Remarkable Meteors Reported in Iowa and Minnesota
A meteor about the size of a football passed over Washington Miny May 1 and exploded near the town with a blast like a 300 pounder. It created a strong concussion and a visible ball of fire with a vapor tail. A second meteor appeared May 11 near Lexington Iowa at 4 45 pm with blue and yellow flames and a rapid descent, exploding before the horizon with a smoke trail visible for minutes and a double explosion heard in Storm Lake. A humorous note tells of two Irishmen on Derby Day who drink no more than their agreed share, but end up with only three pence between them after paying for each dram.
