CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KuBLER, PUBLISHER

A new fad. promising small results.
has been introduced among h upper
ten, a New York gossiper says. IT
started several years ago, but failed TO
acquire sufficient Roadway TO maintain
itself. Recently a member OF the OBJ
trusive set at Narragansett Pier was
asked TO give his full name. IHtimate
friends knew him only as Charles w. q.
b. Quarritch, and he was required to
tell what the w. o. b. stood for. He
willingly explained that the letters
stood for themselves only, not being the
initials OF any names, but just tackled
on by his parents to I'LL out. His father
wanted to call him William Oscar
Buckner, while his mother insisted on
Walter Orlando Barnwell. and as
neither would yield they called him
Charles and w. o. B. as a compromise.
This explanation lei TO a general talk
on the subject OF names, and II was
presently revealed that many initials
in the middle names of both men n
women stand for no names at all, but
are merely letters stuck In for the sake

DIDN'T KNOW The LAW.
Because Armour Dldn't Pay Duty ON
Pearls ITO Was Fined 90,

Chicago, Sept. 81. Ogden Armour,
head Of the Armour industries, and son
OF the late Il. II. Armour, has paid n fine
of $1,000 TO the treasury department., to-
gether with an assessment of 80, 500 duty
on jewels which he brought into the
country without notifying the customs Of
ticers. The collection, which was val
ued, according to the federal officials
here, at moro than $50, 900, consisted Of
pearls. The prize Of the collection was
a necklace of perfect pearls and the par
donable pride OF Mrs. Armour In the
beautiful robe Of gems was responsible
for knowledge Of the manner In which II
was brought into this country, reaching
government officials. Mrs. Armour vas
showing the necklace to some admiring
friends and one nf them casually remarked
that the duty OH sucn q collection must
have been large.
"Oh, no." said Mrs. Armour mo duty
Is required on jewels for personal use"
This reached the ears OF j. G.. Crowley,
special agent for the treasury depart
ment. He laid the matter before William
Penn Nixon. collector OF the port, and the
United States district attorney and Judge
Kohlsaat of the United States district
court were called into conference. The
prominence Of Mr.. Armour In business
n society made the investigation n del
icate matter. The case was finally laid
before him and he was asked to explain,
Mr.. Armour readily admitted having
brought In the jewels, furnished a list of
them, agreeing to pay whatever was due
and such penalty az might be imposed,
He was unaware OF having violated any
law, as he brought jewels from abroad
without paying duty in former years, and
did not know OF any change in the tariff
law. The local revenue office received
the telegram from the office of the United
States treasurer this morning TO place
the fine and collect the duty on the pearls.
Every effort has been made to suppress
the name of ]. Ogden Armour In onnec
ton with the case. Mr.. Armour gave
bono to the local office yesterday and in
structed his attorneys to pay the fine
and duty with q check today.

IS ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Curly Roberts Taken TO Cody Charged
with killing n Ranch man.

with killing n Ranch man.
Cody. Wyo., Sept. 9.-Curley Roberts.
alias Matteson, was arrested at
Meeteetsee a few days g and brought
to Cody to stand trial for the murder
Of Samuel Carlson, the Paint Rock
ranchman who was murdered the lat
ter part OF June.
Carlson lived alone in a little cabin
on Paint Rock and it was supposed
that he had hidden a large sum Of
money in his house. Hunters found his
dead body at the cabin and unmistak-
able evidence of murder. A search was
made for the murderer, but the officers
were completely baflied; they could not
find a single clue.
A few days after the finding of Cart
sons body Curley Roberts came to
Cody and as he rode into town he
called to the people to keep away from
him as he had the smallpox. An ex-
animation showed that Roberts told
the truth and he was confined In a
pesthouse until cured of the disease.
After his dicharge from the hospital
Roberts tended bar at a local saloon
and IL was while intoxicated one night
recently thai he made several remarks
that aroused the suspicion Of the OFF,
GERS.
Following the clue the officers are
said to have obtained sufficient evil
dence to warrant Roberts arrest. The
bartender heard Of the matter, how
ever, and fled to Meeteetse, where he
was caught. 1t is said the authorities
have a good case against Roberts and
that in all probability the mystery sur
| rounding the death Of Carlson Will be
cleared up.
