METEOR EVIDENCE Agree on Light Flashing in Sky, but Fail to Find Where It Struck. By the Associated Press. LEWISTON, Idaho, December 20.— ! Expert opinfon was divided today as to | whether residents of a dozen towns in | Northern Idaho could ever prove & areteor struck in the area Christmas eve. Hundreds of persons agreed & mys- terious light flashed across the sky about 9:45 o'clock Wednesday night and that it was followed by an explo- | sion resembling the detonation of a| monster shell. But concrete evidence | was lacking. | Dr. O. J. Moorehead of Kendrick, | Idaho, an amateur astronomer, sald he was certain the meteor, if it was a meteor, exploded in the air. He watched | its flery course, he said, and the light grew dim as it neared the horizon. Just before the explosion, other wit-| nesses said, the flare seemed to split into four parts, as if it had divided in the sky. Prof. F. B. Laney of the University | of Idaho, on the other hand, said he believed a meteor hit the earth, prob- ably 20 or 30 miles southeast of Mos- cow, at which the university is located. He sald telephone company wire crews had been instructed to watch for the crater. Prof. Laney sald the aerial visitor probably originated in the constellation Andromeda and, if discovered, would be found to contain many minerals. Monuments to Czarists Doomed.
