TIE PROMOTER OF THE GREAT DIAMOND
SCHEME SEVERELY WoUNDED.-A telegram
frd IN Louisville, ky.. August p, says Phillip
Arl old, the man who engineered the great
diamond scheme of lS7l-2 TO success lies in
his beautiful hCme at EliZabethtown, this
state, with a lead of buckshot in his right
breast and shoulder. Arnold has been out OF
the pubic eye since Lent and RalSton COM
pre- missed tht ir suit against him for sl50O0l
cash; Yet he has made himself a prominent
man among his Leigbbors, and his bank is the
most foul hing in that section of Kentucky.
he enter tains lreely. his stable is noted for
its fast stock and his fruit farm is the boast
OF Hardin county. Though he got his wound
IN The course OF a promiscuous street fight,
and though another citizen, a passive by
stander, was perhaps mortally wounded by a
shot from Arrold's pistol, fancy that no very
vigorous prosecution will be made against
him. Ii is hard 10 say just why the man has
cCme 10 be III such fair repute among people
who are not apt to condone crime of the Ar
nold SORT. They forgive too easily violence,
but they al hor dishonesty or the slispiciou OF
dishonesty. Perhaps II was the very daring
OF 1t that found favor in the Kentucky heart
