James Gallagher - Colorado Springs Gazette - June 24, 1999 - Man known to his friends as retired hobo dies at 85 by Susan Warmbrunn. James Gallagher's obituary form offered a one-word description of his life: hobo. His death June 12 at 85 ended a lifetime riding the rails, carrying the baggage of a personal tragedy he only hinted at to friends. "He was a retired hobo," said Carolyn Gudjonsson, who took Gallagher into her home during the last days of his life. "He loved to go in the car. He loved to travel any place. "I bet he was a pip when he was young." Gallagher was a man with hair as white as bone, with a passion for fresh strawberries, pretty women and old-time trains, friends say. Little is known of his past. He was born in 1913 in Altoona, Pa., and grew up on a farm near the 150-year-old railroad town. A large chunk of his life is unaccounted for until about 30 years ago, when he ended up in Colorado, diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and mentally retarded. He spent about seven years in the state hospital in Pueblo and 22 years in a Springs nursing home. When Gallagher suffered congestive heart failure about a year and a half ago, guardianship was given to the Arc, formerly the Association for Retarded Citizens. The Arc then moved Gallagher into a house with two other mentally handicapped people. Staff member Gudjonsson worked there with Gallagher and decided to take him home with her when the lease wasn't renewed. "Jimmy had just been the light of my life for over a year and half," said Gudjonsson. He didn't talk much about his days riding trains. Sometimes, someone would ask him about a scar, Gudjonsson said, and Gallagher would answer: "Oh, that's when I got thrown off the train." He rarely spoke of a family lost long ago. He said he married a woman named Oma in Hot Springs, Calif., in 1933 and they had three children together. She died and the babies were taken to the orphanage. "I said: 'Is that when you started riding the trains?'" recalled Gudjonsson. "He said: 'Yes.' Then he cried. So I didn't ask anymore." At the time of Gallagher's family crisis, in the depths of the Depression, many men roamed the country on trains looking for work. Gallagher never lost his love of trains or the hometown he hadn't seen in so many years. Gallagher liked to sit in Gudjonsson's car, the motor silent - "so I can go to Pennsylvania in my mind," he told her. Although he apparently had no relatives who knew where he was, Gallagher found a family in Gudjonsson's house, among her many grandchildren. After visiting her house in the wide-open spaces of Fountain, Gallagher told an Arc staff person: "I'm going home to the farm." Services will be at 11 a.m. Friday Nolan Funeral Home Chapel, 225 N. Weber St., 632-7608. Burial will be private.

Rocky Mountain News 12-1-1881 At the State House Some time since Governor Pitkin appointed three physicians, J. W. Dawson, M. D., T. D. Palmer, M. D. and F. P. Blake, M. D., to examine into the mental condition of William Klaiven and John Gallagher, convicts confined in the Colorado State Penitentiary. Drs. Dawson and Palmer having, in company with the other physicians, made a careful examination of the prisoners, report the said convicts insane and that they should be removed to the State Insane Asylum, as they cannot be properly taken care of in the penitentiary. Dr. Blake, the other physician, makes a minority report, in which he admits the insanity of Gallagher, but says he is not ready to give an opinion on the insanity of William Klaiven. The Superintendent of the Insane Asylum has examined into the condition of the two and says he has no doubt that they are insane. Governor Pitkin has accordingly ordered both Gallagher and Klaiven removed to the Insane Asylum.

Rocky Mountain News 8-25-1895 Treatment of Insane Brother of a Patient Tells a Thrilling Story of the Sufferings of an Inmate Complaint has been lodged against the county hospital officials for the alleged ill-treatment of one Alex Gabarino, who was taken thither a week ago, being afflicted with a mild form of insanity coupled with sickness. Friday afternoon he was removed from the institution by his brother, and according to the latter's story the patient has been subjected to severe treatment. Garbarino's face has become, in some manner, perforated with small holes, and various bruises on his cheeks evidence rough treatment. His body is injured in several places and his condition is 50 percent worse than at the time he was placed in the hospital. It is also said that he was confined for some time in a dark, damp cellar along with raving maniacs which materially changed the man's afflications to the same condition. The county hospital was visited yesterday for an explanation. The physician in charge strongly denied the charge, saying that the man was absolutely a maniac when he was brought there, being ordered committed to the hospital by the court. He had been there just a week, during which time he was almost continually raving. He was put in muffs to prevent injury to himself, but in some manner Friday afternoon fell against the bedpost striking on his face, which evidently caused the bruises. It was also denied that the man was kept in a cellar, it being alleged that he was given the best of treatment possible under the circumstances. The physicians are at a loss to account for the punctures in Garbarino's face, but it is probably attributable to his disease more than treatment.

The complaint was filed byt eh residents of Portland at which place he has been living. He imagined all the cattle and horses were his children and would not let any one come near them. According to the law, Garblino will probably be deported to his native country as he has not become a subject of the United States.

Fort Collins Weekly Courier 3-11-1916 Two Murder Cases are Set for Trial Two Divisions of District Court To Be Held Garcia's Attorney Wants Him in Asylum, Ryan Trial on March 20 and Tom Watton's Trial on March 15. Two of the three murder cases now on the district court docket will be tried early this month and the third may be tried if the court refuses a motion which has been filed. The trial of W.L. Ryan, which has attracted much attention on account of the supreme court ordering a retrial of the issues, will come up on March 20. There had been talk of asking for a change of venue, but this did not develop. Judge Strong in setting the trial docket ordered the case up for March 20 and appointed Judge Rhodes to defend again. A large number of extra jurors will be summoned to enable the attorneys to agree on twelve men. The trial of Tom Watton was set for March 15. Watton was brought into court and entered a plea of not guilty. L.R. Temple was appointed to defend. The case of Laura Garcia, the murderer of Policeman Brockman, took a new angle today. Judge Garbutt, who has handled this case from the start, filed an application with the court to have Garcia sent to an insane asylum, to be kept there until he shall become sane enough to defend. Judge Strong announced that he would hear the application on March 27.

Fort Collins Courier 2-2-1920 Larimer County Prisoner Declared InsaneLauro Garcia, the Mexican who several years ago was sentenced to death but later committed to life imprisonment for the murder of Policeman Brockman of Fort Collins, has been declared insane. A special medical board was appointed by Governor Shoup at the request of Warden Tynan to pass upon the sanity of 43 inmates of the state penitentiary; 26 prisoners were found insane and they will be committed to the asylum at Pueblo at a later date. The Brockman murder excited high feeling in this city for several days. Garcia in his flight was wounded by a Union Pacific watchman but avoided arrest until the following day when he was apprehended on the motor near La Salle. Efforts were made to prove him insane at the time of his trial but he was sentenced to death, the sentence being later set aside and a new trial ordered. He was sent to the penitentiary under a life sentence. James Bulger, founder of the Bulger Colony, was also declared insane by the board.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities.

Telluride Daily Journal 3-3-1908 Garlinger Found Insane Charles Garlinger, who was brought down from the Liberty Bell mine Saturday on account of insanity, was tried and duly convicted in the county court yesterday and committed to the charge of Sheriff Fitzpatrick who took him to Pueblo this morning. Garlinger has worked on the Liberty Bell mine for three or four years and of late has kept aloof from the other men, but being a good workman no one paid much attention to him, although it was known that he was a little peculiar. His mania seemed to be money and he had saved up considerable of it, having a certificate of deposit in the Bank of Telluride for $100 and $500 in Denver Banks, besides having sent a good deal to Hamburg, Germany, and it is believed he has money hidden away somewhere.

At the sheriff's office, under the cross-questioning of Deputy District Attorney Martin, Charles Gasmann, the chef at Cook's restaurant, who was arrested in connection with the attack on Miss Elsie Shannon, who was stabbed in the back as she was walking to the home of C. E. Coulehan, broke down and confessed that he was guilty. He did not know the girl, he said, and had absolutely no motive for attacking her. He said that he could not explain, except by saying that a strange feeling came upon him. His confession strengthens the belief that he is irrational although Sheriff Buster said that he thought Gasmann might be shamming. If he could get himself committed to the insane asylum it would be but a short time, in all probability, before he would be released.

Denver Evening Post 7-9-1899 Impeaches Hospital Food Mad Albert Gasser Writes Why He Is at Large Albert Gasser, a crazy man, escaped from the County hospital and now, as evidenced by a letter-head, hiding somewhere in Wyoming, has written a curious letter to the city health department, in which he charges that the food given to the sick of the County hospital is infected with rabies. In the letter was a tiny sack containing some butter-beans, which, Gasser says, contain the rabies very abundantly. They are from the County hospital, so he says, and he wants the health authorities to examine them to find the dread disease, adding naively that if the health department doesn't find the poison somebody else will. Gasser also states that the food wears a blue collar and is soaked with vitriol, thus producing, in his imagination, the rabies. The letter is rambling in the extreme and hard to understand, and from the mixture of French and German the writer is probably a native of Alsace or Lorraine. He says at the end of his letter that he is not insane and never was, but that he has lost his family and everything else and wants someone to help him recover them. The County hospital authorities declare that Gasser is a harmless lunatic, who was formerly an inmate, but in some way escaped. His hallucination is that all food given him contains rabies.
Gasser, Alphonse
Denver Evening Post 5-2-1899 For Insanity Examination of Four Persons Believed to Be Mentally Unsound Three Will Go to the Asylum Alphonse Gasser's paranoic impression was belief in the scheme that everybody is in league to poison him, and today he is an officially adjudged lunatic and will go to Pueblo to stay in the state insane asylum. He, together with three others, were examined yesterday in the county court concerning their mental condition. It was brought out in the evidence that Gasser was once employed in the Brown Palace hotel, and there he aroused suspicion by declaring that the head steward was poisoning the meat given to the guests at table, and particularly Gasser. After that he served at the University club, where he excited similar apprehensions. At home he said that people had put poison in the well, and he pumped all day, emptying it. The next step of his insane idea was that the poison was being put in the city reservoir, and this annoyed him greatly. He believes a certain individual is seeking his life, and in the circumstance Dr. Pershing of the county hospital thought it safest for him to be under the supervision of the authorities at Pueblo.

Joe Gaura of Oak Creek was adjuged insane by the court Tuesday afternoon and was taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo Wednesday morning by Deputy Sheriff Emory Clark. Gaura lost his mind gradually after his wife left him. For the past week or two he has been totally irresponsible. He claimed that he was going to be elected president, that he had millions of dollars and one of his pet schemes was to make Oak Creek bigger than London. He planned to level all the hills around and erect thousands of brick houses and as he said Every Hunk is to have a house. He even asked permission of the town marshal to go out and shoot a man he claims stole his wife

He stated that he had a lively time with his charge as he seemed to become more demented the farther he went. He broke away from the deputy on the viaduct near the depot and ran down the steps but the officer finally caught him. He took him to the asylum as soon as he reached Pueblo and when he turned him over to an attendant, the deputy sheriff said This is the president of the United States. Just turn the building here over to him. The official said that he was glad to meet him and replied, God Almighty is upstairs. I will take him right up and put him with him. Gaura exclaimed, All right, all right and the last the deputy saw of him he was tearing up the stairs to make plans with God Almighty to stop the war.

Oak Creek Times 7-20-1916 Oak Creek Man Dies In Asylum at Pueblo Word was received last week that Joe Gaura, who was adjudged insane in the county court on February 8, 1916, had died on July 6. Gaura became insane from brooding over family troubles and imagined that he was to be the savior of his country, thinking he had been appointed to take the place of President Wilson. The Routt county lunacy commission, consisting of Drs. Willett and Dodge, acted on his case and found him to be a hopeless lunatic, and at the time concurred in the belief that he could not live longer than a few months. Their opinion was borne out by the death of Gaura. The Pilot.

