Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 1-17-1974 Mental Patients Back in Custody Trinidad Two mental patients, one from Colorado Springs, who escaped from the Colorado State Hospital in Pueblo were taken into custody Wednesday. Robert Kaiser of Colorado Springs was captured in Pueblo early Wednesday while Paul Hernandez, 24, was captured in Trinidad after holding a hostage at gunpoint before two policemen in plainclothes confronted him without any resistance. He didn't give any resistance, said Ralph Turano, director of public safety. He didn't have much of an opportunity to resist. The two officers pointed their service revolvers at him and told him to surrender. Hernandez was captured about 12 hours after he broke out of the Colorado State Hospital at Pueblo after taking guard Tom Roldan hostage. Hernandez freed Roldan and abducted two other men he forced to drive him to Trinidad. Turano said Hernandez was spotted in Trinidad after buying a bus ticket to Raton, N.M. He said the hotel where the man was recaptured was about three blocks from the bus station. He said Hernandez was picked up shortly after forcing his way into the apartment of Guilermo Garcia and ordering the man to drive him to New Mexico. He apparently just went to the man's apartment at random, pointed a gun at him and said he wanted a ride out of Trinidad, Turano said. A spokesman for the state hospital said Hernandez, of Denver, was a convicted bank robber who was transferred to the Pueblo institution for observation.

Carbonate Chronicle 1-20-1919 Sheriffs Search All Night For Lunatic In Iowa Gulch In a moonlight search which ended only at two o'clock yesterday morning, Sheriff Schraeder, Undersheriff Murray and I. L. Jones, Manager of the Dinero Mining, Milling and Tunnel company trailed Joe Kaports, recently a rancher near Crystal Lakes, south of Malta, to the Iowa Gulch country and then trailed him into town, as he jumped up after being located in the snow and fled from his pursuers, in the fright of a demented man. Kaports, who was adjudged insane by the county lunacy commission on October 16 last but was released under his wife's care by County Judge Thomas F. O'Mahoney, wandered Friday from his home on Brooklyn Heights, where the family has been living thru the winter, and headed for Iowa Gulch to the southeast. His wife notified Sheriff Schraeder, with the result that the sheriff and his two assistants started in pursuit, Jones going as a volunteer deputy. The searchers drove as far as possible with a sleigh, then struck off thru the snow on foot. After a tramp of several miles they struck Kaports' trail and followed it away toward the range of snowy mountains to the east, where habitants are not and water is unavailable during the winter months. Early in the evening, after hours of tramping, when they had scattered out to make their search more thoro, Jones found the demented man lying in the snow under a pine tree. Kaports lay still and Jones believed he was frozen and near death. Jones called to Sheriff Schraeder, who started back to their sleigh for blankets. Meantime Jones began cutting branches from the trees and brush roundabout to furnish fuel for a fire. While he was engaged, Kaports unexpectedly showed signs of animation and before Jones, who had gone some distance away, knew it, the demented man had jumped to his feet and started away. Jones started in pursuit and was joined soon by the two sheriffs. With the lead Kaports had gained and with the handicap of deep snow, the pursuing trio were unable to overtake him. Kaports plunged wildly thru copses of willows, tangles of aspen and spruce, thru which his followers made their way only by crawling on their hands and knees or in crouched positions. The moon was shining brightly, and the three officers had no difficulty in sticking to Kaports' tracks. They followed them as best they could until it was certain he was headed for home, and then regained their sleigh and neighing horses. They later found Kaports at home and he was taken to the county jail for safe keeping. County Judge O'Mahoney issued an order yesterday by which the former rancher will be taken to the state asylum at Pueblo today by Sheriff Schraeder. Kaports, whose name is also spelled Kapore (or Kaporc?), is about 40 years old and has a wife and three children.

