TEN at Twin Falls, Idaho, few days
ago, when a lusty swarm accomplished
what the national congress, James J.
Hill and other well-organized agencies
have failed to do.
E. R. Ferguson, travelling sales
man of Chicago, who was an eyewit-
ness. brought the story to Spokane.
He said in describing the incident:
Tin dishpans, tam-tams, whistles
and other recognized lures failed to
dislodge the swarm, which had settled
in the spout of the standpipe at the
water tank where a long train of
freight cars stood on the main line
without sufficient water in the boiler
of the big mogul to pull out. The
driver and fireman did excellent team
work in trying to reach the pipe, but
the bees gave them short shift and
the men refused to make the second
attempt.
III. A. Swab, an expert on bee lore,
bore down upon the scene to capture
the swarm. He was armed with a
nail keg and two long sticks. He sent
his helper to coax the bees into the
key, but in less than six seconds the
assailant had score of active bees
up his sleeves, and he made a dash
toward the railway station. Swab also
remembered he had an important bust
ness engagement elsewhere.
The firemen and members of the
section crew were next routed, and
when the engineer appealed to Agent
Sullivan that worthy declared it was
matter for the maintenance of way
department. The conductor of the
stalled train suggested sending for
the sheriff, while the stoker insisted
on calling out the fire brigade. The
brakeman on the front end offered no
solution, as he was nursing dozen
or more knobs of the size of mature
hickory nuts on face, hands and body.
Finally bystander prescribed the
water cure, adding: If that doesnt
drive EN- away nothing will
"a well-directed stream from a gar
den hose seemed to have a quoting
effect. and the pipe was lowered to
the intake on the tender and the tank
| filed with bees and water.
While replacing the pipe the FIRE
man was attacked by several stray
/ glers, and to protect himself from
further onslaught he tied a red ban
danna handkerchief around his head
After raising the spout he tucked the
handkerchief into his pocket and &C
I cepted the congratulations of the on
lockers upon his escape, but while
hopping his face a vagrant bee
winged its way out of the folds OF the
bandanna and stung him on the lip.
After the excitement with the bees
two small boys climbed to the roo
of the water tank and with bare hands
captured the queen, placing her in the
bottom of the key, into which the bees
quickly swarmed. Swab bought thu