Steamboat Pilot 2-9-1916 Oak Creek Man Crazed by War Joe Gaura Found to be Lunatic Before Routt County Lunacy Commission and Will be Taken to Asylum Another far reaching effect of the European war was brought to light Monday evening when Sheriff Chivington brought from Oak Creek Joe Gaura, who had become a hopeless lunatic from pondering over the horrors of the war. When the train from Denver stopped at Oak Creek Sheriff Chivington, who was returning from taking the recently convicted prisoners to Canon City and Buena Vista, heard an altercation in one of the adjoining cars and on investigation found that the trainmen were having trouble with Gaura, who imagined that he was president of the United States, and insisted on riding on the train. He was taken into custody at once by the sheriff and brought to Steamboat. The Routt County Lunacy commission, Drs. Dodge and Willett, sat upon the case Tuesday afternoon at the sheriff's office and Deputy District Attorney Ray Monson conducted the examination. Attorney A. A. Mann appeared for Gaura, and A. H. Chivington was the only witness. The questions of the alienists brought out the facts that Gaura had brooded over family troubles and the war until his mind had become unhinged and, besides imagining that he is the president of the United States, he thinks that he is the son of Sheriff Chivington, and when told that Undersheriff E. E. Clark was President Wilson, whom he had been abusing and vilifying, he recognized him as such at once and promptly apologized for the things he had said. He imagines that a German ship has bombarded the city of Washington and killed a million Americans, and though an Austrian, bursts into tears at the mere mention of the imaginary slaughter of the Americans. He spoke of a telegram he had received from President Wilson and claims that he is well acquainted with Franz Josef, king of Austria, and that being president himself he knows all of the European rulers. Gaura is 34 years old and has been in the United States for twelve years. He secured his final papers of citizenship last spring and has been employed in the coal mines of Colorado ever since he came to this country. He has been married for about ten years and nearly two years ago his wife secured a divorce from him. Soon after the divorce she was married to M. Possig, the couple going to Wyoming to have the ceremony performed. Gaura had been a hard worker and had gathered together some town property at Oak Creek. Most of this he made over to his wife, but still is the owner of a house and lot in what is known as the Third addition to Oak Creek. Brooding over the troubles with his wife and reading sensational accounts of the war is the cause of his loss of mind as in some things he seems perfectly rational, telling of methods of mining in his native country in an intelligent manner, and of his experiences while a miner for the Moffat Coal company at Oak Creek. During the labor troubles at Oak Creek, Gaura, after many months of idleness occasioned by the holding out of the strikers, finally returned to work, and since that time has been practically ostracized by all but a few of his countrymen. This made him morose and taciturn, and though not a hard drinker he has drunk rather constantly for more than a year. He will be taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo and it may be that his reason may be restored within a few months by being separated from the old surroundings and placed in a new environment.

Joe Gaura Routt County Sentinel July 14, 1916 Local News of the Week Judge Morning of the County court has been notified by the state insane asylum at Pueblo of the death of Joseph Gaura last week Thursday. Gaura, who had long been a resident of Oak Creek, became insane because of brooding over trouble with his wife, and was several months ago sent to the asylum. Oak Creek Times July 20, 1916 Oak Creek Man Dies In Asylum at Pueblo Word was received last week that Joe Gaura, who was adjudged insane in the county court on February 8, 1916, had died on July 6. Gaura became insane from brooding over family troubles and imagined that he was to be the savior of his country, thinking he had been appointed to take the place of President Wilson. The Routt county lunacy commission, consisting of Drs. Willett and Dodge, acted on his case and found him to be a hopeless lunatic, and at the time concurred in the belief that he could not live longer than a few months. Their opinion was borne out by the death of Gaura. The Pilot.

Routt County Sentinel 2-11-1916 Joe Gaura Found Insane Joe Gaura, an Austrian miner who has been a resident of Oak Creek for the past five years, was brought to Steamboat Monday night by Sheriff Chivington, and the next day, after an examination by the Lunacy commission, was found to be insane. An order was entered in the County court committing him to the state insane asylum at Pueblo, and Wednesday morning Undersheriff Emory E. Clark started for that point to deliver him to that institution. Gaura, who has been known as an industrious worker, has long brooded over his troubles with his former wife, Agnes Gaura, to whom he was deeply attached but from whom he secured a divorce in July, 1914. He has recently believed that he was the president of the United States, the entire German army, and various other personalities, and is also said to have declared that he (is) going to kill the man whom his former wife married soon after their divorce.

Gayetty, William E.
Rocky Mountain News 6-24-1882 Suddenly Insane A News Agent on the South Park Road Loses His Reason William E. Gayetty was news agent on a South Park train, having served Barkalow Brothers, who supply the trains running into Denver, in that capacity for three years or since the road first started, having run on the first train. He was a remarkably faithful employe and won the confidence and esteem of his employers in a marked degree. About a fortnight ago, however, upon returning from a trip to Leadville he threw his cash over to Mr. L. B. Hall, manager for Barkalow Brothers, and informed him that he didn't have to work, as he was now rich. His action soon confirmed Mr. Hall that the young man had lost his mind. Mr. Hall took charge of the young man and subjected him to the examination of physicians, who advised that he be sent to the insane asylum. His insanity was delusional, consisting in the belief that he was wealthy. Mr. Hall disliked the idea of having Gayetty go through the usual process of lying in jail for a number of months before going to the asylum, and concluded that as the young man had no money of his own, having been taxed to support his aged mother who resides in Baldwinsville, N. Y., it would be better to send him to his friends in the east. A subscription was started among the news agents or train boys, and other employes of Barkalow Brothers. No difficulty was experienced in raising sufficient money to pay the expense of sending Gayetty to his home in New York accompanied by a nurse, and for the return of the latter. The news agents marched and subscribed $5 each with an alacrity that showed these enterprising young men to be possessed of a goodness of heart not usually credited to them. Gayetty left for the east yesterday where he will receive needed care.

George, ?
Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 6-25-1897 Locked up as a Lunatic. But the Young Man's Mother Secured His Release. Mrs. George returned yesterday from Pueblo with the intelligence that her son is all right. A few days ago the mother learned that her son, who was making his way toward Trinidad for the purpose of securing work, had been gathered in at Pueblo by a policeman. It appears from Mrs. George's statement that they have queer ways of doing business down in the valley. Evidently the state insane asylum is considered the proper place for all suspicious characters, so Mr. George, who was walking around the depot, was promptly arrested and after a brief examination adjudged insane and hustled out among the lunatics. If the young man was not insane before the rather unpleasant associations had a tendency to make him so, for his protestations of sanity were considered by the astute officials to be one of the sure symptoms of mental aberration. When Mrs. George learned of her son's trouble she applied to County Judge Krell here for assistance and armed with a letter from that official she went to Pueblo, and was successful in securing the release of her boy.

Rocky Mountain News 11-20-1889 An Insane Engineer Leadville, Colo., Nov. 19 The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers had Judge Phelps of the county court investigate into the case of H. B. Germain who, it was claimed, is insane. The judge found the case a clear one of insanity, and the unfortunate man will be taken care of by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of which he is a member. His insanity is caused by a stroke of paralysis. Germain is 40 years of age, a married man and has a wife and one child.
German, H.B.
Carbonate Chronicle 11-25-1889 Adjudged Insane A Railroad Man Found to Be Demented After Examination by the Doctors Tuesday afternoon Drs. A. W. Eyer and S. P. Johns, at the request of several members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Brakemen, examined one of their number, H. B. German as to his sanity. For some time past Mr. German has shown signs of being insane, in so much that he could remember nothing, and acted in a very strange manner. The doctors found that his mind was gone, and recommended that he be sent to the asylum at Pueblo. Some years ago the patient had a paralytic stroke, and to this fact, in a great measure, the doctors ascribe his present malady. Mr. German is perfectly harmless, resides at 829 Poplar street, and has a wife and one child. The members of the association, to which he belongs, are giving him all the attention necessary, and doing everything to make him comfortable. He was a brakeman on the Denver and Rio Grande railway for a number of years.

Geske, Troy
Troy Geske Pueblo Chieftain August 28, 2010 Four Nurses Back on Duty After Death at State Hospital Six Mental Health Institute Staff Were Put on Leave After Aug. 10 Incident Four of five nurses placed on paid administrative leave after the death of a patient at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo are back on the job, officials said Friday. A sixth nurse and a state hospital police officer also were placed on paid leave after Troy Geske, 41, died Aug. 10 at the hospital. "I just know (the four nurses) are back as of (Friday)," Liz McDonough, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Human Services said Friday. "We're not releasing their names. This is a fairly common practice when you need to conduct an investigation." The state hospital falls under the human services umbrella. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer wouldn't call Geske's death suspicious. "It's considered under investigation," he said. "I think the question at hand is, was his death due to positional asphyxia? It's when a person is in a particular position in that their breathing is compromised." Geske's cause of death is pending results of a final autopsy, which hasn't been completed, Kramer said. Pueblo Chieftain September 2, 2010 CMHIP Patient Death Case Can Go Forward District Attorney's Office Can Collect Evidence, Judge Says A district judge on Wednesday authorized that evidence be collected for the recent in-custody death of a patient at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. Judge David Crockenberg signed a search warrant allowing the Pueblo District Attorney's office to collect evidence in the Aug. 10, death of Troy Allen Geske, 41. According to the court document, Geske was in treatment at the state hospital and had to be restrained. He was allegedly put in a "four-point restraint" or a "prone restraint" where "the hands are restrained behind the subject's back and the subject's feet are restrained and attached to the subject's hands." The document said Geske was put in this restraint "laying face down," and as a result he "may have died from positional asphyxiation." "If face down the subject is unable to roll to their side without assistance," the document said. "The inability to roll off one's chest and abdomen and take the pressure of their own weight off their lungs and diaphragm to breathe can cause asphyxiation." Geske was 5 foot 8 inches tall and weighed 265 pounds. The document said that video exists of Geske in the restraints. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said he received results of Geske's final autopsy on Wednesday, but those reports had not been reviewed. "Final autopsy has been completed and needs to be reviewed and put in perspective with toxicology results and investigation results. I will be meeting with the district attorney's office to discuss those findings," Kramer said. Since Geske's death, six hospital staff members have been placed on paid leave five nurses and a hospital police officer. As of last week, four of the nurses had returned to work. A phone call was not returned to a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Human Services, which oversees the state hospital. Citing federal patient privacy laws Eunice Wolther, spokeswoman for the state hospital, would not release information about Geske's treatment or background. The names of the staff members have not been released. District Attorney Bill Thiebaut late Tuesday confirmed that his office is looking into Geske's death. Pueblo Chieftain September 26, 2010 State Patient Who Tried Suicide Dies A state hospital patient who attempted suicide earlier this week died Saturday. Edward Benge, 49, died at 9:25 a.m. at Parkview Medical Center, according to the Pueblo County Coroner's Office. Benge tried to hang himself with a bedsheet early Monday in his room at the forensic unit at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. Dave Santos, an investigator with the coroner's office, said an autopsy is scheduled to determine Benge's exact cause of death. Benge's death marks the second of a patient at the state hospital in as many months. In August, Troy Geske, 41, died after staff restrained him to a table. The Colorado Department of Human Services, which oversees the state hospital, announced an independent audit of the facility last week to review facility policy and procedures aimed at the care and treatment of patients. Liz McDonough, a Human Services spokeswoman, said the audit was planned after Geske's death.

Giles is well known in this county as a prospector and miner. In January, 1894, he transferred the Giles mine at Ward to M. L. Leubbin for a consideration of $1,600. Since that time he has been working alone on a property of his own in Spring gulch, living in a miserable hovel near by. He has spent but little of the purchase money and claims that a $1,000 bill which he received from Leubbin was stolen soon after he received it. A portion of the money, $247, was found sewed in the clothes which he had on when arrested. It is believed that his derangement has been induced by exposure.

