from off the shelves in order to make
room for the new stocks that is to be
ordered from the manufacturer.

Caruso, tenor, who suffered grave
heart attack last night was reported
to be slightly improved early today.
Attending physicians admitted, how
ever, that the famous singer was "des-
perately ill.," He had been improving
steadily from severe attack of pleur-
isy and his relapse was entirely uneX-
pected. The sacrament of extreme
JUNCTION was administered to him at
1925 o'clock this morning by Rev E. E.
Molinelli of the Church of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. Caruso at intervals
throughout the night and early morn
ing hours lapsed into semi-conscious-
ness but rallied slightly after minis
trations of oxygen and heart stimu-
lants. Fully aware of his condition,
Caruso directed the sending of tele-
gram to his son, who is a student at
Culver Military Academy in Indiana.
He then expressed to his wife a desire
to see his friends and all the singers
with whom he had been associated in
the Metropolitan Opera company to
tell them goodbye" Antonio Scott,
and his accompanist, M. Fucito, ap-
peared early at the Caruso apartment
in the Vanderbilt Hotel and remained
several hours. They were joined by
Orville Harold, Florence Eastman and
others, members of the company, who
returned late from Philadelphia where
they played last night. All were deep
ly affected They reported Caruso in
cheerful mood Shortly after $3.50
a. m. it was announced at Caruso's
apartment that he was "holding his
own" He had rallied considerably, it
was said, but his condition was still
very serious.

ARIZONA'S RANGES SHOW IMPROVEMENT;
 MORE STOCK MOVED
(From Fridays DaiIyl

Improved range conditions in Ari- zona are reported by the federal re- serve agent at San Francisco. Heavy showers in the range sections of this state, he says, greatly benefited growing feed and replenished the fail ing water supply.
 Indications are, according to the federal reserve report, that hay and grain will be abundant at country points adjacent to range areas, at prices not to exceed SC per ton for hay and $l per hundred pounds for feed grain.
 More cattle were received during July at the principal markets of the district than were received during June, and receipts approximated more closely than a month ago re- ceipts during the summer of 1920. Calves continue to be sent to market in numbers about half those of 1920.
 Information from 60 markets in the United States shows that the amount of feeder stock sent to market during the first six months of this year was 25 per cent less than last years figures.

John L.

He said George was laughing and sober"

 Spectators were given a thrill late yesterday afternoon when the trans portation ambulance from Fort Whipple, in turning out for a horse and wagon at the intersection of Gurley and Cortez streets, climbed over the young mountain of dirt and boldly leaped the city water main trench crossing Gurley. No one was injured and no damage was done the machine.
 The ambulance was coming down the Gurley street hill, bringing its 5 o'clock load of Whipple employees back to town. The horse and wagon crossed Cortez and entered the mar row passageway at the crossing. There was nothing to do but turn out to avoid a collision, and the am bulance found itself with the front wheels on one side of the trench and its back wheels on the other By means of heavy boards across the trench, the machine was backed off, turped around and driven back to the barracks.

 Leo T. Stack of counsel for the defense, began his first work in a murder case when examining tales men yesterday.
 Bailiff Bill Poulson looked almost naked and certainly unashamed, as he sat in the court room yesterday, de- void of the desk that heretofore had masked his long legs. The desk, it might be explained, has been escheat- ed to the upper court room for the reporter in the smoke case.
 Mrs. Frank George, wife of the de- fendant, sat at the counsel table dur ing the selection of a jury that will decide the fate of her husband. She had changed her costume and wore a dark blue taffeta dress with broad d-brimmed hat of the same ma terial and trimmed with a black feather.

Frank George shot Ed Bowers. Circumstances not yet made appar- ent, will be shown in mitigation of the offense. The reduction of the verdict to a lesser form of offense than that of first degree murder, is strong hope
 These were indications yesterday during the examination and final se- lection of jury to try the defend ant, Frank George, for the murder of Undersheriff Bowers on the after noon of July ? last.
 Fears that the reservoir of tales men in the body of the court room would not hold out were felt when at 5 o'clock, in golf parlance, the game stood up and 1 to go. The final talesman was called. He quail fled. The defense then asked and ob- tained leave to question further, Lee Williamson. For a moment it look ed as though the case might go over until that twenty-ninth talesman could be secured. But it was on the books that the introduction of testi- mony would be reached in the George case this morning.
 Judge Stanford and counsel agreed to return after dinner and proceed with the striking of the jury. At s o'clock Mrs. Lula Mcintosh, the deputy clerk, had called the roll, sworn the 12 jurors and had read the information and plea. All of the pre- liminaries had been cleared away, and al o'clock this morning, the state will begin offering testimony.
 There was a small percentage of disqualifications on the grounds of tlie conscientious scruple against hanging a convicted first-degree mur- derer. But 13 of the 42 available veniremen were excused for cause.
 The Usual Crowd
 The regular crowd of curious mur- der trial fans was on hand augment ed by a number of other interested spectators who are new to Yavapai county murder trials. The court room was not uncomfortably crowd ed, as it is expected to be during the remainder of the week while evidence is being put in.
 The examination of the talesmen proceeded without hitch. One or two of the men on being questioned as to their knowledge of the alleged facts ot the case, were severe by inference on the newspapers, stating that they did not let what they saw in print influence them. One talesman, E. D. Foreman, a colored cook, caused a small senation when he was being l questioned by John Russell for the 1 accused about his state of mind. He said he was from Waco, Texas, and i was on defense-at least that was ! what his answer was first thought to be- It was quickly developed, how ever, that he had said he was on that apparatus so much used for defining | property boundaries as to be used | familiarly as a symbol of neutrality
