Shooting of Mike Carney.

Alice Reporter.
On Tuesday morning between 9
and 10 O'Clock Mexican tramp cot
ton picker approached Mike Car
ney's stage stand below Santa Rosa
and opened a conversation with him.
Presently the Mexican at a distance
of six feet pulled out SO caliber
pistol and commenced firing at Mike,
shooting four times, two balls lodging
in the left breast, ons in the right
breast and one in the right Hip.
Nike fell down and the Mexican
searched him for money, but nary
dime did Nike have. The Mexican
cursed Mike and left him laying on
the ground. Meanwhile Nike recov-
cred himself and craWled to his tent
for his shotgun. He secured the gun
but the Mexican had made good use
of his legs and vas out of sight.
Nike then raised the alarm at
Sauz and a telegram was received
here that he was shot and to send a
doctor Immediately. DR.. Bering
answered the summons and found
Nike that night badly shot up, but
nothing serious. During the day
Nike dug up what little money he
had, and staid at Santa Rosa over
night. He arTi7ed on the stage
Wednesday evening, and is stopping |
at the Sedwick house. He said it |
was close call for an old gentle
man but he learned not to keep any
money in those digglngs hereafter.
The pistol balls after entering
Mixes body all glanced downward.
Stage driver Fowler reported on |
Thursday night that Major Arm
strong had captured the Mexican,
who shot Nike Carney, in the Sauz
brush and taken him to Brownsville. |

charge Of assault and battery, preferred
by j.. Tcmlinson. jr., n Of the propri-
stors OF the Argus-Leader. y jury o.
six men heard the evidence, and after
a,e minutes elaboration returned &
verdict OF not guilty. The circumstance
leading up TO the prosecution are abou
as follows: Mr.. Tomllnson was walking
along Phillips avenue Approaching
him in the opposite direction was Mr.
Kirby. Just as the two passed Mr.. Tom
iinson was struck a singing blow from,
behind On the face, which leveled hia'
TO the ground in a dazed condition.
When he arose 10 his feet Mr.. Kirby
was disappearing down the street. Tho
evidence disclosed the fact that no on.
saw the blow struck. and consequently
no one could swear that Ii was struc,:
by Mr.. Kirby. There Is no doubt thai
he hit Mr.. Tomlinson. however. an6

the act as cowardly and despicable. /,

Something About Diamonds.

Tine ruby mirrors he name Of fire,
the sapphire reflects the blue of the
heavens, the emerald pictures the depth

Every moment it flashes a new color
now blue. now red, now royal purple,
now golden yellow, says Home ana
Country.
In the rough-that is, just rs the stone
has been washed out of the clay and
broken loose from the ore-a diamond
presents the appearance OF q crystal
pebble, somewhat pointed at each end.
Ii usually appears 10 be OF a brownish
hue but now and again Il ray of light
Will seem 10 leap from the very heart
OF the stone From this rough form OF
the gem the diamond cutter decides
what the shape of the finished jewel Is
10 lie. Ii should be the aim of the dia.
niond cutter TO preserve this octahedral
character of the gem. To accomplish
this the rough stone is first split or
Clipped.
The operation is a most difficult one,
requiring m insight into the character
OF each individual stone. There are
hardly two gems that can be treated in
a precisely similar manner. Every
diamond has a thorough individuality
and must he treated according in
order to obtain the best results. The
splitting" is accomplished by fixing the
gem in 4 block W cement after which
the angles must be split off in accordance
with the direction of the specialization.
Flaws are also taken out in this opera
ton and the diamond given its future
shape.
TIE diamonds most highly priced are
the Indian AMI Brazilian stones. They
are generally of the purest white, the
most complete transparency water