Gilmore, Ella
admitted 2-8-1914 from Colo. Springs, Co - Woodcroft Hospital
Gilmore, Stanley
Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 10-21-1887 Adjudged Insane. The attraction on the court bulletin during the day was the arraignment of Stanley Gilmore on a lunatico de enquirendo, the complaint having been filed by friends, whose attention for some time past has been attracted to the unfortunate man by his strange and irrational conduct, the latter portion of which resulted in his being arrested and placed in jail on a charge of horse stealing, the particulars of which are found in another column. The action created quite an agitation among those who had known him as an honest, upright and industrious man, and an inquiry into the case was instituted at once. Dr. Eyer was consulted, and after a personal diagnosis of the case, pronounced it one of well-defined insanity. Complaint was made in accordance with this, and Judge Phelps took the matter in hand. At 10 o'clock in the morning the unfortunate man was conducted into the court room, a jury having been empanelled. Considerable interest was manifested in the examination, and the lobby was filled with spectators. C. W. Crews was the first witness sworn. He conducts a dry goods store on East Sixth Street. Gilmore had been in his employ for two years, and was started in business by his employer at Gilman. His conduct became so alarming that Mr. Crews relived him of the establishment. He was of the opinion that the defendant was demented. Mr. Whitman, father-in-law of the defendant, offered in support of the theory of insanity various incompatibilities, saying that Gilmore imagined himself a jeweler, and that he had taken a clock to pieces, and trashed the machinery to repair it. Upon one occasion he had moved his trunk to an abandoned cabin and left it there until his friends had rescued it. Mrs. Whitman testified to his flighty conduct and incoherent yarns concerning mammoth mercantile interests in the east. Ira Newell, a clerk at Mc Robbie's testified to having been raised with Gilmore, and said he was unlike his former self. He had known him as a bright, intelligent young man. Willis Loomis testified to inconsistency of his general conduct, mentioning several things that pointed to lunacy. P. A. Arnold, the Poplar street butcher, had noticed his irrational antics, Gilmore having told him that he had been thrown from a horse and landed on his head. Harry Canfield, druggist, testified to having compounded prescriptions for the defendant for nervous ills, and told how Gilmore passed from one topic to another until he led his audience into a very whirlpool of bewilderment. The defendant being placed upon the stand, said he had been ill for six or eight months, and that he was not now as capable of protecting his business as he had been prior to that period. He preferred to go to the asylum at Pueblo than to undertake to do business. This concluded the testimony, which was very affecting, and which elicited frequent expressions of sympathy from the spectators. The jury deliberated but a moment when a verdict of insanity was returned. The unfortunate man will be sent to Pueblo at once with the hope that his reason will be restored.

Leadville Herald Democrat 10-21-1887 Gilmore's Nemesis About the 13th of July last, Mr. Dennis Nealon missed a small buckskin pony that he had owned, and thinking that he had been stolen, advertised very extensively for him. He employed a party by the name of Stanley Gilmore to aid him in his search for the missing horse, paying about $75 in livery bills that Gilmore alleges he had contracted. The most peculiar part of the affair is that the party whom Nealon had employed to help him find the horse is the man who stole him. The following are the facts of the case: The horse had strayed over into South park and had been taken up by Mr. Spurlock at his rancho. Mr. Spurlock says that there was about fifty feet of rope dragging from the animal's neck. Gilmore found that the horse was there, demanded him and sold him to W. H. Dunfield, who owns a dairy near the city. Gilmore says that Dunfield got me drunk over in the South park, drugged me and then made me sign a paper purporting to be a bill of sale for the animal, and I didn't get a cent for him. These facts were learned by Mr. Nealon, who traced the horse down to Gypsum's ranch and found him at Abbott's ranch yesterday morning. He then swore out a warrant for Gilmore's arrest and had him placed in jail last evening on a charge of horse stealing. Mr. Nealon said that he had spent more than the horse is worth to get him, but that he was determined to find him and arrest the thief and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

Leadville Herald Democrat 10-23-1887 A Strange Transaction One of the most complicated cases that has been presented to Justice Quigley since he began to warm an official chair, is that of the arrest of John Gilmore, a young married man on the east side, who has been guilty of some of the most insane transactions ever reported to the authorities. His hitherto irreproachable character, diligence and industry are in violent conflict with a presumption that he had any motive whatever in the matter, and that he was lured on to the offense by the demon of dementia. The particulars of the offense, which has not yet been ventilated before the court, are about as follows: Some time ago he took it into his cranium that the comforts of his home were not complete without a milch cow. He discussed the idea with his young wife, who, in her devotion to him, was probably the last to see that he was being swallowed up by an awful affliction. Decided upon the cow question, Gilmore is said to have started out in search of a desirable one, and resolved to trade his team of horses, one of which is valued at $200, for the horned animal. He is said to have then entered his neighbor's stable in broad daylight, and to have taken his time in removing the horse. With his team and the neighbor's roadster he started out on the expedition, the object of which was to secure a cow. In his meanderings he is said to have met W. H. Dunfield, who conducts a milk ranch near the race course. There he found a cow that suited his fancy, and, it is claimed, offered the three horses, two of which he owned and the other belonging to his neighbor, for it. The proposition was seized, and for a cow that could not exceed in value $40, he exchanged horse-flesh that was worth, at a conservative estimate, no less than $300. With his bargain in hand, Gilmore started for his dwelling, and arrived there to be met with a warrant for his arrest. The transaction soon traveled to his friends, who saw the lunacy of the deal at once, and medical skill was called in. An examination was made of the prisoner and Doctor Eyer pronounced him crazy as a bed bug. Since then the inconsistency of his conduct for weeks preceding his arrest has flashed before those with whom he has been most intimately associated, and a charge of lunacy has been placed against him. It is very probable that under the circumstances all parties to the transaction will feel disposed to set aside the deal if not the court will be called upon to do so. The young wife is almost distracted in her grief, while relatives are doing everything within their power to save both from further humiliation.

Leadville Herald Democrat 10-23-1887 A Sad Announcement Sheriff Joe Lamping left this morning for Pueblo with Stanley Gilmore, the young man who was adjudged insane a few days ago by eminent medical testimony in the courts. This is one of the saddest cases that has ever been brought into public notice, as the young man has always been known as a phenomenally bright (man) in both a social and business sense. He had a young wife with a three months old child who will mourn his absence. While in his right senses young Gilmore was the trusted confidant of one of the largest merchants in the city, and his unlooked for misfortune was an unpleasant surprise to his most intimate friends. It is hoped that the quiet of the asylum at Pueblo will have the effect of bringing him back to his right mind, and that he will soon be able to attend to his usual duties.

Rocky Mountain News 10-22-1887 Leadville Paragraphs Stanley Gilmore was adjudged insane in the County court to-day and was sent to the asylum at Pueblo this evening. He was arrested a few days ago on a charge of stealing a neighbor's horse, but the performance was so unnatural and in such utter conflict with his past character that an inquiry was made into his mental condition. The evidence all pointed to dementia, and the jury, without leaving their seats, adjudged him insane. The affair has created considerable of a sensation as the unfortunate man has always borne an excellent character.

Glavo, Tviona
Telluride Daily Journal 1-28-1903 Simply a Crazy Polander A couple of weeks ago a sensational telegram was sent broadcast over the country telling of the arrest of the supposed murderer of Arthur Collins, at Idaho Springs. The only foundation for the suspicion seems to be the fact that the crazy creature claims to have once worked in the mines of this vicinity. The fellow went into an Idaho Springs restaurant, ordered a meal, was served, and after he had eaten, was about to leave without settling; when the landlady called him down he drew a butcher knife from his pocket and attacked her. The police were summoned and he was arrested. The Gazette, of that city, says in its account of the affair: Tviona III Glavo is a Polander, twenty-three years old. He came to the United States two and a half years ago and for a time worked in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. A few months ago, he came to Colorado and worked in mines near Telluride. He was employed in the Lamartine mine, and worked one shift, when he was discharged by the superintendent for inefficiency. After losing his job at the Lamartine, Glavo came to Idaho Springs and his first business here was to purchase a butcher knife. Glavo claims that he is an anarchist and imagines that it is his divine mission to exterminate the Jews. He is under the impression that a Jew is following him, and that it is necessary for him to carry a butcher knife to protect himself against this imaginary foe. Glavo is undoubtedly insane. He is suspected of being the man who murdered Superintendent Collins of the Smuggler-Union mine at Telluride, a few weeks ago, and the fact that he worked in the mines of Telluride lends a substance to this suspicion.

Rocky Mountain News 9-10-1890 A Case of Insanity A Wildly Excited Individual Placed in Jail in Pueblo Yesterday Through Force He Imagined That a Trio of Men Entered His Room to Kill Him The Clerks of a Hotel Threatened by the Man, Who Was Armed With a Boulder Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 9 A violently insane man was arrested about 3 o'clock this morning at the Fariss hotel in this city, and after a desperate struggle with Officer O'Brien and some citizens, he was lodged in jail. He was a well dressed man of middle age and gave his name as Ben Gleason. Anything further could not be intelligently got from him, but it seems that he took a room at the hotel Sunday and retired in apparently good health. Monday morning, about 2:30 o'clock, he went down to the office and picking up a large boulder, used to keep the door open, he advanced on the clerk in a threatening manner saying that no one was going to kill him if he could help it. The clerk pacified him and sent the porter out for the police, but during his absence the man left. In his room nothing had been disturbed, but the window was open a few inches and pushed into a crack between the window and sill were two $10 bills rolled tightly up, while 15 cents was found on the floor. The man had a coupon ticket envelope in his pocket and some scraps of paper, but nothing that could lead to his identification. He said that three men went into his room to rob and kill him, and besides throwing some money out of the window he chewed up and swallowed a $20 bill. He was very violent in his cell and broke up a chair and other furniture, besides the water faucet, while his ravings and prayers were pitible to hear. A warrant has been sworn out against him on a charge of insanity in the county court.

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
A few steps down the hallway, a locked grated door on the left opened into a light and airy room fitted out with about half a dozen cots. The apartment was quiet as death, only the heavy breathing of the occupants breaking the silence. As the lock clicked and the party entered, two heads were raised displaying a pair of haggard eyes looking askance at the doctor who had disturbed them. Whole Room Full
Hello, boys, came from a corner, while a boy of 17 stepped forward with a broad grin on his features. I ain't crazy nor an ijot, either. Am I? And Bert Gleason, whom the doctors say is a natural born idiot, struck an attitude. This ward contains both paranoia and dementia patients, with an occasional imbecile. Both are, as a rule, quiet, and this accounts for their being all in one ward. Occasionally, however, a nurse comes out second best when visiting one of them

Dr. Eskridge said that there had been an arrest of development in the lad's brain.

Rocky Mountain News 12-15-1882 - Insane Day - The Unfortunates Who Were Adjudged Insane in the County Court Yesterday - The County court room was crowded almost to suffocation yesterday when the trials of the insane persons, who have been in the charge of the county for some time past, were called by Judge Harrington for final disposition. There were very few idle lookers-on among the spectators, the majority of them being either friends or relations of the persons on whom the inquisitions were being held, or mere witnesses. The unfortunates were brought into court about 11 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Charles Linton. The only one who showed any violence was Ida Strodens, and she made only feeble attempts to tear herself loose from the grasp of the officer. The other three simply watched this demented woman in silence and followed the deputy sheriff with a meek docility quite remarkable. Judge Harrington took up the case of the Strodens woman first. When the witnesses were being examined she appeared greatly agitated and positively refused to remain quiet. She tore her hat off her head and threw it from her and would have torn her hair had not the court officers promptly pinned her hands down to her side. She is only a girl in years and has been in Denver less than three months. Her story is really an affecting one. When Mrs. (Miss?) Strodens came to Denver she was enceinte and about to give birth to a child. Immediately upon her arrival she made application and was granted admission to the home for the friendless. There she gave birth to her child after three days confinement, and soon after its delivery she became delirious. Her condition did not improve any although she was given the best of medical treatment and she was soon a raving maniac. Mrs. Davidson, matron of the home, was finally compelled to take the baby from its mother. The next step taken was to remove her to the county hospital, where she has been for some months. The jury found a verdict of insanity and Judge Harrington issued a commitment to the state asylum. Agnes Meagher also met with the same fate at the hands of the jury, but bore it without a murmur. She is a remarkably fine looking young lady and her demented condition cannot be accounted for by her friends. Harriet Ann Godfrey, the wife of a thrifty carpenter, who has been closely confined in the county hospital for some time, was next tried. She is the woman who some weeks ago drove the lodgers out of the Exchange block with a hatchet. Mrs. Godfrey was also adjudged insane. A twelve-year-old lad named James M. Nevin, who is in a helpless state of idiocy, was also adjudged insane and committed.

