Charley bergstrom was up from
Hudson Saturday and gave Banker
IOverseth and the writer a vivid de-
scription OF his encounter with a
bunch Of angry bees which his team
ran over in the clover field. The bees
attacked him and his team viciously.
The team ran away while Charley
was scraping bees from his neck In
handfulls. Frank Cable was behind
Charley and he came in for a share of
the trouble, his team running away
also. Mr.. Bergstrom says it was the
stingingist time of his life and it
took a pile Of soda to reduce the swell
ling. Frank Gable rounded up all the
bees In a sting proof suit and buried
them in the creek. Mr.. Bergstrom's
face and neck show no signs now of
the poison but he says he wasn't very
handsome for a few days after the
attack.
Company E. Fourth regiment, Capt.
Ed. Berg, commanding, with Lieu
tenants Way and Eneboe, left for
the state encampment neal Water
town last Saturday. The boys looked
fine and were in high spirits, which
made some of the civil war veterans
recall days of long ago when they
wer, boys marching of to war. Cap
tain Berg, himself a veteran of the
Philippine campaign, has a company
of splendid young men, many of them
not voters, but 1t takes boys to make
good soldiers, and there Is no exper-
ience In life that gives q boy more self
reliance than service as a soldier. At
home he is a boy. In camp with q gun
on his shoulder he is a man. Co.
e Is M of the best In the state be-
cause the officers are good discipline
rians and strict discipline makes
the soldier.
