WATCH THE TEETH

The United States government surely intends to take good care of the teeth of its ex-soldiers in Pres colt. Last January Dr. ]. Harvey
 Blain and Dr. Ralph J. Roper were appointed as county dental examin- CTS with authority to handle emerg- ency treatment direct. The great amount Of work coming from the Public Health Hospital has made it that both of these old established dental offices be called into play to handle the work. This certainly reflects the genuine inter- est of the district supervisors to have everything possible done for the health of the soldiers, and poor teeth cause many aggravations to a per sons health.

CASTRO ID LIVE FACES CHARGE
 OF MURDER

Herberto Castro will live and stand trial for the murder of Maria Rami- reg, 1t was indicated yesterday. The man whose life was despaired of, due to a wound in the left breast, was able to be up and write some letters yesterday. A coroner's jury returned verdict in the case of Maria Rami- reg that she had come to her death by wounds inflicted by Castro with homicidal intent.
 The night before a report was made by physicians attending Castro at the county hospital that he might not live. It was thought from the amount of blood he had lost that the bullet had pierced the lung and perhaps sev- cred some of the large arteries arch ing upward from the heart.
 A later investigation, however, showed that the bullet had taken an upward course and was lodged just under the skin high up on the shoul- der.
 The inquest, which was presided oyer by Coroner (. H. McLane, took into consideration the location and nature of the wounds on both the woman and Castro. It appeared to the jury that the woman's fatal wound in the heart and the one that trans fixed her left wrist could not have been self-inflicted, as claimed by Cas- tro in a statement to the county at torney within a short time after the tragedy Tuesday afternoon. The yer dict was signed by the following: Ben Enos, Del Dawes, William Tender son, George N. Nelson and Mark Warren. It is said that the verdict will lead shortly 10 the filing of an charging murder.

VIEW FROM FAIR GROUNDS IS MOST BEAUTIFUL \
 THIS PART OE THE STATE

One of the most beautiful settings
 in Northern Arizona is taht of the land owned by the Northern Arizona State Fair association, known locally
 as the flair grounds" in West Pres cott The vista to be had of the won
 derful mountains, beautiful pines.
 with Miller valley in bloom, Granite
 Dells aud the peaks at a distance, is
 one worthy of more than ordinary
 comment. In time this will undoubt-
 edly be made into one of the most
 beautiful parks in the west. It is a
 natural park in itself and with the
 improvements which are being made
 from time to time by the fair asso-
 citation, there is no question but what
 it will develop into one of the most
 attractive parks to be found any
 where.
 The grounds proper if the associa- ton are in excellent condition, hay ing been scraped and any unsightly objects removed. The fences have been rebuilt in places both on the out side and inside of the track. The road leading to the grounds has been put in Al condition. The Frontier Days association, as matter Of han ding the bulls for the roping contest in the most fair, square manner pos sible, have erected corral, connect ing with a chute in which eight bulls can be kept at a time. They will be led in and out of the corral and chute in the same fashion as the broncs. It is the most easy, natural and fair way to handle the stock. The corrals l erected last year are in readiness for the opening day, the splendid con struction work put into these last year | showing that not one nail was needed to put them in condition this year.
 When the wild horses arrive they | will find a special corral in which they can graze until time for them to make their appearance in the arena.
 Several loads of hay were unloaded .t the grounds yesterday, which will seep the stock going until the cele- oration.
 Monday, work on the grandstands. ,lacing them in .firsFclass shape for he celebration, will be done. This york is supervised by Chairman John I. Robinson and is a credit to that hairman, for the grounds and the general appearance of the entire lay ut are worthy of commendation.
 The bucking broncs, owned by the ssociation, are taking life easy, en- oying good feed, plenty of water, alt and the cool summer climate oi Prescott. One glance at them now 5ould deceive the most practiced eye
 The work of the arena director is O small matter, but Lester is han ling it with all the ease of veteran. n company with Bill Johnson, aaist- mt arena director and fellow who always on the job, trip was made { ) Shult & Mullen's pasture, where le stock for the bull roping contest T ere seen.