Denver Evening Post 9-26-1896 Denver's Insane in Dismal Quarters Arapahoe county, through negligence of its officials, pays thousands of dollars annually to the state insane asylum for the care of its insane and the people never receive the benefit of the money expended. By the manner in which the state authorities permit the state asylum to be conducted they are responsible to the people of Arapahoe county for taking their thousands and giving them but slight benefits in return. Superintendent Thoms of the Pueblo asylum says Arapahoe county is entitled to but 33 per cent of the patients in the institution, and that its allowance is already present within the walls. The county commissioners of Arapahoe county know that the people whom they represent contribute 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum, yet they crowd their insane into small, badly-lighted cells in the basement of the county hospital instead of exerting sufficient endeavors to force the state asylum to receive patients for whom the institution has been paid. The hospital is now sheltering twenty-five insane patients when it should be sheltering none. There are no facilities and what means are at the disposal of the superintendent and medical staff are inadequate to cope with the constantly increasing number of lunatics. The hospital authorities are struggling nobly but it is a severe tax upon them and the county. It is a shame of many appealing voices (?) that the insane of the county are so poorly taken care of and that a dangerous lunatic should be made to suffer irritation beyond measure because of a lack of better quarters
In room No. 1 (of the Arapahoe County hospital) on the first floor, women occupy the four cells and three are probably the worst patients at present in the building
Some of the Worst Cases In a nearby cell Kate Godfrey is locked in. She is an old gray-haired woman of fully three score and ten
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: Kate Godfrey
Of this number four are dangerous to others as well as themselves. They are Ethel Jackson, Godfrey, Peletier and Farrell. They are patients that require constant attention

Rocky Mountain News 11-2-1896 Amid Scenes of Horror County Hospital Is Crowded With Insane Citizens
Thereby dangles a story a narrative showing how well the county doesn't provide for her wheely citizens, and exemplifying the extra labor and unenviable experience to which the hospital attendants are subjected. The county hospital never was intended for a lunatic asylum. Never was built with the idea that under its walls would be sheltered at one time, a score and a half insane, ranging from the white-haired old lady who is simply off at times, to the wild, destructive maniac in whose diseased brain is moulded only a desire to kick, bite, glare and make a large noise. A reporter for The News took in the whole works yesterday, through the kindness of Dr. Simon, a member of the medical staff
After leaving the office in the front part of the old building yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, Dr. Simon led the way back through a hall to a small room on the right, not over well lighted or ventilated by a couple of small windows. Nothing whatever, not even a chair, occupied the room proper. In each of the four corners, however, was a fair-sized door made of wiring about the size and strength of that used in the construction of flower stands. Bolts locked by padlocks fastened the doors and prohibited the unfortunates behind them from gaining their liberty. Back of these screen doors were rooms, cubby holes, in fact, about 6x6 feet. In them were iron bedsteads
The other three corner cells were occupied respectively by Edith Waite, Kate Godfrey and Cecelia Manson. All of them were muffled, so to speak, to protect them from doing violence to themselves. This room has been fitted up for the accommodation of patients afflicted with mania, who have to a degree quieted down, said Dr. Simon. They are not to be trusted, however. It is plainly evident that the room was never intended for frenzied occupants
A short time ago a lady from the Flower mission visited Kate Godfrey in her cell to present her with a bunch of roses. In an instant Kate knocked the lady clean across the room into one corner. You can never tell what they will do. The ratio of one insane patient to every five inmates at the hospital threatens to be increased at the rapid rate people in Denver are going daft. In no time at all the county hospital will be on a par with a lunatic asylum, unless reform measures are soon adopted.

Denver Evening Post 11-11-1896 Most Pathetic Case Among the many patients confined in the insane quarters at the county hospital the case of Mrs. Richard Silberman is especially pathetic. On the morning of October 26 the old lady, a widow of 50, created a panic among the residents of 1337 Eleventh street, where she was a tenant. They were awakened early by the sound of crashing glass and incoherent mutterings. When the police arrived it was necessary for them to force an entrance into the old lady's room. She resented the intrusion and resisted with all her strength. Placed in the city jail Mrs. Silberman speedily denuded herself of nearly every article of clothing. She was then removed to the county hospital. Here the forlorn creature occupies a little cell in an apartment containing four. Her three neighbors are all as demented as she. In the same apartment sits Mrs. Mary Knowland, a chattering idiot, whose senseless gorgon continues unceasingly. Kate Godfrey is another occupant in this abode of lunacy. At intervals she fumes and rages and when calm expatiates to her companions upon the great benefit of converting the hospital into a huge sporting resort. The woman thus coins imaginary thousands daily. Celia Manson, an angular, treacherous looking woman of 35, completes the trio of lunatics with whom the widowed Jewess hourly comes in contact.

Rocky Mountain News 11-29-1896 Local Brevities Kate Godfrey, a lunatic, will be taken from the county hospital to Pueblo to-day.
Godfrey, Mr.
Rocky Mountain News 1-22-1883 - Doom of the Daft - To Be Placed in Dungeons Unfit for Dogs - No Suitable Place Provided for the Penniless Insane - One of the most important matters which will come up before the present legislature, and which will meet the hearty support of the authorities of every county in the state, is the bill to provide for an appropriation to enlarge and complete the insane asylum at Pueblo. In its present state of incompletion the asylum will barely accommodate fifty persons, and these uncomfortably. The result of this is that the state authorities are constantly refusing to accept from counties dozens of insane persons, pleading lack of accommodations in the asylum as their excuse, and the unfortunate beings are thrown into jails, out-houses, cellars or any other disagreeable place where they can be kept with the least trouble or danger. The Arapahoe commissioners daily receive letters of appeal from the commissioners of other counties, which are not so well provided with accommodations for insane as this county, requesting them to shelter insane men and women in order that they might be given proper medical care. These letters have to be thrown aside as the commissioners of this county have more insane people on their hands than they can properly care for. There are now in the county hospital five demented inmates, who cause no end of trouble, and in order that they may not interfere with the conduct of the hospital, are treated very much in the same manner as dangerous criminals. A News reporter visited the hospital yesterday, accompanied by Mr. J. A. Shreve, chairman of the board of commissioners. The hospital buildings are two in number and are located on a little knoll just west of Broadway and on the south side of Cherry creek. Both of the buildings are good looking and substantial in appearance. Under the direction of Dr. Kelley, the resident physician, the reporter made a complete tour of the hospital. Every ward was found to be filled with men in various stages of sickness, and suffering with all kinds of diseases. In one ward in the second building are the patients suffering from acute diseases, such as pneumonia, heart disease and rheumatism. In this ward the most suffering is visible. In other wards are men suffering from broken limbs, accidents, chronic diseases, and in a ward by themselves are convalescent patients. In this way 110 men, women and children are crowded together to share the cup of misery. Among the patients who are suffering from blindness is Captain Jack Travis, who was once famous as the champion pistol shot of the country. Very little remains of this once famous man, and as he drags his bent and aged form across the ward, in which he sits continually, the observer can not help but pity him. Jack like all men who have been famous, is a character in his own way. His characteristics are excessive talking and excessive melancholy. It happened yesterday that he was attacked with a fit of melancholy and he was not in a communicative mood, but from his attendants it was learned that he tells big stories of the duels in which he acted as principal and second. In another ward there is a man named Nels Streeter, who is just recovering from the effects of a railway accident. This man had a most remarkable operation performed upon him - nothing more or less than removing two inches of the upper bone in the left arm. He now has complete use of his arm and can move his fingers just the same as if the bone had never been removed. In the same ward is a laborer named Joseph Brias suffering with frozen hands and feet. The reporter went from these scenes of misery to the basement of the institution. This is made decently comfortable by the heat from the boilers. The front portion is divided off into cells or apartments and are completely devoid of furniture of any kind. They are cold and cheerless in appearance and must be revolting to the inmates. In the first of these cells Henry O'Neil is confined. O'Neil has to be locked up constantly, and has to be kept away from beds or anything which can be destroyed. The other day he tore an iron bedstead to pieces, and during the operation cut off the front part of his nose. The wound, though a serious one, was dressed by Dr. Kelley, and is now healing up. In another cell the reporter saw an object lying on the floor curled up in a blanket and not moving. This was Ida Stroetger. She was stark naked, having torn off her clothes, and she was exposed to the cold and chill of her cell. This poor thing's condition is deplorable in the extreme. There is another insane patient in the basement named Johnson. The latter occupies a small couch and rarely ever gets up from it. An upper story room is occupied by Mrs. Godfrey, who was recently adjudged insane. And there is still another, Agnes Mears. Dr. Kelley says that the quarters provided for these poor people are not fit to be occupied by dogs, but on account of the crowded wards nothing better can be done for them. They are practically cut off from seeing the rays of the sun or anything else that is cheerful and aids in the recovery of the insane. Instead of assisting in their recovery their stay in the county hospital only makes that more improbable.

Rocky Mountain News 5-15-1894 His Mission All Right At Least Some People Will Think that an Insane Man Who Wanted to Exterminate the Cats of Christendom Not so far Wrong I have a commission from the board to kill all the cats in my neighborhood, said Tom Golden, an insane man who was locked up for safe keeping last night at the city jail. Golden has been going wrong mentally for some weeks, and has made frequent visits to the rooms of the fire and police board and to Chief of Police Armstrong. He has told them, with great seriousness, that black and white cats were following him all over the neighborhood and some of the feline tribe had even ventured to go into church with him when he was devotionally inclined. I'm doing the public a service, said he, when objecting to being locked up last night. I haven't killed any of the cats yet because, you see, they have nine lives. I have killed one eight times, though, and several of the others I know have died several deaths. Now can't I stay out long enough to finish that one cat? It's the worst one in the neighborhood. You have to live up around Thirtieth street to know just how troublesome these cats are. I am kept awake all night with them. My commission from the board is all regular; so please tell me why I am locked up? Golden's hallucination was accompanied by the use of a huge revolver. For the last week he has been going round shooting at cats in his neighborhood. Last Saturday night a neighbor invited in some company and when the guests were leaving the house Golden got sight of them and proceeded to trot out his arsenal. He fired four shots at the frightened visitors, mistaking them for cats. Golden is a brother of Sergeant Golden, one of the new police officers.

No bills were in the possession of the committee for transferring Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Walin. Hart and Clarke appear in the bill as escaped lunatics.

