A stone fell near Pusinsko Selo, ~7 km south of Milena, to a plough-land in a deep valley, to the sight of three day-labourers. They dug out the stone, which pierced into the ground to one-foot (30 cm) depth. The phenomenon herded together a quite a few farm labourers, who dashed the stone to pieces. Some of the fragments were rescued by Dr Koevar physician, Mr Moschel, customs officer and Mr Struppe, manorial inspector.
