SECOND GAME OF HOME SEA-
SON TO BE PLAYED FRIDAY

The last game the high schoo
team will play at home before No
vember will be against Minneapo
lis Friday afternoon at $3.50, at the
fair grounds. The boys had nj
game last Friday and are in fine
condition for the mixup. Minneapo
lis has a heavy and at the same
time fast bunch of players, and the
orange and brown" boys are going
to have to fight hard to get away
with the big end of the score.
M. H. S. defeated the Dickinson
county highs last Friday 10 to 6
but 81 to 0 would have been a
more comparative score. Dickinson
did not lose a game last year and
have some men back this year that
played last, so according to all
laws of dope Abilene is going to be
compelled to put up a stiff. game
Friday. Minneapolis has four If
last years men on their team.
Judge for yourself the possibili-
ties of good game, remembering
that Abilene won her first game,
and come out Friday and see some
classy football.

METEOR SEEN HERE sATUR-
DAY EXPLODED AT PRATT

The report comes from Pratt
telling of the meteor coming to
earth there which is probably the
same one that was seen by many
Abilene people Saturday evening in
the southwest sky. 1t appeared here
only for an instant, and lighted the
whole southwestern heavens.
Pratt is directly southwest of
Abilene and there is time coinci-
dence. 80 1t was very likely the same
body that was seen both places.
This is the period Of the year for
falling satellites and Saturday ev-
ening many other large shooting
stars were seen.
Pratt, Oct. 4.-Pratt was visited
by a meteor late Saturday night,
which exploded about 100 feet
above the ground near the Rock Is
land and Anthony & Northern de-
pots. A train was due at the time
the meteor fell and many saw the
brilliant sight.
A sizzling noise was heard and
the city was lighted up as bright as
day for an instant and then the ex-
plosion came. Small fragments of
the sky visitor were said to have
been found Sunday by curiosity
seekers. Those who saw the meteor
say it was two feet through and
when it exploded some small pieces
could be seen after they hit the
earth.
