George Rhamy of Villisca reports that what appears to be a meteorite fell=
 right in his garden.
The stone, triangular in shape and about 3 1/2 inches long with a base 2 =
inches in length on each side, seared a path through several hills of tom=
atoes, beets, and beans.
The ground was baked around where the stone fell and a sulphur-like odor =
came from the hole it made when Rhamy pulled it up, he reported.