Carbonate Chronicle 2-24-1919 Joseph Koporic Joseph Koporic, also known as Joe Kaports, died yesterday at Pueblo, a message to the Moynahan and O'Malia Undertaking company announced last night. His body will be brot here tonight on Rio Grande train No. 1 for burial. Kaports, who was about 40 years old, was formerly a rancher here near Crystal Lakes. He was adjudged insane October 16 last, released in care of his wife, and then retaken into charge last month after he wandered away into Iowa gulch and gave a searching party a long chase. His wife and two children live here on Brooklyn Heights. Kaports was born in Austria.

The cortege will leave the family home on Brooklyn Heights at 9:30 o'clock.

Carbonate Chronicle 3-3-1919 Joseph Koporic Joseph Koporic, formerly a rancher near Crystal Lakes, who died at Pueblo Wednesday in his fortieth year, was buried yesterday morning in St. Joseph's cemetery, following funeral rites observed at 9:30 at St. Joseph's church. The casket was taken to the church from the family home on Brooklyn Heights, where the late rancher's wife and two children mourn his loss. A large gathering of friends followed the hearse on the short journey to the church, and later their carriages formed a long procession on the way to the cemetery. The Rev. Father Judnic celebrated the requiem high mass at the church. Acting as pall bearers were Stephen Frankovic, Peter Briski, Michael Mayerie, John Stribler, Paul Francak and Joseph Mihlie. A large delegation of members of St. Peter's and St. Barbara's societies attended the services. Their beautiful large floral designs were conspicuous among the many beautiful tributes of this nature which surrounded the casket.

Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918
In the same court yesterday, the examiners found Joe Kaports, a ranchman near Crystal Lakes, to be suffering from epilepsy which produces frequent attacks of insanity, during which he is a menace to himself and associates. He was taken in custody October 7 when found wandering aimlessly about in Stringtown, after his wife had reported to the sheriff that he was missing. Tho the doctors will not make their recommendation on the case until today, they said they believed that Kaports should be under watch and tho loath to send him to the state hospital for the insane, they believed in the absence of any public institution for the care of epileptics, the rancher should be cared for there. Kaports' wife sat beside him in the court. He is a middle-aged man and the father of several small children.
Kaporc, Joseph
Carbonate Chronicle 10-21-1918 Mentally Unbalanced If Joe Kaports' mind remains normal, he will be permitted to go about his ranching business southwest of Malta as usual, County Judge O'Mahoney ruled after hearing an examination in relation to the ranchman's mental state, Wednesday. Unless he is affected by another attack of a malady which resembles epilepsy, Kaports will not menace either himself or others, Drs. H. A. Calkins and A. J. McDonald of the lunacy commission held, and the court therefore permitted the ranchman to go home at the ranch with his wife.

Ouray Herald 4-26-1900 Adjudged Insane E. Y. Kerns, an old-time prospector of Ouray county, was adjudged insane in the county court on Saturday, Messrs. A. Humphrey, Chas. Munn, W. R. Kincaid, Chas. Rowley, W. A. Conley and Julian Hulaniski, sitting as the jury. Kerns' hallucination was that some person, or persons, was trying to hang him. He was taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Edgar Monday morning. Chas. Johnston was appointed conservator of Kern's estate.

4-17-1900 Silverite-Plaindealer - E.Y.Karns Adjudged to be Insane In the county court before Judge Rathmell Saturday afternoon, E. Y. Karns was placed on trial under the charge of being insane and was found insane by the jury after a short deliberation. The defendant had been a resident of Ouray County for about twenty years, working at times prospecting and at others around on the farms in the Dallas country. He worked for Burr Colver who was a witness in the case and he was given a good reputation for sobriety and industry and of having been possessed of a fairly clear mind until within the last month or two when he became possessed of an hallucination that a conspiracy had been formed to hang him and came up to the city on Wednesday of last week and demanded a trial and incarceration in the jail from Deputy Sheriff Maquilken who referred him to Sheriff Edgar who decided that the man was mentally unbalanced and placed him in confinement. Doctors South and Ashley testified that although the man was not strictly insane he might develop dangerous symptoms at any time and thought it best to place him out of harm to the community. The defendant seemed rational upon all subjects except that he could not explain any reason for fearing an attack upon his person. It seems a pity that some intermediate place could not be furnished for such cases, as the man may recover his reason, but the chances are against it. He had no relatives here and has not kept up his family relations for years to any extent. Attorney Barnett was appointed guardian ad litem by the court to act for the defendant.

