CAN'T AssAssINATE Me"

About half way down the block he
was arrested by a policeman, taken to
the cooler, and thence to Jail. Stryk-
er is from Missouri, bricklayer by
trade, and has been identified with the
greenback element. He has been
worried because the Knights in this
CITY would not submit to his dictation.
Bickel is quiet and conservative and
has always resisted the cranky notions
of Stryker. Bickel would not hurt a
mouse, but is quietly positive in his
convictions, and believes that the
Knights of Labor organization should
not be used to advance the political
schemes of any set of men.
The affair has caused consider.

A telegram from Wichita, Kansas,

Sedalian
1.-The quiet of this city in the
vicinity OF the county building, situa-
ted ON one of the busiest corners, was
disturbed about 9 o'clock this morn
ing by three pistol shots fired in rapid
succession. Your reporter being in
the vicinity at the time, Immediately
investigated and found that the shots
were fired by A. ID. Stryker, a de-
posed Master of Assembly No. 1896,
knights Of Labor, of this city, and
that the party fired at was NV. Bick-
ell, plasterer and member of the
same assembly. Bickel was going 10
his work, trowel in hand, when he
was met by Stryker, who said &c
d-yOu, I'll give it to yOu,'
PULLED HIS PISTOL
and began firing. Bickel ran behind
Councilman Richey, WHO was talking
at the time with Jas. Mccoy, of Texas
cattle fame, and one of the shots went
between Richey's legs. Mccoy
Immediately tackled the shooter,
but before he could wrest the
gun out of his hands two other shots
were fired, one of which went through
a real estate sign-board and the other
struck passing street-ear, glanced,
and hit the driver on the arm, with
out doing any damage. After the
pistol was taken from Stryker he walk

CONCERNING DIAMONDS.
Peculiar Formations OF tho mines In south
Africa,

AsCuiinf F0Euh1tiOno ot INC uAtneA III E0uNn
Africa.
Iongman Magazine.
And now the most interesting questions
present themselves, How did the South
African diamonds ever get thereP How
much deeper are we going down? Are
diamonds going to be found in as large
quantities as at PRESENT.
There are various theories as TO how
these mines have been formed, but all
agree In attributing them TO volcanic ac-
lion. They are all funnel-shaped,
the sides OF the funnel being
composed of dense igneous rock,
known In miners parlance as "reef." 1t
Is OF a soapy nature easily acted upon
by the atmosphere, consequently most
dangerous, as large pieces, In some in
stances weighing hundreds Of tons, get
detached. There are no means Of snoring
/ II up, and without warning these slices
Will slide off into the working portion of
the mines, burying the claims and some.
times killing the employees. The whole
of this funnel Is filed with
this 'blue" ground, the reef sloap-
ing at various angles, but on an aver
age Of one in fifteen. The theory Is, that
in time the sides Of the reef will meet at
some great depth, supposed by some TO
be 1000 feet, by others more; and that
then we shall arrive at the aperture
forming the bottom OF the funnel.
Whether that hole will again expand into
u further cavity, Is of course, matter for
speculation. 1t should be remembered
that the diamonds were not formed
where they are now found.
The hot liquid containing the diamonds
was forced by some great oataclysm OF
nature through the solid earth, the bulg-
ings IN the sides of the mines being very
soft and shay, showing were the rock was
not sufficiently hard TO resist the enormous
pressure. Now IT has been observed that
in Kimberly there must have been ten
distinct upheavels; In Dutoitspan, twenty
five; in Bultfontein, three or four; and
in DeBeers, three; and this has been
proved by the varying nature OF the
ground. III one upheaval only
had taken place the centre
OF the funnel would have cor.
tained one particular kind OF soil. AT
the miners 20 deeper great alteration IL
noticed IN the character OF the soil. They
have actually found pieces OF the TOP
reef and top soil at n depth of 400 feet.
This shows that IN the succeeding up
! heavals vacuums were formed and the
! whole funnel became in a state OF tumult,
the upper layers OF oxidized earth return
Ing TO their ancient depths 10 give place
to the other carbonaceous matter which,
by successive exposure TO the atmos-
, phere, became oxidized and assumed the
yellow color seen so frequently ia the
heaps and entertainments OF rejected debris.
