Show ARNOLD MTIMmprjcu ii1A. mo.vns. The San Francisco "Uhroniale" has hoard from Arnold, of diamond fraud notoriety. It saya : Thero was another small ripple on tho surface of tho diamond soa on Wednesday morning, caused by tho receipt of another letter. Quite a sensational letter, too ! Mot from any of tho Eella party, who aro now browsing brows-ing around on tho diamoDd fields, but from the Great Salting Chieftain no less a personage than Arnold. It seems that Arnold, having road in tho "Chronicle" the report of King and tho subsequent proceedings takon by the Trustees, co Deluded to write not a book, but a letter. Tho letter ia characteristic of the backwoods style of composition, and it ia said to bo a true reflex of tho Arnoldian mind. Arnold evidently doesn't agrco with King's conclusions, or would have poo-plo poo-plo belicvo that he has oonlidcnoo in tho fact that tho diamond company's ground is truly diamoodiferous, and ho means to fight it out on that lino all of next spring. Tho letter is couohod in tho following elegant terms: Arnold's letteh. To the Diamond Company ; I eco by tho papers that Arnold and Slack aro to bo prosecuted, and that omincnt counsel has been employed. I havo employed counsel myself a good Henry Hen-ry rifle and I am likely to open my case any day on California street. Tjero are several scalps I would like to string oo a pole I don't include Janin, your export. Ho iB of no consequence; con-sequence; send him to China, where he will find hia equals in tho ox port busiooss. As you are all goiDg into the ncwapapcrp, I'll take a fling at it myself one of thoea days. I'm going to the fields on my own hook in the apriog with fifty mon, and will bold my hand against all the oxporla you can asnd aloDg. If I catch any of your kid-gloved gontry about thero I'll blow the Bluffing out of 'cm. 1 Arnold. |