Dolores News 9-12-1885 Keating's Insanity The following letter referred to last week has been received from the brother of Billy Keating: F. L. Thompson: My Dear Sir: Your letter with the sad information of my brother's condition just received. It did not surprise me the least, having formed my opinion some time ago from the unintelligible correspondence that passed between us. From the best authority I have learned that he had become addicted to the use of opium, and knowing as I do the free use of tobacco which he indulged in, I could not have helped but have come to the above conclusion. All these misfortunes added with close study for a high class of literature, brings this sad result. If possible see that he is placed in some private institution and I will be responsible for his care. I refer you to any bank here to my standing. If he should become any worse you will please telegraph that I may be enabled to come. You will do me a great favor by expressing to him my love and that anything I can do to bring him back to himself will be gladly done. Let me hear from you by return mail giving me full information that I may be able to see that his wants are provided for. Thanking you for your kindness and hoping at some future day I may have the pleasure of your acquaintance I subscribe myself, Respectfully, John J. Keating. Keating had left Rico some time before the receipt of the letter, and the following from the Telluride News undoubtedly refers to him: Marshal Emery has an insane man in the jug. As the man was formerly a cook, his derangement is easily accounted for. The Telluride Journal adds: Billy Keating, who is well known all over the San Juan as one of the best cooks in the country, is now a hopeless, harmless but very amusing lunatic, confined in the Telluride jail. In his mind he has a barbed wire fence around the whole of Mt. Wilson, the Fish Lakes and Lone Cone, and has more cattle than this immense range will accommodate. He says the jail is the first place in the world fitted up for his especial use, and he invites all his visitors to stay and dine with him, intimating that the repast he serves up is a sumptuous one. He will be taken to the asylum at Pueblo, in a few days, by Sheriff Emery.

Rocky Mountain News 11-29-1883 Is She Insane? A Sad Case Under Trial in the County Court Yesterday in the County court considerable time was taken up in trying Mary B. Keating, charged with being insane. Mrs. Keating until recently resided with her husband in the alley running from Antelope to Thirteenth street, back of Colfax avenue. They appear to have got along quite well and without alarming their neighbors until about a fortnight ago, when Mrs. Keating became quite drunk and made it lively for a little while in the neighborhood. She proceeded to the grocery store of A. S. Schaeffer, at the corner of Colfax and Antelope, and proceeded to appropriate a chicken, at the same time declaring that the store belonged to her. When Mr. Schaeffer remonstrated Mrs. Keating sought to increase the tenderness of the chicken by beating him with it. Prior to this she had amused herself with agitating the handle of Mr. Schaeffer's pump for a considerable length of time. This led some of her neighbors, when taken in connection with other matters, to conclude that she was insane. Mr. Schaeffer called in the police to help protect him. Three stout policemen tried to gather Mrs. Keating in but failed, and her husband, who about this time returned from his day's work, appeared on the scene and took his wife home. The police reported the matter to Chairman Shreve, of the county board, who placed the woman in the county hospital to await trial for insanity. She had four children ranging in age from a boy of 10 to a child in her arms, and these were taken charge of by Tom McElroy, a kind hearted expressman. The testimony yesterday was substantially as above. Mrs. Keating appeared to be sane enough for all practicable purposes in court, and in a conversation with Mr. Shreve, after the jury had retired, she gave that gentleman rather the worst of it, as far as repartee is concerned. It was not shown that she had ever threatened the lives of her children even when drunk, and apparently has been kind to them while sober. The case was given to the jury which, however, did not appear able to come to an agreement last night. The family are said to have been in very comfortable circumstances at one time, but are now reduced to a rather low grade of poverty, and this through Mrs. Keating's unfortunate failing.

