The Sioux Indians have legend that

an opposing army was put 10 night by a
shower of meteorites. The legend also
explains a layer OF stones found on the
shores OF the Cannon-B Ball river. This
river Is one OF the many streams of the
Muddy. and 1ows near the Standing
Rock agency. Along this stream, at q
distance OF four or five miles from It's
mouth. may be found hundreds and
thousands OF stones OF all sizes. There Is
nothing extraordinary in this. the reader
may think. but the extraordinary part is
not In the presence or the stones. but in
their shapes ana weight. Their sizes
range from a marble 20 that or globes
