is said to be severe. Georgia and the
Carolinas have used slightly more fer
tilizers than last year, but its value to
cotton is said to be inferior.
