Thereupon and before further challenges are exercised, the clerk shall draw another juror and he may be examined for cause and challenges for cause made. The parties shall proceed alternately, exercising their peremptory challenges until the same are exhausted and the jurors then remaining in the box shall be sworn as jurors to try the case.
