Miss Disney and Mr.. Goings, it seems
that the girl worked for him in his shop
for about three days She said this
work started in on August and he in
sisted that it began a week later on Au-
gust II. Anyhow. it was admitted by
Goings that the girl had worked for
him for about three days. And it was
agreed among Miss Disney, who was
the only witness for her side of the case,
and the defending counsel and witness,
all one in the person of Mr. Goings, that
she was to receive $3.50 a week with
room and board until she learned the
trade and then she was to get $3.50
week. When Miss Disney quit after
three days work she eventually pre-
scented a bill for $3.50. She claimed the
extra money over her salary of $3.50 a
week for house work she had done
around the Goings' home, which she
claimed she had not agreed to do when
she offered to work for $3.50 a week.
Mr.. Goings testified that the actual
work done by the girl at the house did
not amount to very much and Judge
Simon finally figured out that Miss Dis
ney was entitled to S1.03.

Brute in Human Form Is Arrested
This Morning.

w. A. Catron, a laborer, was locked
in the county Jail this morning on a
charge which will keep him in the
penitentiary quite a while if it is
proven. The man is accused of an
unprinta BILE crime against his own
daughter, a years of age.
Catron lives at 1921 North Har-
rison street, and came here. recently
from Waverly, Mo- Wednesday his
wife brought the daughter and
younger brother. who knew some
thing about the case, to Mrs. Thorpe,
police matron, and made complaint
about the treatment the girl had re-
ceived. Mrs. Catron has not been liv-
ing at home, alleging that she could
not stand the mistreatment of her
husband, but yesterday, while he was
away, she got the children and
brought them before the officers.
County Attorney Schenck was called
in to hear the story as told by Mrs.
Catron and the girl. and while he was
present Catron came in to demand his
children. Before the investigation
was closed Catron, seeing that things
were going against him. slipped out
OF Mrs. Thorpe's office and escaped, al

though officers were set on his trail
within a few minutes. Sheriff Wilker-
son thought Catron was still in the
Jail building when it was decided to
arrest him, but the suspect had flown.
This morning Sergeant Ross caught
Catron after trailing him all over
town, as the man was trying to dis
pose of a pick and shovel at a second
hand store. Chief Eaton was also
after Catron, on information given by
telephone, and the officers landed him
together. A state warrant was issued
for Catron last night, and he was
thrown into the county Jail as soon as
captured this morning. A medical ex-
animation seemed to confirm the story
told by the little girl. 4

When MT. Spooner was a small boy he lived along the Charlton river in Iowa. The Fox and the Cree Indians used to come in from the north in the fall of the year and camp along the river. The youthful Spooner got to playing with the little Indian boys and soon he came 10 be on terms of such intimacy with the tribe that he ate at their dogfeasts. He also took part in their dances and this happening year after year he came in time to be quite proficient.
 Later in life Mr. Spooner went into the harness and saddlery business in a small village and a little later he joined the village band and blew the tuba. He exceled on that delicate in strument and a little later when the manager of a theatrical company sub mitted proposition to him to go with the show and take a dual role of tuba player and guardian of the box office, he accepted. He sold cut his saddlery business, put the money into a bank and thus safely launched upon his Thespian career
 The company finally put on "The Octoroon" and the Indian chief who had never seen an Indian played the part so unlike an Indian that Mr. Spooner was moved to derisive obser- vation. The manager was nettled and asked him sarcastically if he would like to try the part. He said he would and permission having been given him he constructed him costume out of leather. thus bringing his saddlery skill into play. On the stage he acted as much like he had seen the old Fox and Cree chiefs act when he was a boy. and beside threw in some embellishments for good measure. He has been an actor from that day to this; he has played many parts which were not In- dian but no doubt the training which fitted him for a faithful portrayal of the character of the averaging chief made 1t easier for him to assume other and widely different parts.

HOW "DAD" SPOONfR
 MADE HIS START
His Dramatic Training Was Begun by Wandering Band of Indians.

Dad" Spooner yesterday told how he unsuspectingly laid the foundation If his dramatic career. The story was related in connection with the favor with which the public has received his interpretation of the Indian chief in The OctoroOn." His yell of triumph after he places his foot on the breast f his prOstrate enemy is generally al- lowed to be worth the price of admis- sion.
 The Octoroon' is the first play in which Mir. SpOoner ever took part and his part in that was an experiment which was at once so successful that the Indian chief shortly became the whole show. throwing the actress who sustained the title role into the back ground.
