While her family feared that
she had drowned herself in the
Mississippi river, Mildred s. Ed:
ling, a young woman at Brainerd,
Mimi, was concealed in the at
tic of her home for three days
and nights without, food or water.
Miss Edling, 20 years of age,
residing at 615 South Sixth st.,
Brainerd, has been afflicted with
nervous prostration for some
months. Some time, ago she
jumped into the Mississippi river,
presumably in an attempt to com
NIT suicide, but when She struck
the water she swan downstream,
instead of sinking to the bottom,
and was rescued from q sandbar
in shallow water, where she
lodged after going some distance.
Friday afternoon, Aug. 2, Miss
Mildred's mother found a note,
saying that the girl intended to
take her own life. - A quick search
! failed to- find her in the house.
The alarm was given and a wider
hunt was made. All the remain
der Of Friday and all day Satur-
day searching parties were organ
lied and sent here and there.
Knowing of the previous at
tempt at self-destruction by
drowning, the distracted family
quickly assumed that the poor girl
had gone to. the river a second
time,: therefore the stream was
dragged in search of the body,
but without result.
Sunday, Aug. 4, Mr.. Nelson and
bloodhound were brought, from
St: Louis county. The dog was
taken through the house and then
into the yard. He followed trail
through a swamp and to the east
bank of the river. Going on the
west bank the animal failed to
pick UP the scent All this was
considered still further evidence
that Mildred had drowned her
self. ..-.~- ...-
