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.=20



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