That hornets and horses will not mix
was shown at picnic held at Mineral
Springs, Bartholomew County, when
Charles Dinkins, a farmer, hitched his
horse to tree and prepared to enjoy
the picnic. In a little while the horse
became frightened, broke loose and
ran away. The animal made a dash
near the picnic grounds, and was
humping the vehicle over boulders
when it damned on some rocks. Just
under the buggy was a hornets nest.
The horse struggled to pull the buggy
on, but could not bulge it nor could
the animal break away. The hornets
came out to investigate and took their
spite out on the horse. Several men,
who had followed the runaway horse,
came to the rescue and they were lib
orally stung when they released the
buggy.
