METEOR IN COURT |
Peculiar Legal Battle Is on In
Kentucky.

Special to The Globe.
OWINGSvILLE, KY, Sept. 16.-One
of the most peculiar suits ever filed has
been Instituted in the Bath county cir
cult court here. The suit was brought
for the possession of a 300-pound me-
teor which fell on the lands belonging
to the estate of the late F. M. Ewing
Nov. 10. The meteor was found by j.
Hugh Pergram while hunting squir-
rels, and sold To Thomas J. Pergram.
The heirs of the Ewing estate brought
suit against Pergram for possession of
the meteor, alleging that as it fell on
the Ewing lands it rightfully belongs
to them. Pergram has retained coun-
sci and says that he will fight the case
to a finish.
This was the main body of the me-
teor which was seen Nov. Is from
New Orleans to Northern Ohio. Three
pieces fell in this county. One was
purchased by Prof. Henry A. Ward, Of
Rochester, N. Y. and Chicago, for
$500. 1t weighed twelve and three
fourths pounds. A smaller piece
found was sold to the Kentucky state
college. The 300-pound meteor has
been visited by prominent scientists
from many Cities among them being
Prof. Collins, of Pennsylvania; Prof.
Kunz, OF New York city, and Prof.
Harrington, of Field Columbian mu-
scum, Chicago. These gentlemen
made Pergram good offers for the me-
teor, but he refused them all. One
offer was made by an Eastern college
of $4,000, but this, too, was declined.
The suit came as a shock to Pergram,
who was preparing to send the piece
to ST. Louis to be exhibited at the
Worlds fair.
There are only three other cases on
record where suit has been brought
for possession of heavenly body. In
1893 Prof. Ward raised the question in
the case of Goddard vs.. Winchell, re-
ported in sc Iowa, II, and it was held
that the meteorite belonged to the
owner of the land ON which it fell.
Public sentiment in this county is
strongly in favor of Pergram.

HURON, S. D., Sept. 16.-Fully
three-fourths of the corn crop of the
state is beyond injury by frost, and
last nights frost damaged only late
planting. The temperature averaged
26 degrees over the southern, central
and eastern portion of the state, which
include the producing districts.
LINCOLN, Neb, Sept. 16.-Frost in
nearly every part of Nebraska last
night and in the north and western
portions of the state caused consider
able damage. In these sections it was
sufficiently heavy to kill, while in the
eastern and southern portions of the
state the frost was light enough to
help the development of the corn, but
not heavy enough to damage it. The
results therefore are about equalized.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE efforts OF
