METEOR FRIGHTENS NATIVES

    BOHOL, Philippines, - A huge meteor roaring through the heavens by night
and exploding with a tremendous detonation terrorized the inhabitants of
Bohol.
    Following the explosion, which was like a tremendous thunderclap, the
entire province was lighted up by a great flare.
    The meteor fell behind some mountains and searching parties have started
to look for the exact spot. This was the third meteor whose fall in the
Philippines has been recorded.
