Fort WORTH, TEXAS April 16-A dispatch from
Williams Ranch says that about O'Clock sunday
morning great meteor fell In the outskirts OF the
town, killing several head Of cattle and destroy
ing the dwelling house OF Martinez Garcia, a Mex
lean herdsman, who, with his family, consisting
OF wife and five children, are buried beneath the
ruins. In its descent the meteor resembled a
massive ball OF fire, and the shock was similar to
that OF an earthquake. 1t is still hot and steam
Ing. 1t is 1mbedded In the earth probably 100
feet and towers above the surface about 20 feet,
and Will cover about one acre OF ground. The
concussion was terrific, nearly every window In
the town being shattered. People were hurled
violently from their beds and goods In the store
houses were thrown from the shelves No lives
We're lost as far as known, except the Mexican
herdsmsn @ and his family, although several build
lngS fell to the ground. The cattle fled In terror
IN every direction. The air was filled with a sui
phurouS gas. The widest confusion prevailed, as
1t was a long time before ybody could even con-
lecture what 1t was This Is the largest meteor
that has ever fallen, and 1t has aheady been Wis
lted by many people, and WILL doubtless continue
to attract great attention for months TO come. II
has occaSioned great excitement, not only here
but all over the surrounding country.
