DIR. w. E. Carter Dead

DR.. w. E. Carter's death which
occurred at Davenport, Iowa, on
Friday, September %, came as a
great surprise to the Solomon peo-
pie. He was here about three months
ago and was the very picture of
health, so when the news came that
he was dead it was hard for his
friends to believe. The body arriv-
ed here Sunday and funeral serv-
ices were held that afternoon in
the NJ Il. church Solomon Tri-
bune.

Angry Bees Sting Man
Tied to Limb of Tree

had been located and which was be-
lieyed TO contain n considerable
quantity OF honey.
The limb containing the bees wns
some distance from the ground and
1t was found necessary for one OF the
men to climb the tree. Hughes vol
unteored to do this, and. in order TO
leave his hands free, tied rope about
his body and then TO the tree to hold
him in place.
The limb broke, llberating the
swarm and leaving Hughes tied up
in the tree at their mercy. The bees
naturally attacked him and before he
could unite tho rope and let himself
down he had been badly stung all
over the body. His face was especial
ly full OF the stings and 1t was quito
task TO remove all OF them. He was
taken home by his companions ant.
physician called who gavo him re-
lief and he is now recovering.
The episode might easily have
proved fatal. as bees have been known
in several instances to sting their vic
tim so badly that he died, and this
could easily have resulted in this case
had Hughes not been able to get away
as quickly as he did.

freshmen backs would elude the other
tacklers only to be brought down by
Hampton.
