James. Damhney, superjntendent
OF thu. Rescue mission on Eigh-
tenth street, had 81 fine and
costs OF the case suspended after
being found guilty ON . charge OF
assault and battery in the court q
Justice J. A. Boman this morning.
Daubncy was arrested on COM
plsint Of John A. Weston, ledger 1T
1909 First sysnue. who alleged that
Daubney had como 10 his room last
saturday Afternoon and started .
fight. weston claimed that one OF
the several blows landed BY Daub-
nsy caused . seyeie injury to his
ear. Weston said that he was hit
with some sharp instrument, but
that he did not sec the weapon In
Doubney's hand. The blow cut
into the mans ear.
The complainant stated that he
had been down and out some time
ago on account of lack Of work,
and had lodged II nights ct the
Rescue mission at . charge OF 70
cents per night for bed. His total
bill was $40, he said, and dsclar-
ed that he had made two payments
| on this bill to Daubney. Weston
had written home for money and
received $50. He had obtained
ney rooming place in the mean
time.
Salvation Army Fed Him.
While staying At the Rescue mis-
ision Weston had been receiving
meals from the Salvation Army.
When he received $50 from home
he went to the Salvation Army and
asked what his bill was, and was
told that no charge was made and
that no bill could be rendered for
the food. The man insisted that
he pay something and was told
that the only way the Salvation
Army could take money would be
through donation to the regular
fund. Weston made donationa to
the fund and then went to see
Daubney to make final settlement
, on his bill for the room. He
| figured he still owed Daubney 81,
and made payment OF this sum. In
court this morning both men said
that there had been no argument
when Daubney accepted the 81
payment. =.
However, Weston claimed that
on Saturday Daubney came to his
room and wanted to collect more
money, which he claimed Weston
owed him. and told Weston that
ne knew that he had obtained mon
ey from home and could pay. Wes-
ton replied that he had settled in
full for his bed at the Rescue mis-
sion, and refused further payment.
The man claimed that Daubney
then assaulted him. Justice Boz
man decided that q fine of 81
should be imposed on Daubney,
but added that he would suspend
the fine anu the costs OF the case.

Then the miniature is-dispatched

BILL AT FOX 1TIEATER
 PLEASES ITS PATRONS.

Local movie enthusiasts who saw Mary Miles Minter in Eyes of the Heart" at Fox's last evening pro- claimed it one of the best photoplays in which this charming little star has been seen. Telling, as it does, the story of little blind girl, brought up amid squalid surroundings and led 10 believe that her home was an idea! one, only to recover her sight and find to her grief that her surround ings were those of the slums. this play gives Miss Minter an excellent opportunity to portray the innocence and daintiness of youth in which she excells. But all is not sadness in this picture. There are thrills when the heroine turns crook and is ar rested, and all ends happily when the golden west opens its arms to re- ceive her and her lover to start life anew.
 Mutt and Jeff are as funny as usual, the Fox News presents a pie turized newspaper and a special com edy feature, The Doggone Wedding brings much laughter. The vaudeville headIiner. The Toy Shop" is one of the best song and dance revues seen at Fox's this season. There are four people in this act. Middleton's Man nikins do a variety of unique trlcks that please old and young alike ana for those who like the popular songs of the day, Miss Barbara Worth sings them. Her program includes the song hits of 1920. Hart and Rose round out the we'll balanced bill with song and dance number.
 A big event in the movie world IS slated for Sunday evening when the six-reel comedy, "The Kid.' a Chap lin feature, opens a four days show ing. This picture is said to excel even the famous laugh-maker of two years ago, Shoulder Arms, ana Chaplin is we'll supported in his com edy role by a youngster in the films. He is "the kid"
