WORE TIE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG.


a story Of tho way the OrloT Stone Wac
Taken From Persia TO Russia.
Gus Fcx, a dealer in diamonds on
Fourth street, has story about the IA
nous OrloG diamond, named after
Count Orloff, tho first European who
bought it. Fcx says: "It was originally
the eye Of an idol i'll Trichinopoli. 1t
was stolen according to tho accepted
account by Trcnchman, who escaped
with it TO Persia, where he sold it fer
the equivalent in our money Of SS, coo
TO a Jewish merchant.
''Tho Jewish merchant sold it 70 an
Armenian named Shafras, who had
Travelled in Russia and conceived the
idea Of taking the diamond to that
country and selling it to the Empress
Catherine for a great sum. Shafras paid
hi1l $50, 600 for it.
Having secured tho stone, the next
question with Shafras was how got it
to Russia, on rather how 70 conceal it
when he WAS searched ty robbors, as he
was slre TO DO on the road. The Journey
was long and perilOus one and thieves
abouuded everywhere. Shafras thought
Of swallowing the stone when he should
be taken BY tho robbers, but was obliged
to give that plan up, as the damon
was too large to swallow
"Hc began to feel he had white ele
phant on his hands when u thought oc.
cured to him. He procured a sharp
lance, made cut i'll the floshy part OF
his left leg and thrust the diamond into
the wound. Eo sowed up the cut with
q needle and a silver wire. 1t healed,
leaving tic diamCrd imbedded fast in
the leg, quito oGt Of sight.
"Thon he started for Russia On the
way he was seized by robbers again and
again and was thoroughly searched.
Being an Armenian and suspected Of
going to Russia to trade, the thieves
marveled greatly ct finding nothing Of
value upon his person.
"He arrived in Russia at last, and,
after extracting his diamond, visited
tho empress. Ho was willing TO sell il
for about $3.50, 600, but the empress had
not so large an amount in cash for the
purchase, and Shafras preferred to &c
on TO Amsterdam, the seat Of the dia.
mond cutting industry, where he had
the stone polished.
"Here Count Orlof, an extremely
wealthy Russian, saw the diamond and
| was filed with a determination to &c
cure 1t for the Russian crown. He di
secure it, but Shafras exacted from til,

A GAME PRESERVE.

The Denver ReDublican reports tac
prospect is far for the establishment
of a private zane preserve in the
northern part Of New Mexico. The
west end of the Beanbicn and Miranda
grantis is the chosen site.
II is proposed to erect a handsome
and commOdlous club house with nc
commodations for frty or sixtypeople.
The site OF the house has been chosen
on one Of the highest points Ia the
tract, overlooking the high mesa for
many miles eastward, while on the
west is given a view Of beautiful
parl; traversed by large trcutstream
and terminating on the west in a
mountain gorge.
The tract comprises about eco. .OG0
acres and embraces land of every de-
scription, and all kinds OF wild game
can find "A suitable resting place with
in its limits The location ranges
from the foothills to the summit or the
Ration range and is nearly square. 1t
is to be surrounded by a wire fence
strong enough to turn buffalo. When
the tract is enclosed it will be stocked
with deer, antelo o,elk, buffalo, quail,
grouse, pheasant, etc, whilo conyen-
lent ponds viii be provided for ducks,
geese and waders.
As the hunters will never be more
than a dozen miles from the club
house, there will he no daugcrof their
being lost, but in order to provide
against any possible accident ia the
event of the nimrodS being lost sever
al lodges will be erected at conveu-
lent points, provided with Sleeping
apartments and stocked with bedding
and food, they will be connected with
the club house by telephone,
IL is estimated that not less than
55O0,OO0 will be expended upon the
scheme, which will include the pur-
chase price OF the land and the i'm
provements. a committee Of the pro-
jectors will come out between now and
next spring aud if the SELECTION Of the
site is approved the construction OF
the fence will be commenced.

"a bull. " Sydney Smith tells rs, "is

Sir Boyle Roche told the Irish house Of

then before that august assembly, at tho
bottom Of the bottomless pit, he GER
tainly produced a bull, and a very fine
one, bat as certainly his aspiration does
not admit apparent relations that arc

DR.. Robert Fletcher il his Anatomy

shown conclusively that Greeks and
Romans must have had q good acquaint-
ance with surgery, it seems strange that
in the medieval European period there
was dense ignorance and no skill i'll am
TutGtiOn. Sword and lance wounds were
necessarily of constant occurrence then,
and the treatment was merciless. 1t has
been shown before how there was among
primitive people fair acquaintance
with surgery and even knowledge Of
the refnements Of it, as il plastic opera
tions. The discovery Of q manuscript Of
tho eleventh century shows us con-
clusivoly that among the Arabs and in
Syria at the time of the first crusades
there was q fair knowledge CT surgery
and that the Syrians held in poor esti-
nation tho Frank doctor. Osama tells
how knight was suffering from an
abscess OF the thigh and q woman from
consumption. The Frank physician had
the knights leg put in block, and it
was hacked of with a sword. The wom-
an was treated by having her hair cut
and cross cut into her skull. The
knight died ut once and so did the wom-

WAS in the city yesterday. Mr. Mar
tin was the only representative pres

resources and possibilities of the

sidcred of great Importance and pub
lished in full in last Sundays States
man. We shall republish the article
in The SILVER BLADE in the near fu-

Mr.. Martin was enthusiastic over
the result of this vention, and
much pleased with the line Of action
agreed upon by the convention to in
duce immigrants to come to Idaho.
This line of action is yet in the hands
of the executive committee and will
he given to the public next week. 1t
is proposed to establish bureaus IN
eyery precinct in each county Of the
state. which bureaus will be control
led by county board.
Mr.. Martin informed us that he
did not expect TO be the sole repre-
sentative from this county and there
fore did not go prepared to represent
the whole county, fact which he
much regrets. He expected at least
two more delegates from this county.
However he did very we'll and the peo-
nle of Kootenai county will appreciate
his efforts in their behalf at the con-
! yentiOn.
