Special to Times-Republicas.

Waverly, Jan. Is. Was William
Schroeder's dog vicious and, If so, did
his bite inflict three thousand dol
lar injury to the beauty and health of
Lucille Lamberson? This is the prob
lem which is confronting the jury in
district court. That many others be-
sides the parties litigant are deeply
interested in the solution of this prob
lem the throngs which crowd the
court room bear witness.
The incident which eliminated in
the court room yesterday occurred in
the early days of August, John Lam
was engaged in transporting an i'm
mense engine to plant of the Cedar
River Stone Company. With him was
his daughter Lucille girl of about II
years, who was walking behind the
trucks on which the engine was placed.
About a mile east of Waverly, they
passed the farm home of William
Schroeder. Mr.. Schroeder's watch
dog was standing in the road. The lit
tie girl attempted to pet him, when
without warning, he sprang upon her
and buried his fangs in her face. Be
fore help could reach her one side of
her face was SO lacerated as to disfig-
ure her for life. To add to the gravity
of the situation, she has since been
affected with ST. Vitus' dance, doubt
less due to the fright or to the injury
of the facial nerves.
In his defense, Mr.. Schroeder al
leges that his dog had heretofore been
gentle and kind. That Immediately
after the accident he killed the beast
and has since done everything in his
power to make the matter right.
ALI the parties in this action are
widely known. The Lambersons came
from Greene about three years ago.
since which time Mr.. Lamberson has
been engaged in house moving, and
his wife has conducted a local millin-
cry store. Mr.. Schroeder is wealthy
farmer, who for 20 years has lived just
outside the city limits.
