WITH | you like to hold onto a tree with one { arm for two hours and a-half, thirty-five | feet above ground and seventy feet over MILTON ROBB’s THRILLING EXPERIENCE WiLp Honey BEEs.—How would ‘ a rocky mountain side, with a swarm of ‘ bees as big as a bushel basket hanging i to your arm and side, while other bees ~ swarmed over your faceand hands biting and stinging, and dare not make a move lest you be stung to death? Such was the experience of Milton Robb, of Cole- | ville, last Saturday evening, and when seen by a WATCHMAN reporter on Mon- , day morning his face was covered with | black and blue blotches, the results of the i bee stings. Mr. Robb, who works for the American Lime and Stone company went home at five o’clock and met his brother Abe coming down off of the mountain. The latter asked him if he would like to get a swarm of bees and Milt promptly re- large swarm was hanging on a limb of a tree about two miles up the mountain, near the Haupt and Burnside farms. Milt at once agreed to go. Securing a saw, a small tub, a blanket and several towels Milt, Abe and their brother Sher- wood went up the mountain and finally came to the tree designated by Abe, and sure enough there were the bees, and a good big swarm it was, too. Abe asked Milt if he was willing to climb the tree and saw off the limb and the latter said he was. Abe was to have the tub and blanket ready and when Milt dropped the limb with the bees on it to the ground Abe was to hive them in the tub. Milt started up the tree and as he climbed upwards he sawed off enough of the branches so that nothing would in- terfere in dropping the limb with the bees on it to the ground. Finally he reached the bee limb and gently as pos- sible began to saw it off, holding the limb with one hand so it would not drop too suddenly. But he miscalculated the weight of the bees, for, when the limb was about sever- ed he could not hold it with one hand and it swished downward and in against for Abe and he called to him to look out, but Abe had already looked and as Milt puts it, “was running up the mountain through the Brush like a “Texas steer.” But Milt had little time to give thought to him for when the limb swished against him the queen bee was knocked off and took refuge under his left arm, which he had flung around a limb of the tree to hold himself from failing. Quicker than you can tell it the bees followed their queen and swarmed on Milt, completely | covering his left side, shoulder and arm and partly encircling the tree. Some of the beescrawled up his trouser legs, some up his ‘shirt sleeves and others settled on his face. Prespiraticn started out all over his body and streamed down his face and then the bees began to bite and sting. They crawled in to his ears, his nose and even his mouth, but he dare not make a move for fear of being stung to death or at least insensibility, and in the latter case he would lose his hold and be dashed to death seventy feet on the rocks below. As soon as Sherwood Robb saw his brother's predicament he realized that they had no means at hand to rescue him and he started on a mad run the two miles down the mountain for a lad- der. On the way he met two men in a buggy and hurriedly told them what had happened. One man got out and the other turned around and with young Robb drove down the mountain as fast as his horse could go. They got a ladder from Jacob Cole and also told what was wrong. Mr. Cole and Oscar Hendricks hurried up the mountain and on the way up the crowd met Elmer Breon with his wife and child. Mr. Breon transferred his wife and child to the other buggy and taking the ladder and Mr. Hendricks drove up the mountain to rescue Milt. In the meantime the latter was having the most terrible experience of his life. The strain on his nerves was something awful and the weight of the bees and their repeated stings brought him several times to the. verge of unconsciousness. He prayed loudly and fervently to be de- livered from those bees and he is sincere in his belief today that his prayer was heard in Heaven and answered. When Breon and Hendricks arrived upon the scene they hastily hoisted the ladder against the tree and with a rope in hand Breon climbed the ladder. He threw the rope over a limb and fastening it around Milt’s right shoulder assisted him, bees and all to the ground. The minute he reached the ground one of the men threw the blanket around him and pulled away as many bees as possible while Hendricks tore off Milt’s shirt with the balance of the bees and told him to run. He could not run, however, and after the bees had all been switched off with towels, the men started down the mountain, supporting Robb, between them. It was almost six o'clock when the bees settled upon him and it was about half-past eight when he was rescued, two hours and a-half of agony. His face, hands, arms and legs were swollen, and his eyes were so near shut he could hard- ly see. He was gotten home all-right but suffered such pain on Saturday night that a physician had to be summoned to re- lieve him. Both Breon and Hendricks were also badly stung, but did not require the services of a physician. Milt is an ex-member of old Company B, and went out with the Fifth during the sponded “yes,” and inquired where they ; were to be found. Abe told him that a Spanish-American war, and he now | maintains that had Company B been sent | Saturday evening fire was discovered in i the first stock room in the rear of Frank | E. Naginey’s furniture store on Allegheny | to the front a battle with the Spaniards would have been a picnic alongside his experience with the bees.

