STUEG TO DEATH.
A Fine Borse Killed by Pesky Yellow
Jackets.

Stung by hundreds OF Venomous
dole insects known as yellow jackets"
a splendid thoroughbred horse died In
few moments in terrible agony near
Brevard, N. O., a few days ago.
A party chsperoned by Mrs. A. S.
Hains, a society woman of Memphis,
Tenn, had gone to Looking Glass
Fslls, beautifully picturesque water
falls, ten miles from this place, to see
the falls. Teams must be left at the
foot Of the mountain ana then half
mile climb over rugged path must
be made. Mrs. Haines's party secure
ly tied their horses and lefl them not
over forty minutes, while they went
to the falls. On their return they
we're astonished to find the finest ami
nsl fallen to the ground moaning and
writhing in agony.
Its entire body was covered with
vicious sting!ng yellow Jackets" an
insect which, unlike the bee, can sting
four OF more times. AS one Of the
party rushed up and attempted TO re-
Iieve the animal it grosned and ex.
olred. Il was afterwards discovered
that the horse had beer httched near
ID unknown nest OF ''yeilow jackets
md, being restless, the buggy wheels
had worked back ovs1 1t, causing the
vicious insects to pour forth In count.
ess numbers and attack the horse.
The Incident Is without precedent
