MAMMOTH METEOR FELL AT PRESCOTT
WEIGHT ESTIMATED AT EIGHT
 THOUSAND TONS-IT IS FORTY SEVEN FEET LONG AND HALF THE WIDTH-DEPTH UNKNOWN.

The world s greatest meteor, if sta. tistics are to be considered, found a home in the Jerome mining district last week. The Jerome Belt says of it;
 'The weight of the Jerome meteor is largely problematcal, but eight thou sand tons would not be q wild guess It is forty-seven feet long and holi that wide, with an undeveloped depth
 1.-The hole made in the earth by the impact of this meteor is something tc be maryeled at The depression has g general resemblance to a crater, and s superficial glance conveys the impress sion that it is really the crater of g volcano which became extinct ages ago Biologists, however, will observe that the rim around the erater.like depres sion is not composed of volcanic out pourings. The hole is found to pene. trate from forty to eighty feet of red sandstone. then from two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty feet of yellowish limestone, then light gray sandstone, and finally brownstone in which it terminates.

THIEVES FOLLOW
 A PRESCOTT MAN
HAD ss,OOo IN HIS POSSESSION AND WAS sHADowED IN PHoE- NIX-A PECULIAR CHAIN OF IN CIDENTS IN THIS CASE.

PHOENIX, Ariz.; November 2.-Con- iident that he is being pursued by thieves who are trying to rob him of $3,000 which they think he has in his possession, M. Anderson has enlisted the efforts of the city police to locate the men and place them under arrest
 Anderson arrived here recently from Yavapai county with 5000 which he obtained from the sale of mining claims in the northern part of Arizona. This he prudently placed in the bank almost as soon as he reached town, but he mentioned the fact of his having town, and it is supposed that the state ment reached the ears of some person or persons who could use the money and were not very particular about the method of acquiring it.
 At any rate, as he was walking past the old Gibson stables Monday night on his way to his room at the Jefferson lodging house on East Jefferson street, two men emerged from the shadow of a high adobe wall, evidently with the idea of aeeosting Anderson. But he had his wits with him and told them to be on their way or he would use his personal influence to that end. They according ly disappeared.
 It is supposed, however, that they followed him home, for that night the room adjoining Anderson 8 was entered and a pair of trousers was stolen from it. Tuesday night, another room in close proximity to that occupied by An. derson was broken into by thieves and a pocketbook, containing a small sum of money, was taken. One of the burglars was seen immediately after the act and is described as being large, heavy-set man, although it was too dark to dis tinguish his features accurately.
 The police have thus far been un. able to locate this man or to duplicate others in the robbery, and the descrip- tion furnished is rather too meager to admit of much hope of effecting cap ture. Anderson himself is not worry. ing particularly about the affair since his money is safely deposited where thieves do not break through and steal but he does not dislike the obvious i'm putation that he is so lacking in busi ness sense as to carry so large sum of money around upon his person.

MANITOU, Colo, November Eff the brown bear that limped to its den in the mountains yesterday after being routed by an Arkansas razorback hog will call at the ranch of Grove brothers it will find it's antagonist dying from its wounds.
 The bear crept up to the hog yes terday and seized it by its leg. The hog turned on the bear, and for half an hour there was fierce battle. Both animals were gashed and gory when they fell down from exhaustion. After a brief rest the bear limped away to its den, the hog rising and watching it's departure.
 The owners of the hog, who witnessed the fight, are doing all they can for the animal, but believe it will die.
