BOONE, Ia, Jan. B.-(Special Telegram.)
About noon today the hardware store of
Alva Nelson at Mackey, little village
fifteen miles northeast of Boone, was
blown to pieces by terrific explosion and
the proprietor killed. No one was in or
about the building when the explosion
happened except Mr.. Nelson. Nelson was
breathing his last when NJ. NJ. Smith, who
was in his grocery store q short distance
away. arrived and consequently the cause
OF the explosion and circumstances sur
rounding II are not known. The building.
which was frame structure. was literally
blown to kindling wood and the explosion
was heard for miles. When the explosion
occurred Mr.. Nelson was getting ready to
go hunting. He had had his dinner. and
taken his gun to the store and gone to the
rear OF the building to get his ammunition.
and in the rear were kept gasoline and
some dynamite. The body was badly
mangled by the force OF the explosion,
though the face was not much disfgured.
1t Is supposed that dynamite was the ex-
plosive that caused the terrible accident,
| for Mr.. Nelson was In the habit OF carrying
1t in stock for blasting purposes.

der. On his return, the President, IL
he sees fit, can instantly direct the
resumption Of the discharges. 1t is
plain, however, that If he does it will
be impossible to conceal the fact that
he has taken his course against the
wishes and advice of one Of the most
important and influential members OF
his Cabinet. 1t is understood now that
Mr.. Taft intends to urge the entire
cancellation of the order and the re-
storation Of the men to duty
The fact that Secretary Taft had
the opportunity to hold up the dis
charge Of the men of the Twenty-ffth
has caused considerable comment
here. The order of the President was
issued on November 8, ten days ago,
but there has not seemed to be any
special haste at Fort Reno In execut-
ing 1t. On ordinary occasions it re-
quires only day or two to settle the
clothing account Of an enlisted man
and go through the formally Of dis
charge. II the usual celebrity had &C
companied the execution of this Or
der, all the men named in the order
of the President would have been dis
charged some days ago, and there
would have been no chance for the
Secretary to do anything for them.
Why the procedure has been so ielih-
crate at Fort Rena no one her is pre-.
pared or willing to say.
There is considerable reason to be-
Iieve, however, that this unpEecedenE-
ed slowness was for the purpose of Civ
ing Mr.. Taft chance to get here and
take action. The Secretary got back
on Saturday, and his promise to inter
vene was given that day. He began
carrying 1t out that day, and sent his
telegram to the President yesterday.
There seems to have been an impress.
sion in the army that Mr.. Taft would
have to be reckoned with.
The War Department has been de-
luged with protests against the three
companies. It is reported here that
further Investigation will be made.
and that certain officers may be call
ed on for an explanation in connec-
ton with the movement of these men
at the time the Brownsville Incident
occurred.
