OASTARDLY
 ID ASSASS|NATE SHANNON FOREMAN

A dastardly attempt to assassinate James Goolsby, a smelter foreman of the Shannon Copper Company, while he was on duty in the conver. ter department, was made Wednesday night at ten o'clock by an unknown assailant, whe fired one shot and then made his escape in the darkness.
 As a result of the attempt MT. Goolsby was wounded in the right arm and MT. Chiffon who was sitting beside him also received wound in the arm the bullet passing through Goolsby's arm and entering the arm of Chiffon who received the more serf ious injury of the two.
 Messrs. Parks, Goolsby and Chiffon were on the night shift Wednesday night and went about their various duties as usual. About ten o'clock, while waiting for a converter charge, the three men were seated on a rough bench in the converter square provid- ed for that purpose. This bench is in the open but is protected, by wind shield made of corrugated iron. The assailant crept up behind the wind shield, and placing his six shooter around the end of the shield, fired at Goolsby. That the assailant's aim was poor is the only thing that saved the foreman's life.
 Neither of the three men present when the first shot was fired saw or heard the approaching assailant. The would-be murderer crept up in the dark behind the men and was evidently familiar. with the surround ings and had previously planned how the shot could be fired without dis. covery. Following the shot the men could hear the assailant running away but he was soon swallowed. up ir the darkness.
 The sheriff's office was at once no. tified and officers were promptly on the scene. Three suspicious Mexi. cans were rounded up and placed in jail but as neither of the wounded men are able to identify their assail ant they will probably be released un less some strong circumstantial evi dence is forthcoming to hold them.

Dur ing the last few days of the campaign orders for the shares came to the home office in Phoenix from practi1 cally all over the country, and from British Columbia and the Hawaiian Is- lands.
 The possibility of finding oil in Ari- zona is the cause of considerable in terest in the financial circles of New York, and application will be made to list the shares on the New York Curb thus forming ready market.

loPSCAal tO SOPpCI GidsJ
 Phoenix, Feb. SIR. K. Minson, of Clifton has accepted the position of county food administrator for Green lee county and will assume his duties at once. Clothed with the full au- thority of the United States govern meat Mr. Minson will be responsible for the rigid enforcement of the food control act in Greenlee county and of the various rules and regula- tions governing licensees and others. Any violations or complaints should be taken up with him direct.
 A food administrator has been named for every county, this being in line with the new policy of Herbert Hoov- CT to extend the membership as rep resented in the signers of pledge cards and to make food conservation more effective.
 We certainly are gratified in secur- ing the services of MT. Minson for this highly important voluntary service, said Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona. As a leader in the home pledge card cam paign he rendered signal service in the cause and is ably fitted to handle the difficult tasks which have been placed upon his shoulders. I trust that he will receive the hearty support that his work deserves.

WEATHER CROP REPORT
Corn Is Not Suffering-Vheat Turn
ing Out Well.

The weather and crop conditions IN
Kansas for the week ended July %,
as reported by s. D. Flora, meteor
ologist, by the Topeka section center
of the weather bureau follow:
The fore part of the week was COM
paratively cool and pleasant, with
frequent showers over Kansas, which
netted more than an inch in a great
many western and a few central coun-
ties. Most of the eastern part of the
state, however, and some of the west
ern is beginning to need rain badly
Temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees the
last three days served to intensity the
drouthy effects.
Corn has improved where the heavy
rains fell and is standing the dry
weather remarkably well SO far, but is
rapidly approac ching the point where
soaking rains will be necessary to
make even a fair yield. In the north
central and northeastern parts of the
state. where the bulk of the crop is
usually produced, it is still rated as
good to e-.cellent and elsewhere as
fair to good, except in the extreme
southeastern counties, where the early
planted has been badly damaged al
ready. From a fourth to half of it is
in tassel and silking in the northeast
ern counties and tassels are beginning
to show i the western counties to
the Colorado line. In the SOUTHEASTERN

that point of development in the
northeast before August 1 and in the
north central and western counties
inside of two or three weeks.
Threshing wheat has been nearly
finished in the southeast and about
half of it done in the northea stern and
south central portions, and it is be-
ginning in the north central counties.
1t was delayed somewhat where the
heavy rains fell during the week. The
yields. especially in the eastern third
of the state, are very satisfactory. Oats
threshing is being held back until the
bulk of the wheat is out of the way.
Fall blowing has begun in all parts.

hard, and is being pushed where the
rains were heavy.
Pastures ere very poor and the
third crop of alfalfa making little or
no growth, except in a few favored
localities. Stock water is becoming
