DOGS ATTACK SPRINGFIELD GIRL
Little Child Has Painful Expert
ence on Her Way Home
From School.


From School.
A Springfield special to the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press of yesterday is to the
effect that while returning from school
the ten-year-old daughter of Edward
Bauch was attacked by five dogs and
severely bitten before neighbors came
to her assistance
The child had been kept after school,
and being rather sensitive she started
to run home so that her parents would
not know that she had been kept after
hours.
While she was running her fathers
terrier dog and two others of the same
breed belonging to her two uncles
playfully leaped up at her, and these
antics attracted two other dogs that
took the matter seriously and joined
in the chase. They pounced upon the
child and tore her dress to ribbons,
and all of the dogs began to bite the
little girl savagely until neighbors
heard the noise and drove the pack
away. The child already was bleed
ing profusely from many wounds.
An examination revealed the fact
that both arms were covered with ugly
wounds and that a large piece of flesh
had been literally torn out of her back.
It is believed that the child will re-
cover. Ali of the dogs were pets and
had never before shown vicious dis
position. The three brothers prompt
ly killed their dogs.
Mrs. VIM. j. Winkelmann is enjoy
ing visit from her friends, Mrs. Riebe
and Mrs. Rosencranz of Benson.
