VIRGINIA/
Cattle Rushed Into the Bay.
Richmond, Va.. June I.—(Special.)—An
unusual Phenomena In the waters of the

many cattle which were grazing on the
marshes In Matthews county, with the re
sult that they swam Into the bay and

on the luxurious growth that abounds.

of the pasture land and cut the cattle off
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 a phosphorescent
glow to the water that so frightened and
confused the beasts that they lost their
discretion, and many swam out into the
bnj’ and were drowned. One farmer lost
thirty-live head in this way.

Judge Redwine Charges the Jury at
Jackson. Ky.—He Dwells on the
Many Crimes That Have
Been Committed in
Breathitt County.
Jackson. K? June 1. -When the i egu
lar term of circuit, court convened with
Judge Redwine on the bench. Sheriff • 'al
lahan and five deputies were sworn in.
The twenty men Summoned for the regu
lar grand jury were called and only nine
responded. The other places were filled
bv slanders summoned by ('allahtin.
Judge Redwine, tn Instructing the grand
jury, said Breathitt county was full 'f
crime and has had few convictions. He
“I have never believed that, homicides
should be tried by a. jury from the vi
cinity of the crime, but it is the law,
and that, must be followed.
“There has been but one hanging In
tho history of Breathitt county out of
the many trials for murder. There are
some cases in this court that I will not
risk with a Breathitt county jury, but
will go outside for jurors."
Judge Redwine undoubtedly referred to
the Jett and AVhite cas.'S. He made a
strong plea, for the jury to stop the sell
ing of whisky and carrying of concealed
weapons as wed as greater crimes.
“There is enough crime in this county
to hold court the year round and then
not convict all amenable to law. This
jury may be called upon to further in
vestigate the cases in which indictments
were found last w* "k by a sp* cial grand
Jury.”
The judge advised the jurors, especially
In wlilsky cases, to write out the evidence
of witnesses and have them sign the tes
timony and file it with the indictments.
When the petit jurors were called, 22
responded, and Sheriff Callahan sum
moned two bystanders to complete the
panel.
A great commitlon was created m the
court room by the accidental discharge
of the rifle of a sentry outside tlie court
bouse, who was loading his gun pt’epai'a
tory to going on duty. Tho bullet struck
the wall of the court house without in
iuring anv one. ( olonel \\ iili.ams im

order and the charges of illegal liquor
selling were first taken up. The Jett
and White cases come up lat< r.

and ’lie term of Elisor Charles J. Little

he and tho defense had failed to agree
on another elisor in die Jett, and White
cases and notified the court that he
would file a petition to have tho cases
