gus Falls by Deputy John Malmberg
Of Atw ater.
This was the fourth time Mr.. Carl
son was committed to the hospital for
insane, the three previous times being
In 's7, '99 and '02. These attacks were
sll of short duration, however, and
each time he was discharged in much
improved condition. The symptoms
OF his last attack came on a few days
ago, when be became troubled with
restlessness and insomnia. He also
talked iacoherently on different topics,
particularly religion, and a. he also
showed disposition to injure those
around him, it was finally concluded
to have him examined. Ordinarily,
however, he is of quiet and un assum.
ing disposition and is perfectly
capable of taking care Ct himself.
He is man Of 40, in good physical
condition and enjoying good bodily
health. The cause of his mental dis
turbance Is not known. The ply.
sicfans which have the case in charge
feel quite hopeful in regard to his
condition and by good and careful
treatment he will no doubt soon be re-
stored to his right mind. Carlson is

Ed Mimms Up Again.

Early settlers willrecall the name
of Ed l.. Mimms, prominent in
political and financial circles in
this county a dozen or fifteen years
ago. He was a banker in Occur d.
Alene, and chairman of the Demo-
cratic county committee. In the
latter capacity he became involved
III trouble in Boomers Ferry, where
it was alleged that he attempted to
practice fraud by trying to beat
the Australian ballot law.
Later, in 1899, he shot and kill
led J. Henry Miller in a gambling
brawl in Pendleton. He was con-
victed of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary and a fine of $1,000 and 5000
costs. He had some evidence tend
ing to show self defence, also some
influential friends, and he was fin
ally pardoned.
Mimms left the pennitentiary
penniless and went to the new
gold fields at Tonopah, Nevada,
and is said to have been one OF the
first to open up the gold mines in
that camp. He struck it rich and
is now rated at close to a million
A Portland news dispatch speaks
of him as being on his way from
New York to London, with his
wife, whom he has married since
acquiring his new riches. From
poverty to a millionaire, from a
convict to a man of affairs, reads
like fiction, but such is the career
of Ed L. Mimms.
