METEOR BURSTS
near COTTON

COTTON, Sept. 30.-With report
like a sharp clap of thunder, follow
ed by rattling sounds like musketry
fire. huge meteor burst over Mount
Slower ten minutes after midnight
this morning, startling the people of
the valley for miles around. Persons
who chanced to be out say they saw
an immense red bar shoot out of the
sky, becoming gradually more brill
liant. and shedding dazzling blue
and white light as it appeared to
strike the mountain and explode and
illuminating the streets so that g
newspaper could easily be read. This
lasted several minutes. Similar re-
ports come from other towns.
Close examination of the round
summit today reveal no great de-
preston, but many signs of grinding
contact with some object, rocks be-
ing broken and scattered in all direc+
tons. The mountain is freak, ris-
ing abruptly from the level plain to
a height OF 500 feet. It is a mile in
diameter and composed entirely Of
cement, lime rock and marble, lime
predominating. The theory is ad-
vanced that the meteor's intense heat
bearing against the lime may have
caused the dazzling illumination.

find her husband, who had left her
several months ago. Everything
went well until after the party had
left the Muddy river, in Nevada.
Then she lost her way.
Caught in sand and rain storms,
the children came down with raging
fevers. The water supply ran low,
and for two days the horses were
without drop of water to drink. In
this plight they headed for Death
valley, where Henry and Paul Nor
rison encountered them. The three
children were delirious and one horse
had died. Stranded thus, the little
party would have perished. They had
gone over 200 miles out OF their way.
Tonight they passed through here on
their way to Los Angeles.

The Circus Passes
30 2t

Robbins Circus gave good
performance before a big crowd
on Moore Field yesterday after
noon, but the night performance
was abandoned on account of a
heavy wind and rain storm which
broke over town, coming in from
the southwest. about six O'Clock,
and the tents were hurriedly pack
ed for moving to the next stoI.-
Front Royal.
Taking all in all, it was good
show, some of the slack and tight
wire performances being the best
ever seen here. The troops of
acrobats were well worth seeing.
the wild animals appeared in ex-
cellent condition, and the big
horses of the show well-groomed
and well-fed.
Mr., Joseph IL. Hughes, the
press agent of the show, informed
us that they had PLAYED for nearly
a week in the rain and mud at the
different stops. and the effects
could be seen upon the costumes
of the performers and the cloth of
the tents.
1t was n good show, and we cy-
press the hope that Berryville will
be placed upon it's regular route
each season hereafter-as this was
its first visit here.
The management attempted
some time ago to rent the Fair
Grounds in Winchester for winter
quarters, but the manager told us
yesterday that the Winchester peo-
pie were so slow in answering
their communication that it was
decided to spend the winter ia
