FRESNO. Cal. Aug. l.-Information re-

greatly exaggerated.
The cattle are thin in many parts Of
the district but few have died from lack
OF wafer or feed. On the Kings and lower
San joaquin rivers many head of stock
are dying from swamp fever.
This is caused by the animals drinking
water from stagnant pools. Several hun