Rocky Mountain News 2-4-1891 Uncle Peter Surprised A Lunatic Frightens the Chairman of the County Board In the month of September last a man by the name of David Keehn was arrested on the charge of being a lunatic. On September 30, 1890, he was tried before Judge Miller and a jury and was convicted of lunacy, and on October 3 he was taken to the asylum at Pueblo by the sheriff of this county, and there confined. Yesterday David Keehn walked into the county commissioners' office and demanded work of the chairman, Mr. Mangus, after getting over his surprise, Mr. Mangus remembered that this identical man had been sent to the asylum, and was somewhat amazed to be confronted by him in so short a time. Mr. Magnus notified the sheriff's office of the visit of Mr. Keehn, and in a few moments Keehn was safely landed below stairs in charge of several deputy sheriffs. The question now is, how did this man get to Denver? How did he get his release from the asylum? An investigation of the county court clerk's office failed to show any record or order for the release of this lunatic. It is charged that Superintendent Thombs of the lunatic asylum at Pueblo either let him escape or turned him out without any warrant to do so.

Central City Daily Register-Call 12-12-1879 More Room Wanted More room is needed at the lunatic asylum at Pueblo. In our county jail is a lunatic named Oats, who is a worthy patient, yet for want of accommodations at the state asylum, the unfortunate sufferer is compelled to lie in the common jail; and what a jail! On this subject the Times says: Pauline Keehn, the woman who was recently declared insane by a jury in the county court, is now confined in the county hospital awaiting transportation to an asylum. The state asylum at Pueblo is crowded with patients, and there is no prospect of a diminution in their number. General Brown will endeavor to make room for her, but it is not improbable that the effort will be futile. As soon as possible an addition to the asylum will be built, capable of accommodating ten or a dozen more patients, but this addition will be filled in a short time. The commissioners of this county are desirous of sending all their patients to Pueblo, and after undergoing all the expense of transporting their wards from Jacksonville, do not relish the idea of being obliged to send other patients to the same resort. Colorado needs a much larger asylum than that at Pueblo.

Rocky Mountain News 8-16-1890 Cranks and Liquor Those Were the Subjects that Occupied Most of the Time of the County Court Four Unfortunates Found to Be Badly Off About Various Subjects and Committed Lunatics and liquor men held the boards at the county court yesterday afternoon. Three men and one woman were alleged to be insane and by the decision of the four juries so declared. None of the quartet looked prepossessingly intelligent and it did not take any jury but a minute to come to a decision
P. J. Keely, who was the next subject, did not look very insane, though he acted it. In appearance he was a Southerner. Dr. Eskridge was the only witness. He had examined the man at the county jail and found him mentally in a bad condition. He had apparently lost all recollection of what had happened formerly and declared he had been first five years in jail and there twenty-five years, whereas he had been there but two days. Said he was 65 years old, though he was apparently scarcely 40.

Denver Evening Post 3-14-1899 Easily Deceived Officials Doctors Who Cannot Detect Feigned Insanity John Keenan, a convict, escaped from the insane asylum at Pueblo a week ago. How he escaped will probably never be known to the public, and will go down as one of the mysteries for which this institution has become so notorious. Keenan was a member of the James K. Stratton gang of burglars and mail-box thieves that worked in all the large cities in the country. He was arrested here, along with several other members of the gang, and was sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. He and Stratton escaped from the penitentiary. Keenan was re-arrested at Pocatello, Idaho, and Stratton was picked up at Chicago. They were both sent back to the penitentiary to serve out their sentences. After he was taken back to the prison Keenan feigned insanity so well that he was transferred to the asylum, where he was kept as an insane patient, the physicians there not being able to detect the imposture. He has six years more to serve, but as the asylum officials have not yet notified any of the officers of the escape, it is not likely that he will ever be apprehended.
Keenan, John
Denver Evening Post 10-13-1899 Game Warden Fears Assault Was Once Deputy Warden of Penitentiary Game Commissioner Thomas Johnson is carrying a gun to protect himself should he meet J. K. Stratton or any of his pals. Johnson was formerly deputy warden of the penitentiary and kept Stratton continually under restraint. Stratton was indignant at this kind of treatment and threatened to put Johnson's light out if ever he got the chance. Johnson thinks Stratton was aided in his escape by Jim Keenan, who, he believes, is now with him. Keenan is an ex-convict. He feigned insanity and got transferred to the insane asylum several years ago, from which he escaped a few weeks later. Keenan is a pal of Stratton's.

