Maj. Thes. Hayes, of LOUISVILLE,
Ky., with q party of friends camp.
ing near Halls ranch. Arizona, tells
of . mighty meteor which struck the
earth about two miles north of their
camp Sunday night about 9 o'clock.
The Maj. says the concussion was
terrible, tho earth treubled and the
noise was like that of many cannons
fired simultaneously. The air for
miles around was filed with sui.
phurous gas, and the meteor came
down red hot and smoking. The
decent of the meteor was the most
brilliant, grand and we.inspiring
sight ever witnessed, said the Maj.
1t was simply beyond the power of
tongue or pen to accurately describe
it. The heat from the meteor was so
intense it will be several days before
the place it struck can be examined
The hole it made in the earth covers
about two acres and the meteor ia
EMBEDDED many hundreds Of feet in
the earth. A Mexican hsrder, his
wife and three children to e.gether
with 1,200 sheep in range of the
meteor went down under the mighty
mass and were buried.

this year. The prospects were SO
gloomy at that time that Johns
friends, who swap stale jokes and
tobacco with him in the rear of the
P. o, gave him the "horse laugh"
But after Mr.. Bryan's triumphal
journey into the enemy's country, he
could afford to have another dream,
and this time he is given respectful
attention. The full story Of Mr.. Dun
