THE AIRSHIP HABIT REVIVED

Law People Again See Strange Lights on Dark Nights

DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 22. (Special)

Information comes from Colfax and Kellogg in Jasper County that there has been a revival of the airship-seeing habit which became epidemic in Iowa at one time last year. The latest report of seeing an airship is by a telegraph operator at Kellogg, who says he saw it at 11 o'clock at night. It was very high and traveling rapidly toward the northwest. It carried a bright bluish light.

The operator at Kellogg informed the operator at Colfax what he saw and asked him to look out for it. The latter immediately notified the people who were in the depot, and some of them claim to have seen the airship. Some of the observers who saw the airship saw the one that traversed the country last spring, and they believe it's possible that the inventor has been hiding during the summer, putting improvements on the machine and making it more perfect, and that he has started out for another tour of the country.
