Meteor Strikes Ground Close to Farmer And Team
Edgeley, N.D., July 11.—R. Drenth, farmer residing near Deisem, narrowly escaped death when a meteor struck in the road immediately behind his buggy while he was driving three miles west of Deisem. Mr. Drenth, attracted by the unusually bright light, it being late in the evening, turned to see he {sp} flaming mass coming toward him, on an angle of about 40 feet from the ground. Then there was a heavy thud behind him, and the earth trembled. Mr. Drenth was uninjured, but for the fact that he urged the horse forward when he noticed the approaching missle {sp}, he would have been directly under.
Neighbors went to the scene the next morning, and found a mound not unlike a volcano in appearance, coated with a white, crusty formation, samples of which were taken for analysis. It has been estimated that the meteor was at least ten feet long, and four to five feet wide.
Hundreds of people have viewed the mound in the past few days.

"Carter and Carver" is the title of a little tragedy that was performed last evening on the corner of Fourth srteet {sp} and Kelly avenue the chief scenic effect being a knife, which was drawn across the back of one of the men cutting a gash from side to side, but not deep enough to be serious. The carver and Carver is his name landed in the tombs, while the fellow, who carted away a badly lacerated back was Carter. It was a production true to name the final scene being enacted in court this morning, resulting in a fine. Both men were employed as waiters in the city.
