PERHAPS BIGGER THAN PEARY's

Boise, Idaho, February IA report
reaches here of the falling OF monster
meteor near Dubois. The aerolite fell in
an immense sand butte and was followed
by shower of meteoric stones. The
shock was felt for radius of 20 miles
and the people thought it an earthquake,
A party of sheepmen came in next day
and explained the phenomenon. They
said James Turner, stockman, was not
great distance from the spot where the
meteor fell and that he was so badly
shocked that he is in a semi-conscious
state and it is feared his mind is affected,
An effort will be made to dig up parts Of
the meteor in the interest of science.
