Metoric Rock Burst Shocks Farming Town Near Tacoma
A dramatic meteor rock explosion Monday night near a small farming center four miles from Tacoma caused a loud boom at about eight o clock and an hour of a hot lagoon eruption. The blast, from a five thousand meter object, shattered crockery three miles away and stirred residents to fear the end of the world. Ten hours later the lagoon waters sprang, seethed, and remained hot enough to cook eggs as workers dragged the area seeking the celestial messenger believed buried beneath. News notes also report frost damage to orchards at Morley Creek and Pendleton, flax experiments on reservations, a disappointing potato shipment, and local business notices including machinery repairs and a June wedding announcement.
