Fifteenth Annual Meet
Dawson County Fair
Most Successful in History Of County--Efforts
OF Association Appreciated Gate Receipts
Break All Records

The fifteenth Annual Meet of the
Dawson County Fair Association,
which opened yesterday holds forth
every promise of being, what the
officials of the Association have been
predicting for some time past-the
greatest all-round exhibition ever held
in Dawson County.
The weather so far has been ideal:
the agricultural exhibits have eclipsed
anything ever seen here, both in the
number of different varieties shown
and the excellence of each variety; the
live stock exhibits, while scattered
about the grounds In sort of hit and
miss manner, were better than ever
before; the fruit exhibit, which for
want of a suitable room, is placed in
the household department, surprised
many people who have not been keep
ing in touch with what our nearby
farmers are doing in the orchard line;
the poultry show was crowded for
space; the races, both the running and
pacing, are fully up to lasts years high
standard; the Ladies Relay Race in
which only two entries were made, are
nevertheless as exciting as ever; the
motorcycle races promise to be bet
ter than lasts contests for the rea-
SON that the entrants, with the ex-
ception Of young I4arimer, are old
hands at the racing game, and on that
account no serious accidents are look
ed for; the cowboys were, If anything,
in larger numbers than last year, and
pulled of many stunts, both schedul-
ed and unscheduled, that enable them
to retain their places in our hearts;
In fact, from every point Of view. this
years Fair was better than any we
have ever held. and Notwithstanding
the fact that large slices Of our terri
tory are being taken away from us, al
most daily-at least so 1t seems.
The Gate and Grand Stand receipts
for yesterday were $3s2..00, more than
one hundred dollars In excess of last
years opening day. Today's total re-
ceipts were $901.S0, and tomorrows
promise to beat even these two rec
ord breakers.
The Glendive Band, under the lead
ership Of Director George Jones, did
valiant service, playing each afternoon
at the Fair grounds, and each evening

on the main street, besides participat-
ing in Fridays big parade.
The Indians were somewhat of a
disappointment, being few in number,
and refusing to pull off the stunts on
the grounds for which they had been
scheduled. AS Fred Goulding says: "It
is only a few of the older bucks, who
have the suits that go with suitable
Indian display, the younger men be-
ing Carlisle graduates whose only
suits consists of the latest Broadway
styles, high collars and B ". DIS and
cigarettes. Yes, the day of the real,
good, old-style Indian exhibitions is
past" We see the point and certainly
agree with him.
Some important improvements have
been suggested for next year. First
of all a suitable Live Stock building
will be erected wherein the animals
will not only be more comfortably
housed, but the spectators enabled to
view them without danger of being
trampled to death.
Another suggestion is the enlarg-
ing of the School Exhibition booth,
which will be done by extending the
present room, the entire length of the
building.
A suggestion has also been made to
supply suitable room, properly venti-
lated and also barred from intruders,
for the use of our fruit exhibits, which
are rapidly increasing in Importance as
well as in size.
No attempt will be made to give
any of the results Or the names Of the
winners in this issue of the Monitor.
We do hope. however, to give as many
results next week as our space will
permit.

tended.
DR.. A. A. Baker Of this city, who has
been second in command of the state

ed temporary leave Of absence, was

DR.. Baker made a brief but inter
esting address in which he told of the

Dan ]. Donohue, for the excellent man
iner in which he handled the situation
throughout,
Q. j. Blanchard, chief statistician Of
the Reclamation Service, whose head
quarters are in Washington, D. c., gave
most interesting talk along the lines
Of getting the most out of the service
by boosting-not knocking.
Mr.. Blanchard deplOred the present
day methods OF some of our irriga-
ton farmers, who seem to take the
utmost pleasure In knocking the SER
vice on every occasion and to such an
extent that many good man ia kept
from taking up land on the different
projects, who otherwise might have
been induced to settle and make money
for himself.
g. D. Hollecker, president of the
Dawson County Fair Association, made
brief address on the Fair program.
Desmond ]. O'Neil, candidate for the
Office Of County Attorney on the Dem
ocratic ticket, told what he knew of
the proposed new Prairie county.

 General Zaragoza. the federal com- mander, has made public announce n1ent of his determination to defend Tampico to the last. On the other hand. he is reported to have said to 8 friend last Friday that opposition to an American advance would be quite hopeIess; that he would only make feeble show of defense, sufficient to satisfy the demands of honor and then evacuate the city. General Zaragozass force is not believed. to exceed 1000 men.
 Considering the. federal situation from the standpoint of rebel attack. all indications point to their ability to defend Tampico indefinitely. The fed erals are we'll supplied with artillery but the rebels have none.

REFUGEES PRAISE
 BRITISH OFFICER
 FOR THEIR SAFETY

Vera Cruz, April 29-R efugees from Soledad are enthusiastic in praise of Commander Tweedfe. whose deter mined stand, they believe, alone saved them from probable death or at least prolonged suffering. On being releas- cd from the penitentiary at Soledad, where they had been confined for pro. lection against the mob. the refugees were taken to the railroad track and handed over to a Mexican major who had no instructions as to what to do with them A train bound for Mexico City passed but they were not permit ted to board it.
 After waiting hours in the blazing sun, Commander Tweedie's train steamed in sight bound for Vera Cruz Several refugees approached the British officer and to him related their plight.
 You need not worry" Commander Tweedie answered. This train will not leave this place without you.'' OBTAINS AMERICANS RELEASE
 Commander Tweedie insisted to the Mexican officer that he be permitted to take the Americans with him to Vera Cruz and he refused to listen to the officers protest that he had no authority in the matter. The federal officer finally capitulated and hasten ed back to the city for Instructions,
 
 for the Americans to depart.
 On the night when the situation was especially serious, the mayor address ed the citizens. urging them to be calm. The most effective work. how ever. was done by the connmandant who seized several hundred of the most aggressive rioters and sent them away to the capital to fill the ranks of General Huerta's forces. There was no further open display of hos tility by the townspeopIe.
 Rear Admiral F1etcher's experiment last night in granting the population of Vera Cruz the fullest measure of liberty to move about the streets ap- parent1y proved completely successful Outside of one or two shots fired in the outlying districts which did nc damage. the city was perfectly tran quill
 5000 MEN AVAILABLE

 With the troops already here and on the way, and with the marines ot11- CT than the ships guards, General Funston will have close to 5000 men ashore when his force is complete.
