Wash Wakeman, the veteran apiarist
of North FORK, Demoans the loss of his
I bees, which unfortunate mishap occur
red lately in this wise: y COW got into
/ his garden and in roofing around the
| boxes turned the hives over, thus ex-
posing the honey-makers to the cold air,
and before MIR. Wakeman discovered
what the COW had done they had per-
ishel So far as we are aware, they
were the only bees in the White River
valley, and Mr. Wakemen'S success
was such that we have often wondered
why others didn't follow his example.
He brought them in about three years
ago aud although he gave them pTacti-
cally no attention, they did well, and
gave undisputabie evidence of the fact
that this is an excellent bee country.
Last Tuesday an exciting runaway

lieb to call them ran around two or
three blocks aud were finally captured
Just a block from where they started.
\ HERALD reporter arrived early at
the scene of excitement and on inquiry
found that the prime cause of the acct
dent was rs follows, which, we give III
the unique but rather unpoetic vernac-
ular of Gotlieb: "Himmei grelz-gewit-
ter-donnerwctter-u !"
