tot he country where a large dynamite stock was stored.

     Sterling, Colo., Aug. 8. - (AP) - Across the skies north of Sterling 
this morning residents viewed a silvery meteor that seemed to fall just over 
the horizon, where a puff of smoke marked its disappearance.
Like Silver
    The celestial visitor, said those who were fortunate enough to observe 
it, shone like silver and left a trail of smoke as it passed. It moved from 
north to south.
