ANOTHER VICTIM.
A Young Man Takes Hi. Own Life

A Young Man Takes His Own Life.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock,
the people of Larimer street were star
tied by the sharp report of a pistol in
the rooms Just over Col. Sprague's real
estate office, and on close inquiry it wa
ascertained that a young man named
Henry wilmot, who had rooms there,
had become tired Of battling with life's
trials and oppositions and had placed a
pistol to his left breast and fired, killing
himself instantly. 1t seem that VIII
mot, who was proprietor of the lemon
ade stand in front of Sopris' book store,
on Fifteenth street, had been sick about
two weeks with a fever, but he con-
tended with the attending physician
that he was troubled with the heart
disease and was surely going to die,
yesterday, and for some strange reason
he aided the disease to keep his word
good by shooting himself through the
heart. The deceased was a young mar
about % years of age and had been in
Denver n few months. Coroner Nc
Hatton took the body in charge and it
now lies at Valleys undertaking estab-
lishment awaiting orders from friends

been washed of. From some hiding
place in her tatters she took out q piece
Of buckskin with o small amount OF gold
and black sand tied up in 1t. This she
united, placed In 1t the dust she had
Just panned out. and returned 1t to its
former hiding place among her rags.
Looking around TO see where the dirt
came from, several Indian braves and
boys were observed digging and scratch
ing in the old dumps lying near by.
The braves get the dirt and the squaws
do the panning out. A fair division OF
labor. except that the braves take all the
dust after it Is panned out. These sharp.
eyed sons Of the sagebrush can tell Q
piece Of rock with any amount OF gold q
great deal quicker than the average rock
sharp. and they can knock the spots out
OF him making an estimate Of its worth.
The dumps are picked over, and every
piece Of rich rock, no matter how small,
Is saved. pounded up and washed out.
In this way the Indians around Bodie
manage to get respectable little sums for
poker playing purposes. The gold dust
thus obtained they dispose Of to mer-
chants and assaysrs in town. and as o
rule drive pretty sharp bargains In SO
doing. I. N. Luther 4 Co.. assayers,
buy a large proportion Of the gold taken
out by the Indians. They have pur.
chased . considerable amount Of gold
during the past Summer from this
source.