Goldmetzer, George
Eagle County Blade 12-24-1903 George Goldmetzer Apparently Insane On Monday complaint was made to Sheriff Farnum concerning the mental condition of George Goldmetzer. Goldmetzer for a number of years has resided at Gilman, for some time living alone in a cabin on Rock creek. Connected with the man there has always been an unconfirmed rumor that he had a wife and several children in the old country, and that he came to America on account of a murder which he committed in his native land. Of late he has been acting queerly and on Monday the case was reported to the sheriff. Sheriff Farnum investigated and put the demented man in charge of Henry Newins. Goldmetzer has been drinking heavily of late, which has doubtless aggravated his mental disorder. To the sheriff he admits having killed a man in Germany named Randall and says he can see his name written on the door and walls of his cabin. He also insists that his two daughters, who are in Germany, are living up Rock creek, besides exhibiting other evidences of being badly off. Mr. Newins, found, on taking charge of the man, that his feet had lately been badly frost bitten and on yesterday his physical and mental condition was such that County Physician Warren of Minturn was called. Dr. Warren says the man is in a bad condition mentally and is wholly incapable of caring for himself, though his feet are not seriously frozen. He told the doctor quite a different story concerning the murder, and is so irresponsible mentally that he does not recognize his own cabin. A complaint charging him with lunacy will be filed in the County court.
Goldmetzer, George
Eagle County Blade 12-31-1903 Goldmeitzer Adjudged Insane George Goldmeitzer of Gilman, an account of whose derangement appeared in these columns last week, was arrested on a lunacy charge by Sheriff Farnum last Saturday, and a hearing was held before the County court the same day. Henry Newins and Dr. Warren testified to the man's mental and physical condition. His own appearance, also, as evidenced in the court room supported the charge, and the jury was not long in finding him guilty. Sheriff Farnum took the patient to the state insane asylum at Pueblo Sunday. Goldmeitzer is an Austrian who has for a number of years resided on Battle mountain.
Goldmetzer, George
Eagle County Times 1-2-1904 Taken to Pueblo. George Goldmetzer, a resident of this locality for the past ten or twelve years was given a trial in the County Court last Saturday for insanity, and adjudged to be of unsound mind. Goldmetzer, who is a native of Germany or Austria, has lived very much alone of late years and worked principally at mining in Gilman. He is thought to have a wife and family in the old country. According to his own statements, he killed a man in Germany years ago and that fact caused him to leave home and family. It is unknown whether these admissions are the truth and the effects of the crime on his mind may have driven him insane, or whether they are merely the hallucinations of a mind diseased. Judge Tague ordered and left him in the State Asylum for the man taken to Pueblo, whither the sheriff accompanied him last Sunday, the Insane. Goldmetzer's insanity is not of a violent character, but the trial developed that he was utterly incapable of taking any care of himself whatever.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-2-1920 Insane Men Prisoners Governor Shoup's Lunacy Commission Finds 26 Inmates of Canon Crazy Ten of Them Serving Terms for Murder Denver, Jan. 31. Twenty-six inmates of the Colorado penitentiary were today declared insane in a report submitted to Governor Shoup by a special lunacy commission recently appointed by him. All but ten of the inmates adjudged insane are serving terms for murder. Among the twenty-eight adjudged insane are James Bulger, Denver soldier of fortune, who on the night of May 6, 1914, killed L. F. Nicodemus, then one of the proprietors of a local hotel, and Oren Slinde, a youth of 20 years, who slew his father and a hired man in a double murder on a farm seventeen miles northwest of Boulder on September 11, 1919. Besides Bulger and Slinde, those convicted of murder who were adjudged insane are: Robert Buchanan, Frank Cantania, John Deitz, Felix Belfino, Lauro Garcia, Robert Hunt, M. Milobar, George Novac, Arthur Norman, James Oldham, J. C. Stewart, Louis Seeley, Al Scott and P. C. Talbot. The others and the crimes for which they were sentenced are: B. A. Comstock, burglary; R. C. Davis, assault to kill; S. H. Shrader, burglary and larceny; G. Schneider, assault to rob; John East, burglary and larceny; J. Smelkert, obstruction of railroad property; Rose Chali, statutory offense; S. Gonzales, indecent liberties; and J. C. Messing, statutory offense. Forty-three inmates were examined by the commission. A competent medical determination of the mental condition of persons committed to the state prison whose sanity appeared doubtful was asked some weeks ago by Warden Thomas J. Tynan. The commission appointed consisted of Dr. Edward Delehanty of Denver; Dr. Howell T. Pershing, of Denver, and Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Pueblo. Governor Shoup recently wrote to all district attorneys in Colorado requesting that great care be exercised in determining whether persons convicted of high crimes were mentally sound. The persons adjudged insane will be at once removed to the state hospital for the insane, according to the authorities.

The commission examined the young woman and adjudged her insane and Judge Jay H. Bouton issued an order for her removal to the state institution at Pueblo, where she will likely be taken Saturday. Mrs. Goodell is said to have come to Colorado from Wyoming some time ago and for a period of six months has been teacher of the Elkhorn school, in Larimer county. When she enrolled as a teacher she gave her name as Sally Hollingshead but later asked to have the name changed on the records to Frances Hollingshead. It is stated that about a week ago the young woman was united in marriage to F. C. Goodell and the couple were residing at Log Cabin. The husband accompanied the wife to Fort Collins.

Goodfellow was injured several years ago, and while at times he appears perfectly rational, there are occasions when he is dangerous. A child was born to his wife last Friday, and Goodfellow would not permit anyone to come near the house to give attention to the mother and babe. Later, he partially disrobed himself and started for Clear Creek to swim. The sheriff was called and took the man into custody after a hard fight. Dr. Kelly was called to examine the unfortunate fellow and pronounced him insane. In county court yesterday he was adjudged insane and will be sent to the asylum.

Telluride Journal 9-26-1912 La Plata Miner Missing Lafe and Dan Carson, who came down from the Needles yesterday brought the news of the disappearance of S. A. Gordon, who has been working on Dr. Dowdey's mining properties in the Vallecito basin. For a number of days the man gave evidence of being mentally unbalanced. He carried an old box under his arm which he believed was a precious treasure. He refused to communicate with any of the men in the neighborhood as he seemed to think they were plotting to rob him. Five days ago he wandered away and thus far all efforts to locate him have been fruitless. It is feared that he has perished as the cold up there is intense and it is also a considerable distance to any point where he could obtain food and shelter. On a previous occasion Gordon became temporarily insane and disappeared in much the same manner, but he was located two days later above Silverton near where the members of his family reside. The Carson brothers have put in the principal part of the past five days and nights searching for the lost man. Dr. Dowdey also has parties aiding in the search. That particular section of the country is so rough and almost inaccessible that it is only with great difficulty that the would-be rescuers can cover the ground. Durango Herald.

The sheriff returned to Pueblo with his man this morning. The fellow came to the city two weeks ago and was employed on the Evening Chronicle as a typo. He presented a good appearance and was well educated. It is believed that he is a kleptomaniac, as he has been guilty of petty theft on several occasions while in Pueblo, but each time seemed so repentant that he was not prosecuted. Several powders of morphine were found upon his person when arrested and it is believed that he intended to take his life if captured.

Greeley Tribune 6-20-1901 Tries To Do Murder. Bloody Work of an Insane Woman in Lone Tree Valley Yesterday. Tries To Kill Her Husband. Fires the House, Changes her Mind and Puts it Out, Refuses to be Taken, Under Sheriff Williams Goes After Her. Mrs. Amos Gould, of Lone Tree valley, made a murderous attack upon her husband at their home about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. Stabbing him in the neck with a knife, cutting a branch of a main artery, and later striking him a blow on the back of the head laying open a circular wound and almost rendering him unconscious. The circumstances were as follows: Tuesday evening, Mr. Gould had remonstrated with his wife on account of an indiscretion committed by her, which he says now is clearly attributable to her mental condition, when she passed into a state of insane frenzy; finally she became calmer and went to bed, but the husband left the lamp burning and taking their six year-old daughter, laid down upon the lounge, intending to remain awake and watch her all night; but towards 1 o'clock fell asleep and was awakened by a stab in the neck, and the form of his wife bending over him and the child, ready for another thrust; she had extinguished the light before beginning her murderous work, and in the dark the husband grappled with her trying to wrest the knife from her hand, while blood flowed in a stream from the gash in his neck. He finally succeeded in taking the knife from her, while he re-lit the lamp, she ran around the house, entered from another door and struck him on the head with something, he knew not what; he reeled and almost fell, but seeing his insane assailant again closing in on him, rallied and escaping from her, caught up the child in his arms and ran with all speed to the home of the nearest neighbor, Frank Cook. W. O. Cook, a son of Frank Cook, whose house was about a mile farther on, was sent for, and later, the three men returned to the Gould home to see what had become of the wife; they found no one at the house, but the floor showed that a fire had been started with the evident intention of burning the house, and then put out with water. A search began for the wife, and ended in finding her lying on the ground in her night clothes on the prairie some distance from the house. The early mists of a foggy morning hid the searching party from her until close upon her, when both she and the family dog with her were at once on the defensive, then they decided to drive to Greeley and place the case in the hands of the proper authorities, which they did, arriving here about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning; a complaint, charging Mrs. Gould with insanity was formally made, necessary papers issued by Judge Jacobs and placed in the hands of Under Sheriff Williams with instructions to bring accused into court. Mr. Williams started at once and returned about 3:30 in the afternoon with Mrs. Gould, whom he stated gave every evidence of insanity, although no show of violence was made. When about five miles this side of her home he met her walking in this direction. She was taken to the county house for the night, and will have a hearing before Judge Jacobs this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Gould, Mary E.
Greeley Tribune 6-27-1901 - Mrs. Mary E. Gould, wife of Amos Gould, an account of whose insane attempt to murder her husband was published in last week's Tribune, was tried in county court Thursday afternoon, found insane and taken to Pueblo to the state asylum by Under Sheriff Williams, assisted by Mrs. Williams, Friday morning. On Thursday night at the county house, she had a hard epileptic fit, and did not come out of the stupor following it until after they reached Pueblo. She was quiet, however, and gave no trouble. It is not thought probable that she will ever recover her reason.

Fort Collins Courier 3-13-1907 Paralysis Cause of Mat Graham's DeathCoroner W. T. Hollowell returned Monday evening from Stove Prairie landing with the body of M. J. Graham, who was found dead in his cabin by a boy last Saturday. After a careful investigation Mr. Hollowell came to the conclusion that Graham died from natural causes and that an inquest was unnecessary. He thinks the deceased died suddenly from a severe stroke of paralysis, as the history of the man and all the surrounding circumstances seem to indicate that as the cause. The burial took place from Hollowell's undertaking rooms at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Graham was a hunter and prospector and had been a resident of the Stove Prairie country a good many years. He was about 63 years of age and had lived alone in a cabin on the bank of the river, three miles from neighbors for several years. He was last seen alive on Thursday of last week, and the supposition is that he died on Friday night. He had gone to bed evidently, as he had on his night shift. He had been employed lately at prospecting for a Mr. Carpenter, who supplied him with food. Graham leaves no property and his funeral expenses were borne by his employer, Mr. Carpenter. A brother of the dead man, Al Graham, is an inmate of the insane asylum at Pueblo, having been committed from this county several years ago.

The juries found them both insane and Judge Bailey committed them to the asylum. Graham was taken to Pueblo on Wednesday and Mrs. Town will go at a later date.

Another oldish man, Siegfried Gratz, who has a wife and two children, was also adjudged insane in the County court yesterday.

