IPint-Sized Gunman
Surrenders After
Shooting 4 Officers
CRAIG, Colo. OP — Weak and
famished from two days of flight
through rugged mountains, a pint
I sized gunman surrendered Friday
i and admitted he shot four Colo
I rado officers because ”1 just
! didn’t wanta go to jail.”
Delmar D. Spooner, 25, of Storm
Lake, Iowa, was impassive when
captors told him two of his vic
| tims were dead.
“I saw my chance and grabbed
it,” he said. “I’m not sorry it
happened.”
The blond young ex-soldier was
seized as he crouched behind a
rock near a railroad spur at Bond,
in northwest Colorado. i
Under questioning he recount
ed in a flat, colorless voice the
violence last Wednesday in which
the four officers were shot.
Spooner had stopped his car
near Kremling, Colo., where a
passing Colorado Game and Fish
Department employe, Robert L.
Hoover, saw him and offered aid.
Hoover became suspicious when
he noticed a rifle and ammuni
tion in the parked car.
State Patrol Lt. Hiram Short
and Sheriff Chancey Van Pelt ar
rived within a few minutes and
searched Spooner. He moved to
the car, drew a hidden gun and 1
began firing.
All three officers were wound
ed. and Short died within a few
hours. Van Pelt and Hoover are
in serious condition at a Denver
hospital.
Officers said the young Iowan
gave no explanation why he came
to Colorado.

Italian Fashions
I For Fall and Winter
Shown in Florence
FLORENCE, Italy UP — The
‘ spotlight of Italian fashion turn
j ed Saturday to Florence for a
l display of fall and winter show
ings.
Buyers and private clients
moved up to the City of the Med
ici after a 3-day parade in Rome.
In Rome, Fontana’s new “'Min
uet 61” line hit like a bombshell
after four other houses exhibited
new lines. Fontana sparkled with
a collection rich in elegant,
breezy informality.
“Minuet 61” introduced a
smooth, sophisticated feminine
line characterized by a fitted but
non-clinging long-waist effect
that slides evenly into a rounded
hip skirt, full at the sides and
suggesting panniers.
Dark smooth wool — highlight
ed by gray, brown and dark red
— lent dimension. Jackets were
longer, collarless and marked by
definite waistlines.
The House of Gattinoni offer
ed a romantic line of gently fit
ted dresses and suits with lightly
flared skirts and little fur neck
lets and muffs.
Luciana held to a loose con
cept — tentlike coats and belted
or straight jacket suits with but
toned-up and sleeveless satin
shirts.
From Gregoriana came the fair
ly asbstract, full of symmetry,
zigzags and spiraling jabot drapes.
She also showed several very
pretty evening costumes: slim
dresses with ballon-hooded cape
coats or capes.
Tita Rossi showed a symmetric
trend too. Many of her coats and
suits carried slanting envelope
! wrap panels and closings. She
I used ocelot and pony plastror
fronts and revers on wool suits
) She did a gray sheared lamt

Negro Survives Ride
Over Niagara Falls
In A Water-Tight Ball
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. UPl —
i A man in a 6-root rubberized
| water-tight ball successfully rode
over the 161-foot Horseshoe Falls
iSaturday.
He was identified as Nathan
I Boyar, a Negro, about 30, of the
Bronx. He was the fifth person
in history to make the drop with
out injury.
Canadian officials immediately
took the man into custody on a
charge of illegal entry. The man,
at first, declined to give his name,
j they said.
Police said the man went over
' the falls, and opened the hatch
of the object while still in the j
water. He waved, they said, ap- j
parently to indicate success.
A year ago, July 9, 1960, Roger j
Woodward, 8. of Niagara Falls
miraculously escaped uninjured '
when he was swept over the
Horseshoe Falls.
j Three other stunt artists, two
of whom since died, went over
the falls in protective gear. The
only one living survivor is Jean
Lussier of Niagara Falls, who 32
years ago went over in a rubber
barrel as a stunt.
Long before toothpaste came in
a tube, U.S. settlers kept their
teeth white by brushing them
with peeled twigs of dogwood.
