Such deviltry as this requires harsh
treatment at times. but the policy of
Sheriff Allen has been to treat his prs-
onerS as well as their conduct
would permit. The prisoners for
some time past, have been allowed,
In many cases. to work outside
the Jail, under proper supervision. Sher-
if Allen has always believed in placing
trust in his prisoners just so far as they
showed themselves worthy Of trust.
ATTEMPTED KNOCKOUT BLOW
The sheriff relates one rather amusing
incident of the early part of his term of
office. At one time while the new Jail
was being built, a crazy man was brought
into the jail for safe keeping. In the mid
die of the night, this man began calling
for something The sheriff went up to a
little window through which this man
was calling and was about to ask him
what he wanted, when the mans fist sud
denly shot out through the window and
nearly hit the sheriff in the face. After
that the sheriff was wary of getting too
close to prisoners who appeared at all
excitable. without being on his guard.

DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS
Large Number Of Good Stores Found
in Blue Clay
(From Popular Mechanics)

hundreds of diamonds. a large proper
ton of them of good size and the first
water are being recovered from the blue
clay deposits which were discovered in
Pike County. Arkansas only a few years
ago Although the existence of diamond
bearing formations in this vicinity has
been known by biologists and recently
by those in immediate proximity to the
fields. il has never become widely known
that the deposits arc so large as to just
ify working the fields.
A typical diamond bearing formation
Of several acres area exists where the
first stones We're picked up. a second
field showing Immense bodies of blue
clay, yet unsurveyed, has been found
few miles beyond the first. and it is
considered possible that still others may
be uncovered in the district. This land
Is now carefully fenced and constantly
guarded. Since beginning it's operations
one company has removed 400 stones
having an aggregate weight Of $50 car
ats. The exact yield from the other
mines is not known, since the results OF
their operations have been kept secret
An approximate estimate, however
places the total recovery of 5000 dia-
monds of unknown weight. The largest
stone so far discovered and officially re-
ported weighed eight and one-half
carats.
Usually the rough diamonds found have
been distorted octahedrons resembling
small pieces Of alum with fiery eye tho
centre which CLOVIS and flashes when
presented to light. While the sizes are
not unusual. some of them even small.
the quality Is asserted to be exceptional,
many Of the stones being as nearly
