Polk County Hero. Is The Vio
v tim 6f Practical Jokers.
Mena,, Aug.28,*—After hav
ing escaped the perils of mil
itary service during the World
war, Leonard Rose, a young
man living near Grannis,
came to his. death by being
stung by an army of wasps.
The death of the returned
soldier is one of the strangest
ever recorded in Polk county.
Several days ago Rose was
one of a crew of workers em
ployed in picking cucumbers
on a truck farm near Grannis.
Fellow workers hid Rose’s
lunch basket near a bush
which contained a large wasp
nest, and when the former
soldier went to get it, they
threw cucumbers at the nest.
The aroused wasps sallied
forth and attacked Rose. Be
fore he could escape he had
been stung more than 50 times
about the face and body. The
young man was given medical
attention and apparently im
proved, but the poison inject
ed into his' blood caused
death a few days later.—Ark