Graves, Abner
American Heritage Magazine 7-01-1983 The Man Who Didn't Invent Baseball Abner Doubleday Had an Eventful Life, But as Far as We Know, He Never Gave a Thought to the Game With Which His Name is So Firmly Linked by Victor Salvatore
The inventor (of baseball) is supposed to be the Civil War general Abner Doubleday; he is supposed to have thought up the game in 1839. This is a doublebarreled historical falsehood
But what about that reputable gentleman on whose testimony Mills bases the Doubleday-Cooperstown story? Who was this man? He was Abner Graves. In his letter to the Mills commission, Spalding described him: Mr. Abner Graves was a boy playmate and fellow pupil of Abner Doubleday at Green's Select School in Cooperstown, N. Y., in 1839. Mr. Graves, who is still living, says he was present when Doubleday first outlined with a stick in the dirt the present diamond-shaped Base Ball field, including the location of the players in the field, and afterwards saw him make a diagram of the field on paper, with a crude pencil, and memorandum of the rules for this new game, which he named 'Base Ball.' As Mr. Graves was one of the youths that took part in this new game under Doubleday's direction, his interesting and positive account is certainly entitled to serious consideration. Perhaps the shakiest part of Spalding's letter to the baseball commission is the sentence that describes Graves and Doubleday as playmates. Doubleday was born in Ballston Spa, New York,on June 26, 1819. Graves was born in Cooperstown on February 27, 1834. That makes Doubleday nearly fifteen years older than Graves. So in 1839 Graves was five years old and his playmate, Doubleday, was nearly twenty. Graves had a long life. And this life, if Graves himself is to be believed, was colorful. At fourteen, Graves said, he rounded Cape Horn under sail. He said he was one of the first pony express riders. After the Civil War he was briefly in the cattle and farming business in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and spent the last thirty years of his life in Denver. He acquired coal properties in Wyoming, just across the Colorado state line. He was married twice, the second time when he was seventy-five and his wife, Minnie, thirty-three. In June 1924 Graves, then aged ninety and so crippled he could not walk, shot and fatally wounded Minnie after a quarrel over her refusal to sign a bill of sale for their house. In the hospital the dying woman sent her husband a message of forgiveness but she also cut him out of her will. Graves, who was admitted to an adjoining ward a physical and mental wreck according to the Denver Post, lay muttering 'I hope she dies' as his wife neared death. A jury judged Graves criminally insane, and he was committed to the state asylum in Pueblo. He died there in the autumn of 1926

Later he was discharged and went to the home of his parents in Kansas. Recently he received word that his old place was open for him and he was to meet Wells in Denver and go back with him. Three days ago he was ready to start. He seemed perfectly rational at the breakfast table. He has not been seen since and it is feared that he has wandered off in a fit of mental derangement.

Denver Evening Post 10-9-1899 May Charge Murder The Death of George Green Said to Be Caused by a Blow From Andy Thornton The death of George Green, colored, of Denver, last Friday may cause a charge of murder to be brought against Andy Thornton, colored. Green, who was a hod-carrier living at 2546 Market street, died in the state insane asylum at Pueblo presumably from injuries received from a fall. Many of his friends assert, however, that he died from the effects of a blow upon the head that fractured his skull, his assailant being Thornton, and that from the effects of this blow Green first went insane and then died. He went to police headquarters some time in July suffering from a large scalp wound. He said he had been assaulted by a colored man named Andy Thornton. He was sent to the county hospital, where he remained until two weeks ago. Note: George Green was buried in Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo, Colorado. His age was listed as 33.

It was a plain case as it appeared from the actions of the man who was examined by the jury that he is sadly demented. He could not recall the names of the members of the jury with whom he was intimately acquainted, and his talk was for the most part, incoherent and meaningless. At moments a ray of intelligence would flash across his countenance when his attention was called to some particular subject, but it would pass and leave him at sea.

Aspen Weekly Times 7-29-1893 Pronounced Insane Lou Green, tried as to insanity in the county court Thursday, was found insane by the jury sitting in the cause. It was a plain case as it appeared from the actions of the man who was examined by the jury that he is sadly demented. He could not recall the names of the members of the jury with whom he was intimately acquainted, and his talk was for the most part, incoherent and meaningless. At moments a ray of intelligence would flash across his countenance when his attention was called to some particular subject, but it would pass and leave him at sea. The light of his remaining reason is flickering and uncertain, and undoubtedly will soon go out entirely. The sad malady that has overtaken Mr. Green has been coming on for several months. A few weeks ago he conceived the idea that he was the greatest swimmer on the face of the earth and called at The Times office and had a notice published to the effect that he was going to enter the contest at the Glenwood pool on the occasion of the opening of the Hotel Colorado. He detailed at length the wonderful acquatic feats he would perform. Several weeks later it was probably with this same idea in his mind that he leaped from a bridge into the Roaring Fork and was barely saved from drowning by Jesse Bruton who pulled him from the water after he had become insensible. Mr. Green has resided in Aspen for several years and heretofore has been an inoffensive and quiet citizen. Judge Johnson will probably send him to the insane asylum at Pueblo today.

Colorado Weekly Chieftan 10-23-1879 The new insane asylum at Pueblo is to be ready for reception of patients on the 20th., next Monday,. Arapahoe county,says the Times, will immediately transfer its seven patients from Oak Lawn Retreat, and two E. T. Mauff and Dennis Haggarty- from the county jail to the new institution. Several men will be sent to Jacksonville to guard the patients while on their way here. They will probabably leave for their unwelcome task on Saturday morning, and if they succeed in transfering their charges without incident or accident, we shall be mistaken. Not to speak of the well known lunatic Robert Burke,who refuses to eat or drink from the hands of another, and Cosmo Cannales, the vindictive foreigner, a new obstacle will be presented in the unwieldy person of Lizzie Halpin, the woman who was sent east last fall, and who was before her departure so well known herebouts. Lizzie has become so large and fat that she cannot move without assistance. Superintendent McFarland has awakened to find a white elephant on his hands, and is sorely perplexed therby. In a letter to Mr. Crocker, just received, he says: She (Halpin) is enormously corpulent, and is at the same time entirely paralyzed in her lower extremities. She is a mere mountain of flesh, and so helpless as to be unable to get from the floor to the low bedstead except by a dead lift by several persons. I am getting concerned for her fate in the event of a fire, as all of my patients are above the first story. In such event everything would be in ashes before all my available force would get her to the ground. McFarland was considering the advisability of building a separate house for this woman's sole occupation. If so much trouble is experienced in taking care of her while at the asylum, and surrounded by trained guards and all the special conveniences of that institution, what will be the experience of the man to whom her body is intrusted for removal to Pueblo? We pause to tremble. It is suggested that the county officers might purchase a tent upon her arrival, and meet a portion of the expenses by a judiciously managed side-show exhibition. Arapahoe county has seven patients to go to the insane asylum at Pueblo from Oak Lawn Retreat in Jacksonville, Illinois. The commissioners have just issued an order to Mr. James Duggan to transport these patients from Oak Lawn to the institution at Pueblo. The names of the insane ones are Robert Burke, Eliza Hopkins, Mary Greer, Cosmo Gonsales, David Kline, and Moses Millsap. These are almost all incurables, Mr. Duggan will leave for Illinois on Satuday with a guard.

Rocky Mountain News 2-22-1885 Death of an Old Pioneer Sketch of Bill Greer, a Well-Known Character of Early Days, Who Died Yesterday in Denver Bill Greer, a well-known character in Denver, died in the county hospital yesterday, aged about 58 years. Greer was an old timer; his father came to Chicago at an early day and owned at one time a place called the patch, which is worth millions to-day. Bill Greer as a boy rode the mail pony from Michigan City to Chicago before the railroad was complete. After that time he worked in the stables of Merrick & Graves, who owned some celebrated race horses. Greer came to Denver in 1859, and all the old timers remember the great race between A. B. Miller's horse, Border Ruffian, and Greer's horse. Thousands of dollars in gold dust changed hands, but Greer's horse won. After this race Greer went back to St. Joe, Mo., and brought out Black Ralph, a celebrated quarter pacer, which he afterward sold to Jim Shelby, of Santa Fe. Greer afterward became a trainer for horses for the Denver track, at that time on the old fair grounds. Among these was a horse named Master John, which was in a 4-mile race with Revenue. He trained a horse for Jim Sampson, who was to contest a race; thousands were put up, but the horse died on the morning of the race. From this time forward everything seemed to go wrong with Greer. His wife became hopelessly insane, and is at this time in the insane asylum at Pueblo. Greer seemed after this to be weak minded and his health gradually failed until yesterday morning, when he died in the county hospital. Although not a member of the Pioneer association, it is more than probable that this society will do something toward seeing that Bill Greer is decently interred.

Rocky Mountain News 5-22-1890 Seeking Protection A modest little woman with a look of terror on her face rushed into the sheriff's office yesterday afternoon and begged to be protected from her husband. She continually looked behind her, as if she feared he was pursuing her. After she had quieted down she said her husband had suddenly become insane and driven her out of the house. She said her name was Griffin and that she lived in Argo near the smelter. Deputies Casey and Golder were hurriedly dispatched to the woman's home. There they found her husband lying in bed trembling with fear. He was a big powerful man and the instant he saw the deputies he jumped to his feet and quickly struck an attitude of defense. The deputies prepared for a struggle, but suddenly the man's arms fell by his side and he submitted to arrest without a murmur. On the way to the county jail he complained of pains in the head, but gave no trouble. His wife said his insanity came in fits and starts. He will be examined by the county physician to-day. Note: Mr. Griffin, mentioned in this article, is listed as William Griffith in another Rocky Mountain News article from 6-17-1890.

Rocky Mountain News 6-17-1890 Three Insane Cases Judge Miller and a jury in the county court yesterday adjudged three inmates of the county hospital insane and they were ordered to be sent to the state insane asylum at Pueblo. The first of these to be tried was Ellen Kelley, a poor, sickly looking creature. Her memory seemed to be entirely gone. She did not know her age, nor could she remember anything about herself or anything that had occurred in this city during the past few years. She was declared to be hopelessly insane. Louis Vadoracie, a tall, swarthy Italian, had been driven out of his senses by a disease from which he has suffered during many years past. He imagines that he is in the fruit business and has stands all over the country. The last of the three was William Griffith. His case is curable and it is expected that he will be discharged in a short time. He is possessed of the hallucination that enemies are trying to kill him. This unfortunate man was employed in a smelter near Argo, and it is thought that being constantly in such a building, with its ill-smelling odors, affected his mind. All three will be taken to Pueblo to-day. Note: William Griffith, mentioned in this article, is listed as Mr. Griffin in another Rocky Mountain News article from 5-22-1890.

Rocky Mountain News 3-16-1893 Doings of a Manic A Lunatic at Large, Although Not Released From Pueblo Deputy Sheriff Duggan with a posse of five men went out to 1860 Quincy street, Argo, yesterday morning, to capture the insane man, William Griffin. The deputies expected to have a lively time, as it was reported that the maniac had barricaded his door and was armed to the teeth, ready to kill at sight. Duggan at first decided to take a Gatling gun, but this idea was abandoned. When the deputies arrived on the scene they found Griffin very peaceably inclined, and Duggan resolved on strategy. He told Griffin that the sheriff desired to appoint him as a guard in the jail. Griffin seemed pleased with the idea, and at once agreed to go to the bastile. Why Griffin was at large is a question that is bothering the county authorities. The records show that in May, 1890, he was committed to the state insane asylum at Pueblo. Under the statutes of Colorado he could not be released unless a jury determined that he had been restored to reason and was capable of managing his affairs. No such jury was ever impaneled, and the proceeding provided by law was never had in his case. He was never released from the asylum, so far as the proceedings had in the matter of his commitment in the office of the clerk of the county court show. How he was given his liberty the officers of the asylum may be able to explain. It is claimed by some of his immediate relatives that he escaped. Others who are bound to the unfortunate man by family ties, are outspoken in expression of opinion, that Griffin was allowed to go at large without the formality of legal proceedings to properly secure his freedom. Certain it is, that no order was ever made by the court which committed him ordering his release. An investigation will be made and the responsibility for yesterday's escape will, if possible, be placed where it belongs.

