An immense meteortie fell about fifty miles southeast of Fort Assinaboine= , Arizona, on the night of the 10th inst., its glare lighting the country= for many miles around. Four minutes after striking the earth the report = was heard in Assinaboine, sounding like the discharge of a heavy-gun, and= the earth was perceptibly shaken. The shock was also felt at Fort Benton= and the coal banks, nearly one hundred miles south. The meteorite has no= t yet been found. Mark Bostick note: Fort Assinaboine and Fort Benton are both in Montana a= nd not Arizona, this appears to be a newspaper error. Also, I could find = no recovered meteorite that fell in Montana (or anywhere else) during tha= t date.
