Although Covered With the Insects He Got Rid of Them by Stratagem.
An Uncanny Experience
Charles Ross, inspector for the state highway department had an uncanny experience in Lake County a few weeks ago. While driving on Waukegan road he saw a man standing near the edge of the road, looking in the opposite direction. Mr. Ross honked his horn but the man only moved a little nearer the edge and continued to gaze down the road. The inspector drove past and wondered if the man was crazy. He had the windshield open to get the air. Suddenly a big swarm of bees loomed up within a few feet ahead of him. Mr. Ross was unable to stop and a second later the insects were dashed through the windshield. They literally covered his body. The bees crawled all over his face, over his eyelids and almost drove him frantic. Mr. Ross realized that if he attempted to brush them off they probably would sting him to death. So he kept on driving, stepping on the gas, a little at a time until he was going maximum speed. The wind came through the windshield so strong that one by one the bees were blown away. After driving about half a mile in this manner all the bees had disappeared. He said afterward that it was the most nerve racking experience he ever had.
