Is Awarded $4,000 by Hardin
County Jury for Loss of
His Eyes
THE CASE WAS A PECULIAR ONE
Farmer Lishtfield, Who Fired the Shot
That Wounded PETER, Was Innocent
of Any Intention to Hurt PETER, But
Was Somewhat careless-Bar Asso-
citation Formed.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora. Jan. 21.--The jury in the case
of PETER VS.. Lightfield brought in a
sealed verdict last night which was
opened in court this morning. Tho
verdict awards the plaintiff damages
in the sum Of $4,000. The verdict is in
a manner surprise, as 1t was gen.
orally believed the damages would be
very light, if any We're awarded. The
jury evidently took the view that If
Pieter was entitled to any damages
$4,000 would be a small enough sum
for the loss of both eyes. A good deal
OF sympathy is expressed for Lightfield
as we'll as PETER, for the affair was
one of those unfortunate incidents that
are attributable to carelessness. Pieter
lost the sight of both eyes as the result
OF gunshot wound, alleged to have
been inflicted by Lightfield at clay
pigeon shoot at Buckeye on Thanks
giving day. The plaintiff was oper-
ating n mangatrap and when the
match had been shot off few OUT
siders were trying their skill. Pieter
raised up from behind the protection
and as he did SO Lightfleld is alleged
to have fired, Pieter receiving the
charge in his face. 1t was generally
believed that Lightf1eld had been some
what careless but there was no evil
dence to show he had any intention
to hurt PETER. On the trial there
was some evidence which made it
somewhat doubtful whether Lightfield
fired the shot that hit Pieter, as others
We're firing at the same time. The evil
dence, however, was pretty conclusive
that he did fire the unfortunate shot
and the pitiable condition of Pieter
undoubtedly excited the sympathy of
