DECATUR, Ind, Aug. ia valuable
horse owned by j. w. Wolford, near this
city, was killed in a very peculiar manner
Friday. The horse was tied to the edge of
a grove and was attacked by a nest of
humble bees, which had been stirred up.
The owner was away a distance and the
noise of the animal attracted his attention.
Wolford, when he reached the animal, saw
it nearly covered with the insects. The
horse was nearly eXhaUsted by its efforts
TO get away. 1t was cut loose and when
freed made for the river near the woods.
1t leaped over a fence and ran into the
middle of the stream, then lay down. With
great effort the animal was brought to the
land and then the stings of the insects
commenced TO swell. The horse became
frantic and lived but two hours after being
attacked by bees. 1t was valued at 800.
