Drawn by the colorful scene, hundreds of palefaces visit the Indian villages every day to witness the game. "Passing the stick" Is a guessing game peculiar to the redskins of Nevada. A stick about three Inches long and ,,©#' the diameter of a pencil Is used. The contestants form two parallel lines, about three feet from each other with fifteen to twenty Indian bucks on a side. The leader of each side is in the center of the (Ine and. the players kneel and fold their arms over their chests. Like ^Button Button." Agreement Is made as to the side starting the contest. The leader of the side taking the offense places the tiny sttck in his right hand, then conceals both hands behind his back and rapidly changes the trophy from hand to hand. Finally he brings both hands to the front, tightly clinched, and folds his arms stoically. The opposing players then guess In which hand" the Utlck reposes, the first caN deciding the issue. Ofttlmes seven or eight braves will call out the winning hand, or fall to guess correctly. Should the first guess prove right the stick changes sides, and the leader of the opponents has an opportunity to demonstrate his shuffling abilities. From time to time ' other Indians among the players are given the honor of holding the vital stick and endeavoring to outguess the other side. The Indian is aptly termed "poker face," since his expression remains the same and he .gives no hint as to the stick's whereabouts. Big Gambling Game. ~ Points are scored on the basis of correct guesses, and during an" afternoon considerable money changes hands. Blankets, saddles, bridles, and even horses are won or lost. During the time the game is in progress the Indians keep up an Incessant chant The tribal musician accompanies this chant by beating on the tomtom. The tomtom used here is an ordinary washtub of the sheet metal variety, bottom up on the ground. A stick with notches about an inch apart Is held in the musician's hand, one end resting on the tub. A second stick is rolled up and down the notched stick. The sound created Is weird and barbarous. by August 8th, to be eligible to show and receive reward ' hVfJLY LAKE 1 * ^ Mrs. Gore of Chicago is spending a ,, > few weeks at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred Scharff. r If Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gannon of Chii^ lS;;cago spent Friday and Saturday at the home of the former'® mother, 4-ji s «Mrs. Louise Gannon. - * Miss Sophia Biser is spending a 2S?two weeks' vacation at the home of J|»; her parents on Highland Drive.

Evidence Discovered Verify Bible Miracles London.--Material evidence of two of the most spectacular miracles of the Bible has been gathered by British archeologlstB, according to messages from Palestine. Prof. John Garstang, leader of the Jericho expedition financed by Sir Charles Marston, has reported that the collapse af the walls of Jericho before the Jewish hosts under Joshua was apparently due to an earthquake. He based his theory upon the discovery that the walls of the city had fallen outward' in places In a manner which suggested seismic disturbances. The same natural phenomenon accounts for the drying up of the Jordan for the Jews to cross, he believes. The expedition, he says, has gathered eyldence that the clay banks of the river caved In near El Damieh at about the period described in the Bible. Sir Charles Marston, who has financed three expeditions to confirm the authenticity of Bible records, believes this naturalistic explanation of the miracles really corroborates the biblical description. « WLHELM? Rmmor Ex-Kmmr Will chase Chatmmt Dm Trmvano. The history of the Chateau de Trevano^ the magnificent Swlas residence lo which the ex-kalser will spend a part of his time, hereafter. If the allies will consent, shows It to a house of tragedy, writes Lady Mary In her Iiondon letter. Naturally the Swiss are willing. It would mean the expenditure of a Jot of outside money in their country, and upon the expenditure of outside money the Swiss have become rich. But the chateau has a German history, which may have a morbid fascination for the ex-kaUer, who, like most of the Hoherizollerus, has a very morbid streak in his psychology. Sixty years ago a tremendously rich German built the beautiful structure for his wife and daughter. It was to be just what they wanted. He spent a great fortune on it and presently it was ready to move into. -.Then, within a single day, both wife and daughter died. The German, full of grief, committed suicide. Examination of his accounts showed that he had spent $5,0OG,OOO on the grounds and building. It was sold for Just under half that sum--$2,200,000. The buyer, highly satisfied with the castle and its grounds spent months and a great fortune In gathering what he considered fitting furnishings. Then he pioved in--and then he, too,.died. He had had 48 hours within the walls wl)ich he had thought wpuld make such a comfortable and beautiful home for his declining years. He left no direct heirs' and although 'many claimants appeared, none established fegal rights, and the property, under the Swiss law, reverted to the canton, or province, In which It Is located. This government department sold it to a syndicate which failed to market it at a profit, went broke and finally sold, at a loss, to two brothers who bought" It as a speculation. I It was. a very heavy property to carry and presently a quick sale was necessary to their profit. They had not counted on the possible effect of the castle's hard-luck history and they held it for 20 years, always under heavy financial drain for taxes and interest, unable to find a purchaser. Finally they sold to -Louis Lombard. The shock of this good forune was so great that one of the two brothers died on receipt of the news and the second died within a month. Louis Lombard, who bought the place and may sell It to the former kaiser, was a European musician who landed in New York penniless, went into Wall street and within less than 12 months, in some mysterious .way, made a million. Apparently the castle has had no ill effects on Mr. Lombard, but he has made comparatively little use of it and is now anxio. u.. s to get rid of»f it--if he caa "ge t the price.
