SPIES AFTER MA HERO.
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 11.—That
Mexican spies are after Francisco
Madero, the recent opponent of Pres
ident Diaz of Mexico, became evi
d, nt when an atempt w as made ast
night bv Mexicans to break into the
Ivonie of Ernesto Fernandez, where
Madero has been staying. He is now
putting up at a hoel.
A crowd variously estimated at
from 3,500 to 4,000 persons saw
the fire drill on the square Friday
night marking the feature event
of the first of the two October
Trades days. The crowd began gath-
ering early. At 8 o'clock the fire
works were started, a bit prema-
turely, for it was thirty minutes
iater before the waterworks siran
sounded the fire afarm. The hose
company and ombination company
made [the long run around square
in tecdrd time ?nd with two streams
of water aided by the chemical al
most "extinguished the blaze, and oil
soaked pi e boxes on the north
sideof tne sqi are, tc<, soon.
Dating the flame a ..ndden flare
of flame from the court house third
floor gave the signal for the hook
and ladder men to start their part
of the drill. In record breaking time
the extension ladders were reach
ing to that floor and a fireman was
making the steep climb to an open
window wherein was a dummy fig
ure whose rescue was the climax
to t lie nt ID
After the water fight was the
closing event of the program. The
two teams were made up as follows;
No, 1. Roy Cowan and -Joe Turpin,
plug men; Dick Turpen, R. B. Rich,
nozzlemen.
No. 2.—Boss Taylor and Sidney
Lacy, plug men; Will Street anil
Adam McNitzky, nozzlemen.
No. 1, which was to make con-
nection with a plug on the northeast
corner, had hard luck by the threads
on the hose cutting across and mak
ing it impossible for them to screw
it on to the plug. Their nozzlemen
had to stand several minutes tak
ing the stream from No. 2. A second
trial resulted almost as badly for
team No. 1, again from the cut,
threads.
While perhaps there was some dis-
appointment at the size of the crowd,
the firs" of the two trades days op -
ened Friday tinder wholly auspicious
conditions. The weather was sim -
ply superb, the exhibits were gen-
erally full and good and good crowds
attended all the day.
The pretty weather, however, tin
doubtedly ken many at home who
otherwise would have been here.

the cotton fields at this time of the
year, and most of tlienr are holdng
l,6ck for the second day, when most

Tile joe 'ng Of the <c:*n exhibits,
however, was done by Prof. Fergu
son Friday afternoon.
The crowd during the mornin,;
hours was comparatively slow in
riming, but toward noon busine-s
began picking up. Exhibitors began
arming with wagon load after wag-
on load ot stuff for exhibit and coir. -

o'clock on receiving and placing the

John B Hob-en was there as us-
ual with his farm exhibit. T. A. M<-
Gailiard came in with his load of
s uff that attracted a lot of at ten
tion and the members of the boys'
corn club, to whom was given a
large Space, began placing the best,
samples of their years work in the
cornfield.
The ladies' side of the house at-
tracted a good deal of a'tenti n, es-
pecially among the feminine por
tions of the crowd, and the speci-
mens of fancy work and other ex
hibits showed that the women "1
t.ie coun'y are holding up their
part of the procession along with
the men folks ill the latter's ag
rieultural line.
The feature of the trades tiay
Friday afternoon was the judging ot
the Boys' Corn Club exhibits.
A good number of the boys ot
the corn clubs of the county were
present with exhibits, and after the
judging they were assembled in the
hall and listened to an interesting
address by Alvin C. Owsley, presi
dent of the Denton Chamber ot
Commerce. After the talk of Mi.
Owsley, Win. Gan/.er, District i'ni-
ted States Agricultural agent, who
organized the boys' clubs and has
had supervision of the work, in
trodueed A. M. Ferguson of Slier
man, president of the Texas Corn
Growers' association, who ua\e th
boys an instructive talk along the
line of corn raising, which was lis-
tened to attentively by tile member.!
Wm, Ganzer. after Mr. Ferguson
had finished speaking, in a verj
interesting, and instructive talk, an
Iiounced the winners of premiums in
the corn exhibits. It his talk, Mr
Ganzer called special attention to
the reports of the acreage yields
secured by members of the club
the largest of which was over "I
bushels per acre, which was raise
by Henry Barfknecht of Lewisvi!'
.,ir. Ganzer stated that in a num' r
of instances the members of the bo\
corn clubs had grown from twenty
to thirty more bushels to tile ai r<
than their fathers, who had corn
on the same farms, the bovs fol

Good Business.
If the first of the two October
trades days was a bit disappointing
in attendance the second more than
made up for it. The crowd was Per-
haps the biggest of the year, the
day was pleasantly spent with many
forms of entertainment for the vis-
itors and every merchant in Den -
ton had about all the business he
and an extra force of clerks could
wait on.
There were so many different
forms of entertainment during the
day that the visitors were unable to
see more than a part of them and
had to make a choice between sev -
eral, especially during the afternoon
when, at different times, a broncho
busting, the livestock show, the
tournament, a football game, a trio*
bicycle 'rider and the displays in
the Wright building were all on,
each getting its share of the crowd.
The livestock show especially
drew a big crowd and many fine
entries. A ring was roped off on the
northeast corner of the square and
the different animals shown therein.
All traffic was stopped for the time
being. The announcement of the
awards was of especial interest to
the entrants.
