Old timers relate the story
thus:
About 10 years ago, toward
dusk of a summer's day a loud
hissing was heard, and gazing
skyward folk, beneid wnat ap
peared to be a ball of fire rush
ing through the air. It hit the
ground and ploughed along for
a space, finally going Into the
hillside on the old J. Smith ranch
near Sublimity.
A group of men' and a team of
horses were used to drag it from
the hole it had made, and six
men were needed to set It on end.
By tugging, pulling and pushing,
the men and the horses managed
to get the heavy stone into an
oak grove nearer the home. Here,
for years, the curious came to
gaze and try in vain to chip off
souvenirs.

have it moved to his farm. It
has been there ever since.

that a short piece of road near

Blasting abutments of the old
bridge preparatory to erection of
a new highway bridge across
Thomas creek on Main street in

grocery store was Jarred, from
the sash a few days' ago. The
