Giant Fireball Seen Over
Most of Oregon, Disclosed
Despite the (act that it dropped
through sunny skies in mid-afternoon,
the big fireball of October
1, now officially known as the
Hunters' meteor, was seen In
nearly every part of the state, ac
cording to Information from Dr.
J. Hugh Pruett, University of
Oregon astronomer. He has re
ceived reports on scores of ob
servations, a considerable number
of them from central Oregon.
Most of the observations were
made by deer hunters, and for
that reason Dr. Pruett has named
the daylight fireball the Hunters'
meteor. Many of the observers
said the fireball was tailed and
that it was silvery in appearance.
One observer In the Burns area
said he heard a roaring noise as
the meteor dropped through the
Oregon sky, at about 3:32 p.m. on
October 1.
When all observations are stu
died. Dr. Pruett will chart the
. course of the fireball through the
October sky and map the points
where It disappeared, or appar
ently plunged to earth. Tentative
reports indicate that the firebul!
burned out over Oram county, in
the John Day area.
The fireball was widely observ
ed west of the Cascades, as well
as In the eastern part of the state.
It was one of the few fireballs
ever seen in the northwest in a
sun-burnished sky. Had it drop
ped into the earth's atmosphere
at night, it would have been a
"grand spectacle," observers concede.

Black Magic
Charges Held
Ridiculous
Eldridge. Calif.. Oct. U '111
The officials who accused Mrs.
Lorene Blackwell of practicing
black magic are staging a "Sa
lem witch hunt," her attorney
charged today.
"Somebody apparently doesn't
like Mrs. Blackwell and started
yelling witch," said Attorney
Charles E. Ureenwleld Jr.
Mrs. Blackwell, 41, appeared
yesterday before a referee from
the state personnel board to deny
the "witch" charge. Dr. Marshall'
E. Porter, superintendent of the
Sonoma state mental home, fired
her September 8 from her Job as
a probationary attendant.
Porter's letter of dismissal'
charged her with "imprudent .
acts" and "unnecessary arousing
and disturbing the patients of ,
McDougal cottage. High grade de-;
linquent cases are housed In the ;
cottage where Mrs. Blackwell I
worked. I
"She kept telling them they i
would have a curse put on them !
and scaring them with different
remarks concerning witchcraft,"
Porter said.
Offered to Resign
Mrs. Blackwell offered, to re
sign, but Potter said he wanted
to fire her so she could not be
emploved at any other institu
tion. "Our first reaction to the re
ports was surprise," Porter said.
"The circumstances were In
deed fantastic. But we verified it
with so many sources that there 1
is no question in our minds.
He said Mrs. Kathleen Kole,
another attendant, quoted Mrs.
Blackwell as saying:
"This is the first night I can
work, and a full moon, this is the
night."
Mrs. Kole said Mrs. Blackwell
hid in the dark and frightened
women patients "by grabbing
them by the shoulder and mak
ing motions of a cross in front
of them."
Mrs. Blackwell also was seen
sprinkling salt around the din
ing room, presumably to ward
off evil spirits. Porter said.
Greenfield denied the charges
of black magic.
"It's just a very black mark
for a very intelligent and very
religious woman," he said. "She
made one of the top grades in the
civil service examination for her
job. She is shocked by the
