Bees Destroy 300 Cattle.

Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Friday, August 5, 1898

J. McKeegan’s famous bunch of shorthorned cattle, numbering 300 head, was pasturing in the reservation near Bancroft, Neb., on a high bluff overlooking the Missouri river. The cattle were suddenly attacked by several swarms of wild bees. In their terror and pain the whole herd jumped over the bluffs into the river and were either dashed to pieces or drowned.
