Frank Walters

I came across this newspaper article while doing other researches:
1897 October 9; The Miner, (Nelson,B.C.)

TAKEN TO THE ASYLUM

Frank Walters imagines he is pursued by enemies.
Constable Ince (1) returned this week from a trip to New Westminster where he went to place Frank Walters in the insane asylum. During the trip Walters made three attempts to end his existence and would probably have succeeded in doing so had it not been for the watchfulness of the constable. While on the boat between Robson  and Arrowhead, (Slideshow about)  Walters attempted twice to jump into the lake and once had one leg over the side in the act of springing when his custodian hauled him back. while on the train he endeavored to jump off while it was going at full speed.
Walters is a native of Hamburg, Germany and as far as known, has no friends in this country. He was employed up the lake as a wood cutter for West and Emerson (2) and during a spell of sickness was brought to the hospital at Nelson. While there he developed insanity and it was decided to send him to the asylum. He labors under the hallucination that he is constantly pursued by enemies and that his life is in danger.
