METEOR ALARMS ALL WINNEMUCCA
WINNEMUCCA, Aug. 12. - (Special to the Gazette.) - A big explosion, that =
awakened people here and shook frame houses, arroused the city at 1:45 o'=
clock this morning and caused considerable speculation as to its cause.
It is now believed that a meteor fell near here and when the burning mass=
 struck the earth that it exploded.
Several young people, returning from a dance at Golconda, saw a meteor fa=
ll and were frightened. They said they thought it struck the earth a mikl=
e or two north of Winnemucca. J. A. Wolgamat, Orovada rancher, who was ca=
mping near Paradise Hill, saw the spectacle and says it struck near Winne=
mucca.
A large number of meteors were observed during the night and about fiftte=
en minutes before the explosion a very large and bright one was seen to f=
all apparently burning until it struck the earth north of town.
Several parties are conducting a search today for the meteor.