In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. 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.

Creede Candle 2-13-1915 - Fred Kelce, who, for the past week or so, has been in a demented state, was tried before a jury Wednesday afternoon and adjudged insane. For the past week everything possible has been done for his comfort and medical attention failed to restore him to his right frame of mind. This is the first time that Kelce has ever been in this condition and it was hoped it would only be temporary. Sheriff Wm. Orthen departed with him for the Woodcroft Sanitorium at Pueblo, Colorado, Wednesday evening. It is much regretted that this trouble should come upon young Kelce, as he is only 21 years old and has many friends in Creede, and it is hoped that his recovery will be rapid and permanent.

Rocky Mountain News 7-12-1888 Hallucinations Three Unfortunates Examined and Sent to the Insane Asylum at Pueblo Yesterday seemed to be lunatic day in the county. Indeed, the lunacy cases almost equaled in number the actions for divorce. The first case was that of Honora M. J. Keleher. She is a devout Catholic, and her malady takes the direction of intense and eccentric devotion to religious duties. She gives much of her time to reading her prayer book and counting her beads. She also has a political mania. It is a scheme making Dr. Mary Walker president. She was of course placed on the witness stand. In the course of her testimony she presented the picture of a saint in a praying attitude, exclaiming: Here is my picture. I am praying my old confessor out of hell into heaven, and am not crazy. These witnesses have sworn falsely. The jury felt constrained to disregard the poor woman's protest and found her crazy. Mike Lyon proved to be the victim of a strange hallucination. He said he had been in the Arapahoe county jail, and he claimed to have lately been up in heaven to visit his family and promote the interest of the Democratic presidential ticket. John Neil was an old man, and harmless, the victim of hallucinations. He imagined himself to be a prominent politician and a great patenter. He was found insane. All three will be sent to the asylum at Pueblo to-day.

