Fairfield, June IA most unusual
cause Of fatality among cattle hak
been found on the ranch Of Miss
Louise Pope In the Lake Basin coun-
try. west Of here. It Is an accuma-
latIon Of sand In the digestive organs
Of the animal. Miss Pope has during
the past year lost five or six head Of
valuable stock with what appeared to
be a arrangement Of the digestive
organs. One day last week 2-year
old steer was so afflicted that a
neighbor called in a state veterinar-
ian. In the meantime the steer haa
died and postmortem examination
disclosed a great accumulation Of
sand in the paunch-"a hatfuI of
sandg a. the neighbor put IL The
trouble Is ascribed 10 the fact that
the cattle had been drinking out Of
shallow water holes in which they
had at the same time waddIed, and
that the cattle had sucked up the
sand with the water. II Is thought
that the other cattle died Of the same
cause.