He is under contract for five years at an annual salary of five hundred pounds sterling (about $2,500), the sum of four hundred pounds to be allowed him for moving and becoming established in Melbourne. Mr. Wian is a brother of Willis Wian, the automobile dealer and repair man of Bellefonte. ——The elements went upon a ramp- age Wednesday evening and furnished an abundance of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. One of the shade trees in front of Mrs. W. H. Wilkinson’s resi- dence on Allegheny street was broken off about eight feet from the ground and fell over against the house. Aside from breaking the tin spouting little dam- age was done. At Clarence the house of Reuben Etters was struck by lightning, the chimney demolished and a small fire started, but it was easily extinguished without doing much damage. The rain fell in torrents and this and the wind put some of the wheat down throughout the county, but not enough to do any great damage. One thing the storm did, was clear the atmosphere of the humidity so prevalent for several days previous, and while yesterday was hot it was not nearly so oppressive as Tuesday and Wednesday. After the storm was over a brilliant light appeared in the northern and western sky and at first it was be- lieved to be the reflection of a large fire but it proved to be only a brilliant aurora borealis. ’ ‘Lyon & Co., doing damage estimated at | from $8,000 to $10,000. : | The origin of the fire is a mystery. { When first discovered the flames were | eating along the ceiling and through the | partition from the first stock room to the second. Both rooms were piled full of knocked down furniture, most of { excelsior, and through this tinder-like stuff the fire spread rapidly. In the . rear of the second stock room was a room filled with caskets and rough boxes , and practically all these were damaged “by fire or water. Inthe furniture stock rooms were hundreds of chairs, extension | tables, brass and iron beds, small kitchen ! refrigerators, etc. Practically all of it was either burned or so badly damaged as to {be beyond repair. The stock rooms were all of frame with tin roofs, and they will all have to be rebuilt. Between the first stock room and the main store room is a work room. The fire did not penetrate this but considerable damage was done there by water. Between the work room and the main store room, is a fire-proof door, but it was not smoke-proof and | everything in the main store building is badly smoked, from the cellar to the third story. Mr. Naginey estimates his loss at of only $2,700 on his stock rooms. Lyon & Co’s loss on their stable will not be great and is covered by insurance. THE JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUA.—Just about a year ago the work of Junior Chautau- qua began, in close connection with the bigger movement which we might call the Senior Chautauqua. Today, the words Junior Chautauqua are magic words for 10,000 children in the towns of seven States. All these children and many more, in these and five additional States, are now waiting anxiously for the coming week of stories, games, folk- dancing and athletics, which is the other spelling of Junior Chautauqua. The Junior Chautauqua this summer will be better than ever. There will be now stories, new songs, new games, There will be “hikes” for the children over twelve years of age, these “hikes” to be accompanied by special stories. There will be folk-dancing to the music of the “Victrola,” and a track-meet one day for the elder boys. There will be a story-hour in the afternoon, while the grown-ups are having their session in the big tent. And on the last day, there will be a play, “Mother Nature's Gar- den.” In this little play, the Junior lead- er will take the part of Mother Nature, whose four messengers, Rain, Frost, Hail and Sunshine, go forth into every corner of the earth, returning with the children of every nation, each nation bearing its own flag, dancing its national dance, and singing its most loved song. LEATHERS BROS. BiG LAND SALE.— As an instance of the belief in land val- ues and the future of State College was the Leathers Bros. big sale of real estate in’ the Lytle addition last Friday and Saturday. A special free train of four cars filled to overflowing, with Our Boys band of Milesburg, was run to the Col- lege on Friday and on Saturday it requir- ed five cars to haul the crowd. A special free train was also run from Coburn on Saturday and just 810 Pennsvalieyans took advantage of it. Friday's sale was stopped by the rain, but on Saturday lots went like hot cakes. All told approxi- mately 180 lots were sold. The lowest price received was $115.00 for a lot 21x 132 feet, and the highest price was about $565.00. The average price for the 180 lots was a fraction less than $273.00. The Ford touring car, given away free, was drawn by A. T. Witmer, of State College. a ROBERT M. FOSTER GETS POSTMASTER PLuM.—Hon. Robert M. Foster, merchant and ex-Member of the Legislature, was last Friday nominated by President Wilson as postmaster at State College to succeed Phil D. Foster, the present Re- publican incumbent. Thus ends one of the hottest fights that has taken place for a postmastership in Centre county since the election, of President Wilson. Mr. Foster was the logical candidate of the so-called Reorganizers, as he has stood with them from start to finish, so that his appointment should really not come in the nature of a surprise to any- body. The Senate will likely confirm the appointment this week and Mr. Foster take charge just as soon as he receives his commission. The salary of the State College postmaster was recently raised to $2,600 a year. : NEWS PURELY PERSONAL.
