DOG SHOT LOSE
FROM AUTO
BY COP
Rope Is Cut as Animal Is
Dragged Through Street
BY Motor Thief.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2i.-
Lieut.. Caleb Brinton, Of the Tween
tieth and Fitzwater street station,
may not be one Of the best marks
men on the city's police force, hut
when IT comes to making trick
shots, he is entitled to a spacious
niche in the Hall of Fame.
While walking along Nineteenth
street near Washington avenue the
lieutenant saw an automobile pass
ing. A dog was attached by a rope
to the rear of the car and was be-
ing pulled along the street. Brin.
ton shouted to the driver to halt,
but the man at the wheel did not
notice the command.
Drawing his revolver, the lieuten-
ant then took careful aim at one
OF the rear tires of the auto, fired
one shot and severed the rope hold
ing the dog. The dog. crawling
slowly, started toward the lieu
tenant, who picked him up and took
him into a store, where he was fed
and given a drink. The rescued
dog appeared little the worse after
the incident, and soon, apparently
becoming frightened by the large
crowd which collected, ran away.
The lieutenant later found that
the machine was a stolen one. the
license tags being the same as those
on one reported stolen Sunday.
Shortly after the shooting a
number Of residents Of the district
in which 1t occurred called on him
| to congratulate him on his act, but
the lieutenant, thinking he was re.
ceiving birthday congratulations,
did not "catch on" until later.

ARKANSAS FARM
YIELDS MANY
DIAMONDS
Only State in Union Where
They Are Found-More Than.
5000 Have Been Mined.


Arkansas, famous for it's slow
trains, also takes rank as the only
State which produces diamonds,
over 5000 having been recovered
since their discovery, in 1906 by
John Huddleston, a farmer, accord
ing to the Geological Survey.
Attracted by the unusual bril-
lance of a stone which his mule
had kicked, Huddleston dismounted
and recovered it. Examination by
diamond experts proved it to be a
genuine diamond. Soon after Hud-
dleston sold his forty-acre farm
for $4,000.
Though the Arkansas mines have
never achieved any great renown
as diamond repositories, stones
which have been recovered, it is
said, equal any found in India or
Africa as to color and freedom
from flaws. The largest stone
found weighed twenty-one-and-a-
quarter carats. Quite a number
have sold for as high as $500 a
carat, but the majority Of them
have been sold in their raw state
to museums and collectors.
Contrary to popular belief, dia
monds are not found in clusters
the survey states, and adds that
the average recovery in African
and Indian mines is about a carat
to two tons Of ore, and in the case
of the Arkansas mines, one carat tC
eight tons.
