VIRGINIA.!
Cattle Rushed Into the Bay

Richmond, Va, June 1.-(Special. IAN
unusual phenomena in the waters OF the
Chesapeake bay on Saturday stampeded
many cattle which were grazing on the
marshes In Matthews county, with the re-
suit that they swan into the bay ana
were drowned. Herds Of cattle are turned
on the luxurious growth that abounds.
On Saturday the high wind caused an
unusual high tide, which submerged most
OF the pasture land and cut the cattle OH
from the main land. This would have oc-
casioned no trouble usually. for the marsh
cattle are not afraid of water and swim
with ease, but there was phosphorescent
glow to the water that SO frightened and
confused the beasts that they lost their
discretion, and many swan out into the
bay and We're drowned. One farmer lost
thirty-hve head in this way.
