 Re-enacting before a corOner's jury his brief struggle to wrest from the hands of his drunken camp-tender the rifle which a moment later, acci- dentally fired, killed the camp-tender, William Coleman, foreman of a Daggs & Co. sheep outfit crossing Tonto flat, yesterday recited to the jury the circumstances that led to that struggle on the edge of the des- ert Wednesday evening and resulted in the death of Ambrosio Sandoval, whose body was brought to Prescott Thursday night.
 i Coleman, calm and deliberate, faced the jurymen and Coroner Chas. H. McLane in the justice court room yesterday morning, and frankly and fully related his brief story, which was corroborated by Sixto Escalante, who, seated, he said, by the camp fire when the shooting occurred, wit messed the tragic accident,
 Sandoval had been drinking heavily Coleman told the jury. While he and Escalante were seated by the camp fire toward sundown "Wednesday evening, Sandoval removed Coleman's rifle from its saddle holster Before the two men knew what Sandoval was doing, he had walked toward them, staggering, Coleman said, as 8 drunken man would q don't be lieve he meant to shoot me-" the wit ness declared. The rifle was fired apparently by accident, the bullet taking effect in Coleman's right foot
 The foreman jumped up and took hold of Sandoval, seizing the rifle with both hands, by the stock and the barrel and trying to wrest the weapon from the other
 Somehow or other the gun went off again and killed Sandoval," said | Coleman, who then as closely as he could re-enacted the struggle, Coro- ner McLane enacting the part oi Sandoval How the rifle happened tc be- fired Coleman said he did not know. He did not know whether he or Sandoval pulled the trigger, or whether it was struck unaware dur ing the struggle. There had been nc quarrel between Coleman and Sando- val prior to the shooting, and nc word exchanged by them during the struggle, except Coleman's exclama- ton to the other, in Spanish: "Qui- tase el riflel Let go the rifle! Deputy Sheriff James Cook, inspect ing the weapon, declared it could not have been discharged except by pres sure on the trigger.
 At the conclusion of the coroner hearing, the jury found that Sandoval came to his death from a wound in- flicted by a rifle accidentally fired during a, scuffle with one William Coleman, while said William Cole man was trying to take said rifle away from the deceased.

The Wall Street Journal, contin-
uing its discussion Of the cotton out

famine" has the following TO say;
World cotton consumption may
soon overtake the supply. Consump-
ton in the six months ending Jan.
81, 1922, was so per cent OF mill
capacity. according to the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers.
This compares with less than 20 per
cent in the preceding six months.
"This statement should be read in
connection with the figures published
by the international Federation Of
Cotton Spinners. These figures from
Manchester showed that in the six
months ending with Jan. 81, ly2z,
the world consumed 1914, 900 bales
of cotton. In its report six months
earlier the world consumption from
Jan. 81 to July 81. 1921, the total
consumption was shown to be T.
357.212 bales. Here is an increase
of 2T per cent in six months
Manchester's figures showed 3d.
600, 900 active spindles in Europe,
compared with 1921, 900 in the half
year ending July 81, 1921. Italy,
which in the first part Of 1921 had
1850, 900 active spindles, in the sec
ond half Of the period had 1000. 900.
Great Britain also made substantial
additions to the active list. Domestic
consumption reports would indicate
that until disturbed by strikes our
mills were operating at 30 per cent
OF capacity.
when we take into consideration
that. In the year ending August 81,

authorities on cotton, said that in the
decade preceding the war consump-
ton was surprising production, and
that more cotton would have been

"The statement of this authority,

future supply an anxious one. Money
and much energy are spent to en-
courage cotton production outside

results have yet been achieved. The
United States, India and Egypt are
still the only sources Of supply, each
producing a different kind. IL the
report is true that the pink boil worm
is in Mesopotamia, the outlook for
the world increase is still more dis
couraging. Egypt's territory is lira-
tied, and India cannot increase its
acreage for years TO come.
Plainly, whatever increase in sup
ply there is must, for some years yet,
come from the United States. The
