Arkansas Town Much Flustered Over a Strange Aerial Voyager Espied in the Offing
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 16. –- A special to the Gazette from Paragould, Ark., says: A large airship, carrying three or four passengers, and a powerful headlight of some sort, passed over Paragould last evening, appearing from the north and headed south. The airship was about 1,000 feet high and carried a brilliant light. Thousands saw the air craft, which appeared to pause while passing over the southern part of the city and to circle about. The airship, to all appearances, was a dirigible balloon and under perfect control. No signals were given out from the ship.
