Meteor Falls
 In Arizona

Winslow, Holbrook and country sd . jacent for & rajius Of over thirty miles were thrown into a state of excitement Saturday evening last that bordered close on to A stste of panic when a meteor passed over that country and exploded at a heght estimated at from l 900 to 300 feet.
 F.. $. Clark, the attorney, who re- turned from attending court at Hol- brook gave an interesting account uf the phenomen. It was the strongest ever witnessed in that country ard not alone created excitement but oc casioned many to become SO slarmed
 hat wild stsmpede followed.
 MT. Clark states that the meteor vas seen approaching from the north- we.t at about 6:I5 o'clock in the even ing, and when il had reached 6 point about seven miles southeast of Hoi- brook and over the little station oi Aztec on the santa Fe railroad, it entered rain cloud, when 6 terrific explosion followed. The detons'ion was felt distinctly at Concho, forty miles to the east, and at Pine Dale, fifty miles to the south and in both settlements occasioned alarm.
 After the first explosion vast cloud Of smoke or vapor arose in the heavens and gradually passed away. Where the meteor struck the earth at Aztec, the section foreman snd his helpers gathered oyer POO pounds of the maurice, the largest fragment weighing i5 pounds. The substsnce recovered is dissimilsr in character and was foreign to miDerslogv iu cons struction as obsery,d in mining in this country.
