BLOWN QUARTER OF MILE
Young Man Takes Shot That
Brings About an Explosion and

Wade S. Ball twenty years OF age,
was literally blown to atoms when he
fired into quantity Of dynamite in
the magazine of historic Fort BOWL
ing at Sabine, Tex. Parts Of Balls
body were scattered over radius OF
quarter of a mile.
Harry Whitley and Robert Crink-
ngbeard, about Balls age, who were
with him at the time, we're knocked
down by the explosion, but escaped
serious injury.
The dynamite, generally estimated
at about two tons, was left in the old
fort at the time of the Spanish Amer
lean war. The harbor at Sabine was
protected with mines and this dyna-
mite was lot Of unused explosive.
explosives. After the war the mines
in the channel we're exploded or de-
stroyed and the dynamite stored in
the fort had been drenched and army
officers tested it, and, being unable to
explode it, they considered it harm
less. During all the time that it has
been stored there the people Of Sabine
have considered it harmless.
Fort Bowling was erected by the
Confederates during the civil war and
was the scene of a memorable fight,
when command Of about fifty Con-
federates under Lieutenant Dick Dow
ling defeated two Uniou man O war
men, capturing one and destroying
the other. Although there were a
number of other vessels in the feder-
al feet off Sabine. the fate Of the two
boats which entered the pass deferred

Downing and his men we're left in com
mand.
Pieces of the timbers we're hurlrd by
the explosion several hundred yards
and driven half their length into the
ground.
Wade Ball was the son Of T. J. Ball,
connected with the Texas and New
Orleaus railway at Sabine.

WAITING UPON HUERTA

In ! sense the Mexican situation
has withdrawn attention from tIieI
Tariff and tic Currency bills,
whose progress if slow, Is steady
and drS2t and in the end, which ~
apparently near, there VIII nave
been accomplished in part, TWO OF
the reforms promised to the people,
preceding the triumph Of the Dem
ocracv in the election Of Woodrow
Wilson for president Of the United
States.
The Mexican situation is I'M
changed: at least it is not ag@re-
waited and apparently is frlnged
with silver Innings, (which are faV-
orable indications that conflict
of armies will be avoided through
the WiIson-Bryan diplomacy.
1t is true that Americans III Mex
leo are criticising the warning OF
President to leave their homes and
possessions. However, this is not
a mandate which is to be obeyed
imperatively. 1t is more advisory and
suggestive. Yet each American IN
the Mexican Republic must govern
his action as he would deem best.
At this time the United States is
waiting on Huerta, who with his
friends and advisors has been fully
impressed with the demands con-
veyed through the Presidents en-
voy, Gov. Lind.
It should be conceded that the de-
mands of President Wilson, requir-
ing among other stipulatlons that
Huerta should resign and not be a
candidate for election for the pres
idency of Mexico is somewhat direct
and imperative, but peace is not
possible with Huerta, who is a
stumbling block and as an obstruc-
ton must be removed and ellmln-
ated. However, this demand, as
bold as it is direct has not been
without its effect on Huerta, a man
of high spirit and dominant will. 1t
is true he has replied catagoricMly
yet considering the attitude OF the
United States he is left completely
on the defensive and at dlsadVan-
tage that he nor his counsellors can
readily overcome It is equally evil
dent that the attitude of the United
States toward Mexico has operated
materially in withdrawing from HUI
erta whatever Influence he possess
ed among the Nations Of Europe,
who justify the plan Of the United
States, as proposed by the Wilson
Bryan diplomacy, to restore peace
in Mexico. In waiting on Huerta,
the United tSates have all to gain
and nothing to lose. 1t, is Huerta
who is gradually entangling himself
beyond any reasonable possibility Of
being extricated from dilemma for
which he is responsible.
In this waiting policy, then, is
practical sense. It were easy to
interpose with force of arms, but
the result at the end 81 a war pro-
tracted several years would not
warrant the sacrifice Of men nor
the horrors of such a conflict.
There is no loss Of prestige nor Of
National dignity waiting on Huerta.
He can not long continue in author
ity with all the agencies Of peace
against him.
