DOG CLIMBS LADDER; SORRY.
Waterloo Canine Finds II Easier to Go
UP Than Down. ssa

Waterloo. Aug. 20.-Essaytng from
the role of canine temporarily to thai
of a carpenter, "Bowser," the watch
dog and mascot at the new RUSSELL
Lamson hotel in course of erection at
the corner of Fifth and Commercial
streets created no end Of amusement
yesterday morning by ascending lad
der from the first to the second story
with as much ease and grace as an ex-
pedienced wood artist. Once off terra
firma, however. ''Bowser' lost his nerve
and in dog language threatened to
lend it all" unless he was quickly res
cued.
The men in the office alongside the
new hotel after watching ''Bowser"
slowly ascend the ladder and land
on the second story again turned their
attention to the drawings and figures
before them, dismissing the strange
prank of the dog as closed incident
In a few minutes they were some
what startled by a series of howls
and "Bowser" was found perched
along the top OF the second story as
if to end his life by jumping down.
A plank was secured and laid to
the Office roof following which the
canine by travelling from one roof
to another finally reached the ground
again.
