Il Shortly after The bursting Of the great
J: dliarnond bubble. a few months ago, VII
liam M. lent, it win he remembered, started
for the state Of Kentucky in search of Phil
/ lip Arnold, the bold and skillful operator
/ who had departed fance with about halt Il
million dollars as the reward Of his Iabors in
u this fIuitfus vineyard. Arnoldss hoine y ii
Elizabethtown. Hardin County, and tLither
i Mr.. Lent bent his steps. Capt. Lees Of the
4 san Francisco detective force also went to
Il Kentucky IN search of Arnold and met Mr..
Tent in Elizabethtown. Unfortunately for
i the success Of the enterprise, Mr.. Arnold
happened to be away from home just about
/ that time, and liz happened to- keep away,
too. a civil suit was commenced by Mr..
Lent against Arnold for. the recovery of
$50, 900, alleged to have been obtained
through false representations by defendant
from the plaintiff Arnold could not be-
found to receive the legal notice issued BY
| the Court, and All answer to the complaint
! Of Lent was filed by Mrs., Arnold, who Just
now revels il the enjoyment Of pffii-money
toian extent beyond her widest authorizations
prior. to Phillips diamond plaiftihg expert
ments. It.being civil suit, there could be
no fDfcible entry OF the officers into Arnold's
1 house to serve the writpn him and 1t is said
thatif there had been it would have failed to
4 find him, as he was entertaining himself III a
neighbo,ho on Nolin Creek, into which
Eithe ..minions of the law, either did not like
to venture 0r were convinced that it would
be of no use. Ya53sgd aHa1aaR &

/ There were rulmors afioat OF a compromise
4 being under discussion, but none was effect
ed Mr.. lent is i very shrewd man, and
Captain Lees is By no means dull. So these
two long heads were laid together, and the
result was \ mutual agreement that the lions
skin being too short for Hardin county it
would be necessary to exc it oat with the
fox's. This idea was not original, but its
application was remarkably well timed; for,
among the friends of his youth "a. class OF
people more noted for accuracy of aim with
the rife than for finely spun theories ofmor-s
ality--had enlisted a great deal of sympathy 8
Ie was evident that an attempt to take Arn-'
fcld by force was out of the question. Scores
ot men openly expressed their entire ap-
provai Of his course, and did not hesitate to-
grinly hint that if Arnold should be found
those..wh hunted him up would probably be
glad to lose him again. So twas decided to
have recourse to strategy. Lees went off, to-
New York, and Lent started back to CALI
fornia, arriving here about Q .weok age.

his hi5ine-plaee. Where the secret spot was

How Mr.. Arnold confidence was betrayed
