INsANE.-Most old Nevadans will re-
collect Edward Estes, who formerly lived
in Austin, White Pine and Phoebe. It
appears from notice published in the
Carson and Virginia papers that he is
hopelessly insane and attempted to COM
NIT suicide. 1t is thought he will recover
from the wounds inflicted by himself,
but no hope exists of a restoration of his
mental faculties. The following notice
respecting him appeared in the Carson
papers: "A man named Edward Estes,
formerly owner of mill in Gold canyon,
near Dayton, and mine owner in early
days in White Pine, arrived here some
weeks since in apparently destitute
circumstances. For some time he has
been supported by the Masons. Yester-
day be was missed from his hotel, and
this morning word was brought that he
was at u cabin several miles north of
town and evidently insane. The Masons
Immediately sent parties after him and
be was found in the cabin, the door of
which was barricaded, with his throat
terribly cut with pocket-knife. which
he still held in his hand. Medical assist
ance was summoned and his wounds
sewed up. 1t is thought he will recover,
but medical examination proves him to
ba insane and he will be taken to the
asylum at Woodbridge.
