REPORT CONFIRMED

The following report received late
this afternoon from lerington con
rms the report OF the dynamiting
OF the building and dispels any hope
that the destruction OF the, building
was from the collapse OF the walls,
as was thought by many who knew
the situation in Icrington
Especial TO Appeai}
morning about | O'Clock the inhab-
liant, of this city were startled by 4
very heavy explosion. Many build
ings were rocked as by an earth
quake and several windows were
shattered. he people rushed out
badly frightened and soon slAs.~str cers
were filled with people partially
clothed - LN
Upon investigation it was found
that thc-,cntirc second story OF the
new Court House had been wreck
ed, making a pile oil debris and
junk OF the work that has been in
progress on this portion oi the new
structure. 1t was Immediately cvl-
dent that dynamite or mtro-glyccr-
ince had been used to effect the
-wrccking OF the upper structure OF
the building.
The County Commissioners and
Sheriff Randall are carrying on ali
investigation i'll order ii possible to
gain some clew to those implicated
i'll the plot oil destruction. The
work was well planned and the ctfec,
OF the explosion carried out practic
ally all OF the upper portion OF the
new work, together with the girderS
and concrete that had been used.
The destruction OF the building has
caused a profound sensation in the
city and valley and people are busy
to-day figuring out who held griev-
ance against the contractors who
had the work in hand Up TO late
this afternoon the peace officers have
not intimated that they have selected
any party to place the crime on.
1t is estimated that five thousand
dollars damage has been done the
building and it is possible that the
main walls will have to be taken
| down in order to right the damage.
The trouble it is feared came about
| through some dissatisfaction in la
Dor circles This rlmor is being run
to cover and every clew is being
traced to its source. 1t has caused

Judge l.angan. who recently re-
turned from trip to lerington, and
who has personally inspected the
new building. was shown the tcle-
gram. He was asked ii he know
anything about there being any labor
troblcs ont that WAY or anything
that would lead 10 to such criminal
work. iIe stated in4 reply:
Il am satisfied that there must be
some mistake. There has been no
labor troubles to my knowledge III
Yerington and especially over the
construction OF the splending build
ing. think there must be some
mistake. Some TIME ago complaints )
plants were made by several citi-
zens OF Ycrington that the proper
construction material was not being
used in the building. The building
is cement and steel. and one OF the
most beautiful in the state. The
grand pury was called to investigate
the conditions. Aitcr a very careful
inspection they decided that the con-
tractors were giving all the contract
called ior and were putting up q
splendid building.
While | was there last week, It
was noticed that one side OF the CON
crete wall was sagg,ng The atten-
ton OF the contractors was called te
this. They stated that the cement
had not set properly owing to the
freezing weather, and that they
would remove that portion and re-
place it with new wall. Before !
left they were tearing away the dam
aged section and were to set new
cement.
TO my mind the collapse 'of the
structure was III the form of an ac-
cident and not an explosion. ]
would think that an attempt had
been made to replace the damaged
section with new cement. As it has
been zero weather ont that way the
cement could not set properly and
when the new side went out it has
carried along lot OF other work
This OF course is a personal idea o
the situation, as | cannot believe thai
anyone bears grudge enough to de
liberately destroy such building
There was some little feeling. over
the letting oi the contract. but tina
was only for the time being as -tilt
contractors have been succcsSiu
busines men of Reno and endeavoret

 Don't buy in a careless manner.
 Don't buy in small quantities, if you can avoid it.
 Don't misunderstood cheapness for economy.
 Don't be afraid to carry a bundle, unless you are prepared and willing to stand the expense of having it deliver ed to your home

 Don't re ashamed or too proud to do your own purchasing.
 Don't be afraid of your tra desman:
 Don't leave your shopping till the last minute and then be in hurry.

THE PEACE PACT
IS REPUD|ATED
Looks Now as Though Muscatne
Strike Will be Renewed.
MANUFACTURERS POST NOTICE
They Will Not Recognize Arbitration
Committe and Will Not Dis
charge Non-Union Work
ers for Union Men.

Muscatine, April 19.-Special: The
button manufacturers have repudiat-
ed their agreement of Tuesday and
unless they recede from their posi-
ton taken this morning the strike
will be on again more determinedly
than at any previous time.
The peace pact agreed to and es-
tablished between manufacturers and
union people yesterday was abruptly
broken by the posting of the follow
ing notice this morning by the man.
ufacturers:
$40 all former employees and union
members: Not to be misunderstood,
we are informed that you have told
that we must retain all former EN-
ployes and that no strike-breaker now
employed can be retained, that we
will not employ anyone not mem
Der of the union; we wish to state
that we will not discharge any en-
ployes who have remained loyal to
us during the strike, nor will we dis
place any strike-breaker now work
ing, in favor of union employees; nor
will we request anyone now engaged
in any of our factories to join the
union. Neither will We recognize the
arbitration committees now appoint
ed to treat with us, as these commit
tees do not include representative
of the non-union employees"
The notice caused the widest ex
citement to surge through the ranks
of the button factory employees. II
was also learned by the union people
that a dozen of the smaller cutting
establishments and shops We're not
to be re.opened upon resumption OF
labor and that the closing of these
places would throw six hundred oil
more workers out of employment.
The announcement of the reopenins
of the strike caused State President
A. L. Urick, of the State Federation
of Labor to telegraph to Des MONIES
for the assistance of Labor Commits
sioner Van Duyn, who is expected
here this afternoon.
The strikers will hold mammoutf
mass meeting tonight and rioting Ii
again feared. as the strikers are des
titute and desperate.
