AMUSING GAMES OF CUSTOMS
Invented by Eastern Children Who
WerS Long Detained by Officials
at New York.

A new game Was invented by some
eastern children this fall which they
named "Eustoms," and this is how It
came about
They had been travelling in Europe

father, :srd among the numerous tt ,ngs
to interest them were the customs
officers, who investigated their bag.

duty. When they came back to Amer.
lea the* were detained long time in
the custom house waiting for an Off.
Ger to examine their trunks. It was
great fin for the children to follow
the of1e 'rs about, and hear what the
people had to say, and how much
money they had to pay for the dress
goods and jewels and everything thew
had brought from abroad. So they i'm.
medfately invented this game.
One person is chosen az the "cu.-

Amy Robsart was pretty country
girl, daughter of wealthy old knight
who lived in Berkshire, England While
mere child she was betrOthed to
Robert Dudley, one of the many sons
OF the crafty duke of Northumberland.
The duke worked hard for his own
familys advancement lie arranged
marriage between one of his sons,
Guilford Dudley. and Lady Jane Grey,
cousin to King Edward vi. of England.
In this series the story of Lady Jane
Grey has been told. AS result Jane,
Guilford and northumberland were all
three beheaded. Northumberland S
father had already been beheaded by
Henry VIII. for unlawful use of power.
1t was while trying to arrange for
his familys welfare that the duke ar
ranged the marriage between his hand
soonest. cleverest son, Robert, and rich
Sir John Robsarts daughter, Amy. 1t
seemed at the time good match, for
Robert did not then dream of the
rank that was later to be his. Amy
loved him devotedly, and he seems to
have been fond of her in his own self
ish way. The early years of their
married life-they were scarcely more
than boy and girl-were passed hap
PLY in quiet Berkshire. Amy was
A Bov and Cir, more than con-
w * tent to lead a SIM
Love A"a'r' pie country exis-
tence with her handsome young hus-
band. But political temptations soon
drew them apart.
Robert received an Office at court
under Queen Mary. Then Mary died,
and her sister, Elizabeth, came to the
English throne. Elizabeth, though
she never married, had an eye for
handsome, clever men, and often gave
them higher positions at court than
she bestowed on persons of real merit
Dudley knew this trait of the queens
and resolved to profit by it. Leaving
his lonely little wife at Cumnor Hall
in Berkshire, he took up his residence
at London and devoted himself to win
ming tickle Elizabeth's favor. He sue
ceeded She loaded him with wealth
and titles, and undoubtedly fell deeply
in love with him. Then it was that
Roberts ambition took new and
audaciously high flight.
Elizabeth was unmarried. She loved
Robert, and he had more influence
over her than any other living man.
Why not marry her and rise at a
bound to the dazzling rank of prince
consort? The idea was daring, yet it
seemed plausible. Only one obstacle
appeared to block Roberts path to
greatness. He already had a wife.
Amy meanwhile lived on, lonely and
neglected, at Cumnor Hall, hoping ever
that her adored husband would tire
of court life and come back to her.
She suspected nothing of his new
plans, not even when one or two un-
successful attempts were made to
poison her These attempts failing, it
was necessary to use surer means.
Such means were employed, and the
finger of suspicion points strongly to
Robert as instigator of the whole
crime
One morning in 1860 Amy was found
dead, her neck broken. The report
was given out that she had fallen
down flight of stairs. A story that
is more generally believed is that she
was told her husband was at last com.
ing to see her, and that; as she ran
delightedly to the stairway. to greet
him a trap door (previously loosened

ROUND MOUNTAIN
IS NOW ENJOYING
FLUSH TINES
MANHATTAN'S NEIGHBOR is EN-
JOYING GOOD TIMES, EVEN
WITH LITIGATION.

E. A. Winder. one of the pioneers
of Austin and the Round Mountain
section, spent yesterday in Tonopah,
having come from Round Mountain
for the purpose of transacting some
personal business
Mr.. Winder states that the camp
to the north is one of the very best
in the state at the present time and
that everybody there is enjoying
good times and good health. In
spite of the fact that the water sup
ply of the camp is threatened by
litigation, the people are plugging
right along making money. A dis
pute has arisen over the ownership
of certain water rights which will
occupy the attention of the courts,
though Mr.. Winder states that the
camp will suffer in no particular be-
cause of the disagreement. The par
ties to the suit will not interfere
with operation in Round Mountain,
and everything will move right along
as if nothing were happening.

house some afternoon and there you
will see him stretched upon the
ground with his head resting be-
meath a bunch of fragrant alfalfa
that he has taken the greatest pains
to raise. Mr.. Shade has solved the
problem of gardening in Tonopah.
He has discovered after repeated ex-
periments that alfalfa takes kindly
to the soil of this camp and has rear
ed a crop of which any farmer might
we'll be proud He spends sleepless
nights keeping the burros away
which, it is strange to relate, have

ask you for the use of a little of
your valuable space to air a griev-
ance that not only myself may have,
but one which | feel is held by the

certain. After carefully scanning

JOHNSON Brings
IN ORE FROM
new STRIKE
NEW FIND NEAR ELLENDALE
NEW ORE THAT LOOKS LIKE
LIKELY MATERIAL.

To substantiate the report that a
strike had been made near the new
camp of Glendale a few days since,
J j. Sullivan, one of the original 10
Gators of the property, arrived in
Tonopah yesterday afternoon with
considerable ore. 1t is lead silver
and looks very much like material
that would carry high values in both
metals. The Bonanza man was un-
able to learn whether or not any as
says had been made as Mr. Sullivan
did not volunteer any information on
that score.
The new find lies about five pnj
one-half miles west of Glendale. Ii
is described by Mr.. Sullivan as being
a ledge some twelve feet in width.
all of which shows lead-silver ore
In addition he states that there is
some gold in the quartz. He and his
associates have located a group of
eight claims and will proceed to at
once begin development work.
