YAVAPAI HAS HUGE
 FARM MOVING AHEAD

In ad- dition to this large farm movement the company maintains a breeding farm for White Faced HerefordS, which is situated on an adjoining di- vision.

The killing took piacG just a short time later, the witness said.
 Bud Buys Gun
 The clerk in the Hill Hardware Company store from whom young Stephens had purchased the gun was placed in the chair and told of how the youth had come in and asked for a Colt model known as the police positive. Guns being scarce, the wit ness said, they could not supply such a weapon, and offered Bud a differ ent sort of gat, secondhand one which had been left with the firm to sell. Bud purchased this gun and box of shells and left the store.
