The Latest Fish Story.
Virgilina, Va., July 1, j(J14.
To day Dennis Ogary saw the lat4
est results of a half of lightning-iif
Aarotis Creek in Halifax' County
Va.. about seven miles north of
here. A wagon load of fish "came
iioating down the creek. He did
not state the size of wagon. Many
of these fish were dead and aj
were helpless, some of them vould
rise to the surface, and - gasp as if
Air. Ogary thinks the lightning
struck the water with sufficient
force to stun the fish, and they
floated helplessly down the stream.
Your humble servant thought
water is a good conductor, and no
harm could come to fish by lightn
ing. Perhaps some electrician can
throw light upon this strange
freak of nature. W. T. Swanson.
