and fishing party he went out on cm A log early one morning to fish while his comrades went up the moun tain on a hunt on their return when they arrived at the smal where they left roberts they were astonished to find him in the water up to his hip chin holding on to a root while thousands of bl big black hornets were circling about his head the party rowed to the shore and securing a long pole on the butt end of which a hook was made a lot of dry moss was gathered and fastened to the end of another pole and the rescuers then returned to t the he snag taking the precaution to button up their coats tie handkerchiefs over their faces and pull their hats down over their ears when they neared the snag the moss was set on fire and pushed ahead or the drift this drew the attack of the hornets which rushed into the smoke one man fastened the hook book into the clothing of roberts and the men at the oars soon pulled them away to a safe distance when roberts was as dragged on board more dead than alivie alive i roberts explained that he began fishing and caught a number of trout but when the sun was up an hour and it began to get warm hornets by the thousands began to issue from a cavity in the roots of the snag and at once attacked him he slid into the water but of course could not keep his head under and his head and face had been stung till he was as nearly dead his head swelling to twice its natural size the stings on the back of the neck at the base of the skull seemed to have affected fectea his spinal cord and to have completely paralyzed par him it took five days das to pack him on a litter to heppner where the physician was inclined to think he would remain a paral paralytic itic during the remainder of his life which will probably probable be of short dur duration
