Copper Ridge, Russell county, by the
arrest of Bill Baker. an illicit distill
er, for the murder, four years ago. of
an old man by the name of Brackett,
and the murder would, in all proba
bility, have remained secret forever
but for the statement of woman
who thought sbe was on her dying
bed. She was the only living wit
ness.
Baker was indicted for illicit dis
tilling four years ago and taken to
Abingdon for trial before the United
States Court. The triul was post
poned and the prisoner released on
bond. Old man Brackett was the
principal witness against him, and
was on hand ready to testify at the
trial
INVITED TO HIS HOME.
When Baker started home that
night he asked Bracket to go with
him and spend the night. The un
suspecting old man did so, aud the
world never saw him again.

BRILLIANT.

On the night of February l, about
1920 o'clock, bright meteor shot up
over Western Nevada aud Eastern
California. illuminating the heavens
for space of several seconds. The
illumination was followed by a low
rumbling and shock, as if by eartl,
quake. It has now been ascertaiued
that the meteor struck about five
miles from railway station called
.Candolaria, in Esmeralda county,
about 14O miles from Carson.
People there who saw the meteor
described it as an immense body of
fire, with tnil like comet AS it
rushed through the air it made o
noise like the sourd of sky rocket
just as it starts upward. At Cando-
laria many people were greutly alarm
ed at the sodden appearance of a
great ball of fire, Suddenly 1t seem.
ed to burst in the air, aud then the
light disappeared. Then came a
strange rumbling noise, aud also q
shaking of the earth. The report is
that houses in Candolaria were shak-
en- as il by an earthquake. 1t was
soon learned that the commotion was
cnused by the meteor.
People made wild estimates OF the
weight of the meteor, some in their
excitement saying it must have weigh
ed 100000 tons to cause such n shak
ing of the earth. Friday morning n
party WAS organized and started in
