ARIZONA STARTLED BY COMET,

NebuIous Body With Flowing Tail
Plainly Seen at Sunset.
Douglas, Arizona, Jan. 24.-Without
being heralded, there appeared in the
western horizon just before dusk this
evening, spectacle such as none in
these parts had ever before witnessed.
1t was nothing more nor less than a
magnificent comet, or a body having
all the appearances of one, with nu-
cleus, coma and a great tail. The
word was quickly passed around and
soon the whole city was out viewing
the beautiful spectacle. At first it
was supposed as matter of course it
was Halley's comet, though this is rot
expected until April, but word from
Professor Douglas, astronomer at the
state university at Tucson, is that the
stranger is distinct from Halley's.
The same word also comes to the Dis
patch here from Flagstaff university,
in Northern Arizona.
The wonder of the spectacle was it,
completeness and its appearance with
out any warning just after sunset
Douglas is about 1000 feet above
the sea and has wonderfully clear at
mosphere. No comet like this one has
ever before been seen in this section.
