The End of Renegade White Man.

A party Of men accommodated Buffalo
Horns camp on Camas-P Prairie, last
week, and found the body Of Jim
Dempsey, tie notorious white man who
has been so long with the Bannock
Indians. He had been shot through
the body, and had the top of his skull
cut off with Ratchet. The account
the Indians give of the killing was that
they first shot him through the body.
He fell down. but got up and went a
little way and sat down. Many Of the
Indians had a superstitious belief that
Dempsey could not be killed, and when
he got up and walked along they We're
10th to make another shot, but Ban
mock John, who was considered dan
gerous Indian by his own tribe, and has
since been killed by them to get rid of
him, took a Ratchet and went to Demp-
sey and knocked him on the head, and
then cut off the top of his skull. This
story is fully confirmed by the appear
ance Of his remains. Dempsey took a
leading hand in stirring up the Indians
to war, and furnished them with guns
and ammunition, and it would have
been we'll for both Indians and white
people if he had been killed long be-
fore. Idaho World.

Stock Dreams.
Virginia New Enterprise.

Virginia New Enterprise.
The Hosmers live on North Stewart
street. MIR. HOsmer is an industrious
and competent carpenter. Mrs. Hos
mer is frugal and painstaking house
keeper. During their nine years resi-
dence in this city they have had little
to do with mining stocks. In these years
they had not saved enough money to
make them rich, but were a few hun
dreds ahead of the world, and were hap
Ply and content. But there came to
them that which has not added to their
happiness. 1t was all through dream.
When Sierra Nevada was 81 per share
Mrs. Hosmer dreamed that the stock
| would go up to a big figure. She was so
| impressed with this idea that she gave
her husband no rest until he had in
vested their savings in the stock. When
it went up to 500 they sold out. The
speculation made them little fortune
of So. 500. Mr.. Hosmer carried all this
coin home ina sack to show it to Mrs.
Hosmer. It was more than they had
ever before possessed at one time. They
were afraid to trust it in an of the
| banks. After much reflection they
moved the bureau back out of the cor
| ner of their bedroom. turned back the
carpet, took up the floor and buried
the coin in the ground. They then put
down the floor, turned back the carpet
and returned the bureau to its place.
Mr.. Hosmer worked away at his trade
for two or three days, but was very fd-
ETY.. By showing the jack-plane seemed
| slow way Of making money. He began
to imagine that he was cut out for stock
Spectator. In this frame of mind he quit
work and cruised the streets about the
Office of the Stockholders. In day
or two he got "dead-point' It was
to buy Wells-Fargo at 81 and sell in
three weeks at S.. He showed Mrs.
Iosmer how they would get ST., 500
for their insigni6cantlittle $500. So
they hauled out the bureau, turned
back the carpet, took up the floor, aug
up the $500 and put itinto Wells-Far-
60, The stock went up to $11O, and
then began to go back. "No matter"
said Hosmer, "thev will soon begin
work, and then we shall see her boom"
-" Yes, she'll boom them family said
Mrs. HOsmer, trying to smile. Down.
down crawled the stock; then, like
thunder-clap, came an assessment of so
cents. The stock is now down to 20
cents, and astride of it sits the 50-cents
assessment. Peace has fled the home
of the Hosmers. The husband says
that the trouble began with the wife's
dream, while the wife says they were
all right until the husband got that "big
point" So the war goes on. Neither
can approach the bureauin the corner,
Or even look that way, without thinking
of what was once SO snugly buried be-
meath it, and their mutual upbraidings
break out afresh. Now we hear that
each has applied for a divorce from the
other. @