Grissom, Eugene
Rocky Mountain News 2-15-1896 Succumbed to Insanity Eminent Alienist to Be Consigned to an Asylum Dr. Eugene Grissom, an aged practitioner who has for several years resided in the city, yesterday caused a commotion on Sixteenth street by an apparent attempt to commit suicide. Several years ago the doctor achieved some reputation as an insanity expert and for some months past there were grave fears that he would himself be a subject for investigation in that line. Excessive use of morphine was one of the doctor's failings for which he was treated some time ago, but the cure did not last and in order to avoid the use of too much morphine the physician was in the habit of taking large doses of chloroform. Yesterday morning Dr. Grissom walked into the Scholtz pharmacy and his actions there aroused suspicion. Later when he left the place Officer Martyn followed him to see that he did not make an attempt on his life. The physician stopped at the bootblack stand in the alley between Curtis and Champa and no sooner had he seated himself in the chair than he complained of feeling sick and started to drink the contents of a bottle of chloroform. The colored man who was performing the work on the doctor's shoes caught a glimpse of a poison label on the bottle and at once let loose a yell that almost stopped the cable. A crowd at once gathered and Officer Martyn took the doctor away and later sent him to the police station. Afterward the patient was sent to the county hospital where he acted as if demented. Application was made in the county court yesterday afternoon to have the doctor committed to the asylum for treatment. Nervous System Undermined Dr. Grissom has been in failing health for a number of months. About a year ago he visited Cincinnati, O., and received marked benefit from treatment in one of the sanitariums of the city. Upon his return to Denver, he re-entered upon his practice with a vigor that gave great encouragement to his friends, but nervous symptoms reappeared and at times during the past month he was seen wandering about the streets in an aimless way as if bordering on dementia. The doctor came to Denver six years ago from North Carolina where he attained a national reputation as superintendent of the state insane asylum and as an expert in nervous diseases. For more than a quarter of a century, Dr. Grissom occupied the place at the head of the state asylum but difficulties arose and in his old age he retired from the office and left the state of North Carolina never to return. He directed his journey towards Colorado, arriving in Denver only a few days before the imposing ceremonies connected with the laying of the corner stone of the state capitol, July 4, 1890. Owing to his high standing as a mason, he was selected by the Masonic committee in charge to act as chaplain of the day. He opened an office in Denver and his wife, son and daughter soon arrived and the family have since been living in this city. The daughter is one of the trained nurses of St. Luke's hospital and the son has been connected with one of the offices in the county court house. Dr. Grissom has passed his 65th year and for over forty years has been closely identified with the Masonic order. He rose to the highest honors of the order and has held about every office that Masonry grants. He is one of the few thirty-third degree Masons in Colorado, the others being Henry M. Teller, H. M. Orahood, L. N. Greenleaf, E. C. Parmalee, Aaron Gove and Frank B. Hill. Mr. Hill was elevated to the position after the conclave of 1892 on account of the great success which he attained in conducting the affair. He is now temporarily residing in New York. Dr. Grisson was for years an active member of the supreme council of Masonry, being at the time inspector general of North Carolina. The similar position in this state is filled by Senator Henry M. Teller. Dr. Grissom was also deputy grand master of North Carolina and grand commander of the Knights Templar of the state. Known as a Scholar The doctor has attained a wide reputation as a scholar and medical periodicals have published scores of articles on the professional subjects from his versatile pen. He has been a man of intense intellectuality, a wide reader of history and philosophy, and as a speaker few men ever attain greater proficiency. Three weeks ago, at the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Knights Templar order in Colorado, the doctor delivered an address at the Masonic temple which electrified the finest scholars of the city by its eloquence and the depth of its philosophy. No Mason could better explain the teachings of the order and contact with the brightest minds gave to Dr. Grissom a penetration which a younger man could not possess. On this account he was regarded as a counselor in the order and his advice has been sought on all occasions by those who have not enjoyed equal advantages. His enthusiasm on all subjects connected with the order never flagged. Since his arrival in the city it has often been noted that a weight, as if of sorrow or remorse seemed to bear upon the mind of Dr. Grissom. A cloud hung over his life. His thoughts seemed to be upon scenes far away and often he would walk entire blocks without raising his head or recognizing well-known friends. This peculiarity was one of the characteristics of the doctor and his acquaintances soon learned to pay no attention to his apparent forgetfulness. His tall form, set off to striking advantage by a black military cloak, was familiar to persons abroad in the streets and often at late hours of the night the figure could be seen moving rapidly along Sixteenth or Seventeenth street as if trying to escape from an over hanging evil. The doctor was kindly in his manners and never turned a patient away on account of poverty of the applicant. He possessed the manners of the old school and was as finished in his language as in his address. Dr. Grissom has attained some prominence in the poetical world as well as in that of prose. The January number of the Square and Compass, a Masonic periodical published in this city under the management of L. N. Greenleaf, contains a poem by the doctor which appears to be a prophecy of the sad incident of yesterday. The poem is entitled A Home Mid the Numberless Stars, and is as follows: Significant Verse Oh, is there no home for the wounded and weary, / The heart that is broken, the eye that is teary, / The mind that is sad and the soul that is dreary; / Oh, is there no home in some planet on high, / 'Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful sky? / Yea, God has provided a mansion above, / Whose timbers were grown in the garden of love; / Whose walls are as bright as the sheen of the snow - / As the sheen of the shield of the sun in its glow! / He hath built me a home in some planet on high, / 'Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful sky. / He gave to my fathers a home on this earth, / But sin hath dissevered the ties of my birth, / And life is a shadow a mist of the morning, / That fades from the hills in the light of the dawning; / Yet still there's a home in some planet on high, / 'Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful sky. / I know not the orb that will be my abode, / But I know it was formed by the finger of God. / That my mansion is empty, and I must await, / Till he shall command me to enter the gate - / Till the angel of death in mercy shall come, / To bear me to dwell in my beautiful home - / My home that is built in some planet on high, / 'Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful sky.

Dr. Grissom attempted suicide last Friday. He is a slave to the morphine habit, and it was testified that he was liable to injure himself while under its influence. At other times he is perfectly sane. In court to-day he was rational, and it was his wish that he be sent to an asylum in the hope that he might be cured of his habit.

Denver Evening Post 9-26-1896 Denver's Insane in Dismal Quarters Arapahoe county, through negligence of its officials, pays thousands of dollars annually to the state insane asylum for the care of its insane and the people never receive the benefit of the money expended. By the manner in which the state authorities permit the state asylum to be conducted they are responsible to the people of Arapahoe county for taking their thousands and giving them but slight benefits in return. Superintendent Thoms of the Pueblo asylum says Arapahoe county is entitled to but 33 per cent of the patients in the institution, and that its allowance is already present within the walls. The county commissioners of Arapahoe county know that the people whom they represent contribute 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum, yet they crowd their insane into small, badly-lighted cells in the basement of the county hospital instead of exerting sufficient endeavors to force the state asylum to receive patients for whom the institution has been paid. The hospital is now sheltering twenty-five insane patients when it should be sheltering none. There are no facilities and what means are at the disposal of the superintendent and medical staff are inadequate to cope with the constantly increasing number of lunatics. The hospital authorities are struggling nobly but it is a severe tax upon them and the county. It is a shame of many appealing voices (?) that the insane of the county are so poorly taken care of and that a dangerous lunatic should be made to suffer irritation beyond measure because of a lack of better quarters
During the present year the county hospital has been relieved by the state asylum of but twenty-five of its charges who had been forced upon it by a lack of room at the state asylum, where they are firmly denied admission. At one time not many weeks ago there were nine persons tried in the county court on the charge of insanity, and all adjudged insane. They were at once taken to the county hospital for temporary detention. There are now at the hospital twenty-five persons who are adjudged insane, but who have not been sent to the state asylum. The county must support these people, regardless of their 46 per cent of the support of the state asylum. The patients at present in the county hospital are: Margaret Gross

Eagle County Blade 5-2-1907 Effects of Sunstroke Violently insane, the sequence to a frightful night spent in the mountains, nearly freezing to death, George L. Grover, living at 1317 Blake street, was taken to Denver recently from Loveland, and taken to the county hospital. Raving and struggling with his keepers for liberty, he fought them during the long drive from the mountain camp to the station, and weak and exhausted he recalls over and over again in his delirium the awful night of privation. His condition is serious, and little hope is entertained that he will ever again regain his normal condition. Over a year ago he suffered a sunstroke while working with a timber gang in the mining camp, and since then his mind has been unbalanced, subjecting him to fits of insanity. During these fits he would be violent, and had it not been for the faithful care of his wife he might have taken his life.

Eagle County Times 6-18-1904 A Raving Maniac. Mr. Eli Gulden, formerly well known here and at Gilman and Bell's camp, but for the past few years a resident of Fulford, was brought in from that camp last Saturday evening by the sheriff in a wretched condition of complete mental collapse. The unfortunate man was placed in a room on West Eagle avenue in the custody of a couple of attendants and from that time until noon Monday, when he was taken to the asylum at Pueblo, he continued to make night and day hideous with his demoniacal yells, curses, imprecations and obscenity. Gulden has been living alone in Camp Tolford in a well constructed log building put up by himself far from other habitations. For some time past he has been observed to be acting strangely and was supposed to be becoming non compos, but it was only in the last few days that his mental condition began to show alarming symptoms and that the authorities were notified of the necessity of looking after him. Monday he was given a trial before County Judge Tague and a jury, and a crazier-appearing and acting individual never probably was seen in the County Court. The formality of examining witnesses and pronouncing Eli insane having been duly gone through, he was given into the sheriff's charge and taken by that official to the asylum at Pueblo on the next train eastbound. Gulden has principally followed mining and milling during his residence in these parts and it is said his insanity is due in part at least to the problems of milling and reduction of ores. He has no relatives in this part of the world as far as has been ascertained, but is thought to have somewhere back in Pennsylvania.

Eagle County Blade 6-16-1904 Gulden Insane Pitiful Case of Violent Derangement From Fulford Elias G. Gulden, a prospector well known in the Fulford District was brought to the county seat last Saturday by Sheriff Frank Farnum, violently insane. Gulden was brought to Eagle by J. H. Lemmon and Constable Frank Guenon, of Fulford, and turned over to A. D. McKenzie, chairman of the board of county commissioners, who delivered him to the sheriff. Gulden had very few rational moments, during the latter part of his detention in Red Cliff none at all. He was held under guard until Monday morning, when he was tried in the County Court on a charge of lunacy. In court he was absolutely irresponsible and raved all the time oblivious to his surroundings. With his hands secured it required two men constantly at his side to restrain him. Sheriff Farnum and Dr. Gilpin were the only witnesses and the jury promptly convicted Gulden of the charge. He was conveyed to the state asylum at Pueblo the same day. Gulden is about 60 years of age and for a long time has been considered queer. He has been a hard drinker and when on a spree would imbibe anything that contained alcohol. A brother-in-law, Dr. D. W. Bortz, of Easterly, Pennsylvania, and a sister, of Shaffer, Pennsylvania, have been notified by Sheriff Farnum, of his condition.
Gulden, Elias G.
Eagle County Blade 6-23-1904 - On Sunday Sheriff Frank Farnum received a telegram from Superintendent Bussey, of the state insane asylum, saying that Elias G. Gulden had died at the institution. Gulden was convicted of insanity in the County Court here on June 13th as recorded in these columns last week, and committed to the asylum on the same date. He was violently deranged, and when received at the asylum Superintendent Bussey predicted to Sheriff Farnum that he would not live two weeks. Upon receiving information of his death Sheriff Farnum notified relatives in Pennsylvania, as he also did at the time of deceased's commitment to the asylum, but nothing has been heard from them.

Central City Weekly Register-Call 11-7-1890 Shooting Affray Two Shots Fired With a 44-Pistol, But Both Miss Their Mark Golden Globe: Tuesday evening the Forks of the Creek had a little excitement in the form of a shooting scrape, in which Chris Guillickson fired two shots at Andy Ipsen. The cause seems to have emanated from the fact that Guillickson had been working this summer for Ipsen and on Tuesday demanded his pay. Ipsen said that he had no funds on hand, but would get it this week for him in Golden. One word led to another, when Guillickson pulled his gun and shot at Ipsen. Though the bullet missed him, he was so close that the powder burned his clothes on his shoulder and also the flesh. The second shot passed very close to his jaw, the powder this time burning his whiskers and mustache. Ipsen then clinched Chris and threw him down, and with the help of a boy, tied him securely with a rope and sent for Justice G. A. Hutchinson, who issued a warrant for his arrest, and Constable Booton brought him to Golden that night. The shooting occurred at about 6 o'clock. It will be remembered that Chris Guillickson was examined this summer on a charge of lunacy.

