LARGE METEORITE FALLS NEAR ATLIN
Three Dogs Are Killed On the Trail and Driver Is Stunned
DAWSON, Dec. 12. - One of the strangest accidents recorded in this distri=
ct occurred Saturday when a monster meteorite fell on the Yukon telegraph=
 line, near Nahlin, south of Atlin, and killed three dogs being driven by=
 Lineman Andy Johnson, and stunning Johnson so severely that he failed to=
 regain consciousness for hours. Johnson was traveling about fifty feet b=
ehind the sled. The meteorite made a hole in the earth fifty feet in diam=
eter. The wire was broken and appeared to have been subjected to a terrif=
ic heat. Johnson has apparently entirely recovered.
