Sept. 16. - A large aerolite fell near this village about = 3 p.m. The meteor was first noticed in the northwest and was traveling to= wards the east. It was accompanied by a blinding light and made a noise r= esembling a rocket. When about a mile east of town it burst into three pi= eces apparently about six inches in diameter. Although it fell within a f= ew rods of some workmen, a search failed to reveal any trace of it. As it= fell in the neighborhood of a swamp it would be very difficult to locate= it exactly. Cambridge, O. Sept. 16. Wednesday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. John Carnes, whi= le driving along the Byesville road about 3:30 o'clock were greatly start= led by witnessing the fall of a meteor on the Burt farm. Mr. Carnes repor= ted the occurrence of his arrival here and about 5:30 o'clock Messrs. She= rrard and Stanley drove out. On their return they reported they had located the meteor and as well as = they could judge, it would weigh about 300 pounds. Mr. Carnes said that i= n falling it was in shape of a top, the large end being about two and a h= alf or three feet across, and that when it struck the earth it had spread= out and that small pieces had been broken off. When found by Messrs. She= rrard and Stanley it was still warm and for some distance the grass was s= till burning. They brought a small piece home and it is now on exhibition= at Senhauser's store. Two other meteors were reported, one as having bee= n seen at Pidgeon Gap and the other in Knox township. Note: Meteorites A to Z: Second Edition does not show a fall for this dat= e.