Hugo Range Ledger 5-20-1922 Will Receive a Goodly Sum Thru the Efforts of Congressman Timberlake, the Service Record of Grover A. Sherill, Deceased, Is Corrected The editor of the Ledger received a letter from Hon. Chas. B. Timberlake, our good representative in Congress, last Friday morning which brought cheer and everlasting gratitude into the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Hawthorne, foster parents of Grover A. Sherrill, also known as Homer L. Gunn, who passed away at the State Insane asylum at Pueblo, last December and was buried in Evergreen cemetery, near Hugo, on Christmas day. The letter briefly stated that a sum amounting to about $3400, had been allowed by the Veteran's Bureau to the estate of the young man, and would be paid to the administrator of his estate. This means that the blight on the record of the young man while a member of the U. S. navy has been removed, and his name restored to good standing. Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne had come into Hugo last Friday morning, expecting to leave for Houston, Texas, where they expect to reside, when they received the news from Washington and as it was necessary to take out administration papers on Grover's estate they delayed their departure until Saturday morning. In this connection, a short history of the case will prove interesting to our readers. Grover A. Sherrill was born at Fallstown, Texas, Nov. 23, 1887, where he grew to manhood. When fourteen months of age, his mother died and his oldest sister, Mrs. W. A. Hawthorne, took him in charge, caring for him as though her own child. On Sept. 5th, 1912, he enlisted in the U. S. navy, advancing to a first-class fireman, being honorably discharged with an excellent record, after four years service, in September, 1916. He came home to visit his foster parents and other relatives in Texas. In July, 1917, shortly after the United States became involved in the World's war, he re-enlisted in the navy, but served only a short time, when he was placed in a naval hospital in England, afflicted with a private disease; later, he was brought to an army hospital in New York City, where he received his discharge from the navy, on October 11, 1918, his discharge paper stating the cause as his own misconduct. He came home to his foster parents in Texas, and to them claimed that his condition was due more to the ill-treatment received in the English hospital, than it was to the disease. Later he came with Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne to their new home in Colorado, where they located on a farm a few miles northwest of Hugo. His condition grew worse slowly until he became helplessly bedfast over a year ago, unable in mind to know even those near and dear to him. Last summer, thru the kindness of Mrs. S. M. Crosby, sister of Mrs. Hawthorne, the aid of the editor was called into the case. Mr. Miles, the editor of the Ledger, immediately communicated with Mr. Timberlake at Washington, who asked for a full detailed statement of the case with affidavits, etc., at the same time, expressing grave doubt as to success in getting the claim allowed, under the circumstances of the last discharge paper. However, Mr. Timberlake as usual gave the matter active attention, going personally to the Veterans' Bureau and urging careful consideration of the case, his efforts finally proving successful. In the meantime, the young man was adjudged insane before County Judge Hedlund and the lunacy commission in the county court last August, and taken to the state asylum at Pueblo where he passed away on December 21, 1921. As a result of Mr. Timberlake's invaluable services in this case, assisted by the editor, Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne will now receive the compensation due the young man from the government during his life time, for their faithful care of him during his over two years of helplessness, and all claims will be paid by the Veterans' Bureau. The editor of the Ledger feels justly proud of the part he had in the case, for against great odds, we have been able to assist in righting what we believed to be a wrong, and at the same time gave our services gratuitously and willingly helped Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne, whom we believed worthy of every effort we might put forth in their behalf, for if the young man had committed offense, he himself paid the penalty with his life. Our County Judge, Hon. P. O. Hedlund has also did his part in aiding Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne, and is entitled to full credit for his part in the case. However, without Mr. Timberlake's aid, we feel that our local efforts would have resulted only in failure, so to him we extend our sincere thanks for his noble efforts in this very worthy cause.

Clark was questioned closely on the witness stand during his trial for lunacy yesterday morning. He appeared fully as sensible as most people until the subjects of electricity and religion were touched upon. Then he became wild. John Gunnison, who was once accused of having killed Martin, who was found dead in Sheridan park, was possessed with constant fear that some one is trying to murder him. Albert Anderson's bump of locality was injured. He believed himself in the immediate vicinity of the Columbian exposition, which he is constantly trying to find. George Wendelin has been insane since receiving a blow in the head some time ago. They were all adjudged insane. J. H. Gabriel, secretary of the state board of charities and corrections, was understood to have stated yesterday that the law required his presence at lunacy trials. An unofficial examination of the statute revealed no such clause.

Guthrie, Madeline Estella Gordon Wood
Collbran Plateau Voice 11-29-1918 Mrs. Madeline E. Guthrie Word was received last Saturday from Pueblo that Mrs. N. F. Guthrie had died in a hospital in that city. Several months ago Mrs. Guthrie's health became very poor, and her illness so affected her mind that it was thought best to send her to the hospital for the insane at Pueblo. She never regained her health, grew steadily worse, in fact, and the end came on the 23rd of November. The body was shipped to this place for burial, and the funeral and interment was at the Eagalite Cemetery, Tuesday, November 26th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Rev. James F. Walker conducted the short funeral service. Madeline Estella Gordon was born at Rawlow, Missouri, August 25, 1871, making her age at the time of her death 47 years, two months and 29 days. She was left an orphan at an early age, through the death of both her parents. When a young woman she came to Colorado to visit an old school friend, and was married at Trinidad, when 19 years of age, to Percy O. Wood. To this union were born four children, a son and three daughters. Two of these, now Mrs. John Stites Jr., and Mrs. Zach Bryant, both of Collbran, survive their mother. Mr. Wood died in 1895, and in 1899 Mrs. Wood was married to N. F. Guthrie who survives her, and now is living at Delco, Idaho. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie and children came to this place in 1901, and until recently the family home was near Collbran. Until her last illness, Mrs. Guthrie was deeply attached to her daughters and the community sympathizes with them in the loss of their mother.
Guthrie, Madeline Estella Gordon Wood
Collbran Plateau Voice 11-29-1918 Card of Thanks We wish to express our deep appreciation of the great kindness of friends during the burial of our mother, Mrs. Madeline Estella Guthrie. Mr. and Mrs. John Stites Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Zach Bryant.

Guyer, Angie
Denver Evening Post 1-8-1899 In The Wards For Insane Chats With Mother McDonald, William H. Lahey, Edward Vosborg, Amy Love and the Evasion of Mrs. Guire It was cosy in the office of the county hospital. There was warmth and the clock ticked and Dr. Long wrote at a neatly kept desk. We have twenty-three of them now, said the doctor, resuming the conversation in a leisurely manner as he finished making his notes and put up the pad. The talk had been of insane patients. Sixteen of these are women, he continued; the others are men. Would you like to see some of them? The visitor said he would and the courteous doctor led the way. Out in the corridor two tidy women in white caps were mopping the floor. Through the open doors on either side one could get glimpses of cleanly store rooms, a shining kitchen, a well ordered dining room and a methodically arranged drug department. Wait till I get the key to No. 4, said Dr. Long as he went into a small room near the stairway. He was back in a second, and the two proceeded to an apartment with a grated door, which, being opened, brought to view a lobby with other grated doors opening into it
And you remember Amy Love, don't you? She tried to drown herself in the lake in City park last May. Oh, yes. Well, you want to see her. She leaves tomorrow for the asylum at Pueblo and she thinks she is going to her home out in the east end of Arapahoe county and she is quite happy about it. Amy Love was found in a room with three others suffering from mental disorders. One of these was Angie Guire, a large, full-faced pleasant looking woman who last March, in a merry mood, attempted to burn up her house in North Denver and, incidentally, to cremate her baby and her mother. Are you getting ready to go, Amy? asked the doctor. The girl thus addressed sat on her cot reading a book, which she at once dropped, turning toward the speaker a pleasant, intelligent, almost a pretty face. Yes, doctor, what little getting ready there is to do. ... And will you be glad to get away? she was asked. Glad, I should say so. There is nothing so attractive about this place as to fill one with regret at leaving it, she answered. Ha! ha! ha! broke in Mrs. Guire, stopping her needle that had been busy with some fancy work, she's right about that. To be sure the country is dreary in the winter. Amy Love proceeded without noticing the interruption, but spring will soon come and the flowers oh, what lakes and seas of flowers! She spread out her hands and was for an instant glorified at the thought. It was touching, this fine, intellectual appreciation of the beautiful in nature, this longing for freedom and the flowers. Especially was it so to the two who listened and knew she was but to be transferred from one walled enclosure to another
No young man cares for me, but her face grew sad, pitifully sad, for an instant and then she moved her hand downward as if to dismiss that subject and said, but I go tomorrow, don't I, doctor? and was happy again. When I come here, cut in Mrs. Guire again, as irrelevantly as Mr. F.'s aunt, I took a whole dose o' morphine and I told all about myself and my business affairs. I told But the doctor and visitor said good bye to Amy Love and went away without finding out what else it was Mrs. Guire told.

Ouray Herald 8-6-1915 New Insanity Law Stamps Originator Subject for Asylum Provides New Procedure Which May Double Cost of Inquiring Into Ones Mental Condition, Without Improving Old Law in Any Particulars Physician May Be Complainant in Case and Later Act as Judge of Own Charge Mr. J. C. Guyer, who had been held in the county jail several days under observation as to his mental condition, was yesterday pronounced insane, in the county court, by a lunacy commission composed of Drs. Stadler and Rowan. Guyer will be held five days before being taken to Pueblo, the new lunacy law requiring this delay to enable relatives or friends of the alleged demented man to demand a jury trial to finally decide whether he is insane. Based upon the judgment of all who have observed Guyer, there is no doubt in their minds that he is insane, consequently we do not desire that our criticism of the law should reflect, in any manner, upon the physicians composing the Guyer lunacy commission. The principal criticism of the law, to the writer's mind, is that it permits a physician to file a sworn complaint that a person is insane, and then further permits the same physician to be a member of the lunacy commission that finally decides the party's mental condition. This handicaps the accused to the extent that his fate is practically decided in advance. Any observant person knows that physicians rarely disagree and the second physician in nine cases out of ten will probably acquiesce in the preconceived opinion of the doctor who has had the patient under observation prior to the hearing. However, should the two physicians disagree a third physician must be called in to decide. In our opinion, any ordinary citizen could act as arbitor between the two doctors as well, or better than a third physician at an expense to the counsel of $2.00, where the third doctor costs $10.00. Now, we will suppose two, or three, physicians have determined that the party under investigation is insane, relatives and friends of said party have a right to demand a jury trial of the issue, and the new law declares that the accused be held in the county jail for a period of five days to afford opportunity for so doing. Suppose, in Guyer's case, such a demand is made (it will be in a majority of the cases), it will result in service of new papers and proceedings similar to those in vogue because the new law became operative. In all contested cases, it can readily be seen, the taxpayers will be put to liable (?) the expense necessary before passage (?) of this law. From an economical standpoint, the sponsor for the change in the law exercised very poor judgment ___ were he a physician, had an eye for (?) business.

Guzman, a Mexican, nineteen years of age, was adjudged insane by a jury in the county court yesterday afternoon and was today taken to the state asylum at Pueblo. Guzman cut the throat of a horse on a ranch near Berthoud, where he was employed. An examination demonstrated that he was mentally unaccountable for the deed. He sat in court unmindful of the proceedings and failed to reply when questioned, looking at the judge and jury with a vacant stare. Judge Bradfield of Greeley, presided, as Judge Stover is absent in California. Winton Ault was appointed guardian for the unfortunate.
