The state-federal crop-weather reporting service said Tuseday the severe thunderstorms brought much needed moisture.

A 12 by 40-mile area in Tillman and Cotton counties was hard hit by hail and up to 100 percent damage occurred to some crops. Small grain crops were helped by the rain. Nine-tenths of the corn crop has been planted and three-fifths is up to stand. First alfalfa hay cutting is half completed. Aphids have damaged many fields.

Continued from page one. love of fine horses indirectly caused her violent death. Coming home from a long ride. Belle asked her son to fetch her favorite horse from the pasture. The horse being wild and with much spirit, could not be caught by the young boy.

When he returned and told Belle this, she flew into a rage and whipped him with a whip until restrained by the men present at the time. The other outlaws caught the horse and rode off with their bandit queen, not to return to the ranch for two weeks. During this time, young Reed cleaned and re-cleaned his shotgun that once belonged to his dead father, Jim Reed. Even though the youth was slowly dying with T. he had a burning vengence inside that could not be cooled without a letting of blood.

This was a long two weeks, but at last Belle rode in leading the lawless band with saddle bags bulging with illgotten loot, and the long wait had come to an end. After Belle had dismounted and refreshed herself, she ordered a fresh horse saddled and rode up the trail to be by herself, as was her custom after a raid. Young Reed watched her go, then he went to the corral and saddled his horse, put the well oiled shotgun in the crook of his arm, and followed. About an hour later, a shot rang out. A half hour later Reed returned, looking pale and tired, with the hate gone from his eyes.

The next moring an Indian by the name of Pumpkin, found the lifeless body of the outlaw queen on the trail. The back of her head taken away by the blast of a shotgun. Three weeks later, Belle's son was laid to rest by his notorious mother, killed by a tiny microbe, not a hail of bullets, yet just as deadly. Belle's Indian friends did not forget her memory and a year after her death, an Indian horse trader, deft with his hands, made her a native stone mausoleum. The family placed a marble tombstone in front of her burial house, engraved with bells and stars, inscribed with this inscription: Shed not for her bitter tear nor give the heart to vain regret: 'Tis but the casket that lies here The gem that filled it sparkles Many years later, after Susan Field Tony, now had children of her own, Sal he remembers Pearl Reed bringing her mother a mink coat and sending her money from time to time.

Belle's family also remembered a friend and childhood companion.
