METEORITE WRECKS DWELLING

Tears Away Part of Upper Story and Buires itself in the Ground

Crescent, Ill. Nov. 16. - By the falling of an aerolite seven miles south of Crescent City the residence of John Meyers was partially wrecked and the neighborhood was panic-stricken.

The meteor came from a point in the sky a little east of south and struck the north end of the house, tearing away at part of the upper story. The aerolite buried itself in the ground about three feet from the foundation of the house.

 

Newspaper also has reports of the Leonids shower the same day (Nov. 16).
