V alues in Four Price Fields So far as known, no one in Timâ€" mins noted the incident in the sky. So here there is no lining up of opinâ€" ion on one side or the other, as to whether it was a meteor or a falling airship. It is an odd fact that no one information may later be used to loâ€" ‘ate the fallen material whatever it may be. _ Popular opinion, however, now favours the theory that it could not be other than a meteor. Around| Dane, however, the burning airplane hohef nersisted. _ In â€" conversation with the North Bay Nugget, C. A. Coâ€" vey, station agent at Dane, said that several persons had seen the supposâ€" ed falling plane. C. A. Poynton, a Toronto mining engineer, stated that he had taken a bearing on the flamâ€" ing mass as it fell and concluded that| the spot w here it came to earth w ould| be about 20 degrees east of north, as| shown on a map of the Kirkland Lake area. When the attention of one Cobalt man was called to the theory of the airplane on fire, he said, “Ifl that was a burning airplane, I’ll eat it for you when you find it.‘ He would find the meteor equally indiâ€" eestible if he tried to consume it as suegested by his words.. Around â€" New â€" Liskeard, â€" where several saw the ‘‘"mass of fire"‘ in the sky, it is taken for granted that it was a falling meteor. The New Iisâ€" keard Spesker gives the following brief reference to it:â€"‘‘An exceedâ€" ingly large meteor seintillated across the sky Monday evening, and was seen by several living near New Lisâ€" keard. Some saw but the smoky tail disappearing. _ But apparently very few saw it at all."‘ theory that the ball down towards the ea ship that had taken fire son for discarding the was the fact that engqu there where i1impré ships missing in that service. were also no other airplanes at the present time to be oper the North, except those tha be accounted for.
