HUNTING THAT METEOR

The State University is to send out
scientist to hunt for the meteor
which is believed to have fallen in
this part of the state recently. Mean
while, farmer of Pulaski county
brought into Somerset piece of me-
tai which he thought was a piece of
it. A dispatch from Lexington said:
Prof, A M Miller, geologist, at the
University of Kentucky, will at once
institute a search in Bell county for
a meteorite believed to have fallen
in that county ten days ago One
man reports that he was. the meteor
burst in three pieces and then saw a
great column of smoke. The meteor
is also being looked for in Pulaski
county. The Somerset Journal says:
w. Fl. Morgan, prosperous citizen
of near Sawyer, KY, came to Somer-
set Monday having in his possession
a piece of metal which he claimed
was portion of the great meteor
that passed oevr this vicinity last
Wednesday at the noon hour and ex-
ploded near where he lived. It is
claimed that many have picked up
pieces of the substance of the meteor
in the vinicity where this was found.
The pieces exhibited at this office,
and which we have here for inspection
of those VIII owish, resembles a kind
of stone and also reveals the fact
that it has come from the presence
of fire. Come in and see it.

turned from Whitley county and

H. Okey, an experienced oil man
of Ohio, who obtained 5000 acres

Worrell says that 81 years ago he
saw the first oil taken out of the
Estill field, but at that time there
was no market for the black oil
and the field development did not
come till later. He also went first
into the Lee and Lincoln fields,
and obtained valuable leases for
promoters, getting but little out
