METEORS EXPLODES AND ROCKS EARTH
Richmond, Va., May 12 - With a detonation that was heard forty miles away=
, a meteor appeared to fall to earth some distance north of Lawrence at a=
buot 11:15 last (night), according to reports reaching here. The phenomen=
on was said to have rocked the earth not unlike an earthquake, shaking ho=
uses and awakening residents of Lawrenceville. The countryside for miles =
around, it was said, was lighted up as bright as midday, and the meteor e=
mitted a swishing sound as it hurled through space.
Reports reaching Norfork said the meteor exploded with a force that shook=
 houses and broke windows in and around that comunity. The flash of the m=
eteor was plainily seen at Norfork, 100 miles each of where it is estimat=
ed to have fallen.
