A story of this kind without good local authority IS not apt to be believed But here is dead ringer for it, told by Deputy Sheriff Charles Slankard. whom everybody believes, and which is attessed by Captain Fly McDonald.

Slankard said that several years ago while living in California he helped take a band of about 800 head of horses across the Tule river. which at that time was very low, the water at the ford being perhaps not more than four or five inches deep. IL was filled with suckers which were strug- gling up stream. The mass of fish was so dense that tie backs of thousands were out Of the water at the point of crossing. They were trampled upon by the horses and so many were killed that the river was effectuaIiy damned by dead fish at that point This episode was followed by great deal of sickness in that community, probably caused by the decaying fish.