Fort Collins Courier 6-22-1882 About The City (From Monday's Daily.) Mr. William Kelley was to-day judged insane, before a jury in Jude Robinson's court, and was sent to the State Insane Asylum, at Pueblo. No sadder case than this has ever come to our knowledge. At the breaking out of the war, Mr. Kelley was one of the most promising young men in his home neighborhood. He entered the southern army, and by gallant and meritous conduct, won an officer's commission. Exposure and wounds however, wrought fearfully on his nervous system, and when he left the service his intellect was slightly unsettled. However, he came to Colorado and established himself in business at Central City, and barring occasional flighty fits, was looked upon as a thorough-going business-man. Then came the awful Central City fire, when the town was all but entirely destroyed. Mr. Kelley fought the flames on that dreadful day with all the ardor of his sanguine nervous temperament, and so exposed himself that he lost his eyesight for a number of years. But blindness, though sad in itself, was not the only terrible result to the unfortunate man of that day of fierce excitements; he was insane, as it provedalmost hopelessly insane. He has been gradually getting worse ever since, in spite of all the efforts that fraternal love could devise and put into practice. Last fall he came to Collins, and his malady has gained on him with giant strides. The asylum was his own choice in his lucid moments, and, as it seemed, all that could be done, his lot will be henceforth one of seclusion from that world he was so well fitted to adorn.
Kelley, William H.
Fort Collins Courier 11-4-1882 Sheriff Sweeney and Marshal Shortridge left on the morning train, having in charge Mr. W. H. Kelley, who will be placed in the insane asylum at Jacksonville, Ill. If the unfortunate man is as quiet as is expected, the sheriff will only go as far as Omaha, from which point Mr. Kelley will be taken to his destination by Marshal Shortridge alone. The sheriff expects to be in Collins again on next Sunday or Monday. The circumstances attending the sad fate of Mr. Kelley are too well known in Collins and vicinity to need recapitulation; suffice it to say that he was adjudged insane in the probate court some months since, and an attempt was made to get him into the state asylum of Colorado, at Pueblo, but failed, owing to the crowded state of that institution. A more recent attempt to procure him admittance into a Wisconsin asylum also proved futile. Application was then made to the Jacksonville asylum, and a favorable answer received, and the sad journey was begun this morning. Marshal Shortridge has a brother in Iowa, that he has not seen for a long period of years, and he will make him a visit after his charge is disposed of. He will return to Collins by the 6th.
Kelley, William H.
Fort Collins Courier 11-11-1882 Sheriff Sweeney and Marshal Shortridge returned from taking W. H. Kelley to the Jacksonville (Ill.) insane asylum yesterday afternoon. They had as quiet a trip as was possible under the circumstances. Their papers were all right, and the new inmate of the asylum was promptly placed in quarters. The marshal describes the asylum as a very pretty and commodious building, situated about a mile and a half from the city, and has no doubt but what Mr. Kelley will be made perfectly comfortable there, and everything done for him that medical science can accomplish. If he can be restored to his right mind, it will be done. On the way home, Marshal Shortridge paid his long-threatened visit to his brother in Iowa, in which he was joined by Sheriff Sweeney. They spent a day or two very pleasantly with the marshal's brother and family, and then turned their steps homeward arriving in time to get in two good democratic votes, yesterday. They describe the Illinois and Iowa mud as something to be remembered, though not by any means to be enjoyed.
Kelley, William H.
Fort Collins Courier 12-21-1882 Marshal Shortridge yesterday received a telegram from the warden of the Insane asylum at Jacksonville, Ill., informing him that W. H. Kelley, who was recently sent back to that institution, was sinking rapidly from an attack of palsy, and would soon die; also asking if there were any directions in regard to his interment. Mr. Shortridge replied to have the body sent to Independence, Mo., Kelley's old home, for burial. As no more word was received it is supposed that the instructions have been complied with.

Rocky Mountain News 5-12-1888 Liability of Railroads In the Circuit court of the United States, May 11, 1888 Brewer, J. (orally): In 3250, Lyon, conservator of Edward S. Kelly, a lunatic, vs. the Union Pacific Railway company, is a demurrer to the complaint on the ground that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The chief vice of the complaint, as I read it, is that there are too many words in it; it is very diffuse and prolix. I know that some people can shoot an idea at you in a single sentence, short and pithy, and others take a whole page to express the same idea. Of course the former is much pleasanter to examine, but the mere matter of form is not sufficient to sustain an objection to a complaint good in substance, and while it is not very easy to extract from this complaint the pith of it, I think it may be boiled down to about this: That the lunatic whose conservator the plaintiff is, was an express messenger on the defendant's train, as such express messenger he has all the rights of a passenger without pay. He was riding on a mixed train, the train was made up of coaches, some belonging to the defendant and some to the Denver and Rio Grande Railway company; the air brake apparatus of the respective coaches were different and not adjustable one to another, in consequence whereof when the train stopped at Breckenridge and the locomotive was detached, the brakes were not set, and the train by force of gravity started off down a steep hill and was thrown from the track, and Mr. Kelly injured. That is the first count. Sufficient Cause of Action The second count is that the defendant negligently employed incompetent and unskillful agents and servants, and that one of these incompetent agents negligently left the train without setting the hand brakes; in consequence whereof, when the engine was detached the train went off, the car was thrown from the track and Mr. Kelly injured. The first count charges the use of defective appliances, and the second the negligent employment of unskillful agents and servants, in consequence of which Mr. Kelly the lunatic, was injured. Now, if this is the gist and pith of this complaint and its two counts, I think it will have to be adjudged that it states a cause of action, and the demurrer will be overruled. Defendant to answer in twenty days.

Kelly was an express messenger and it is claimed that in a wreck near Breckenridge on November 11, 1885, he was hurt about the head and spine, that he became deranged as a result of the complication of diseases following and is now in the insane asylum at Pueblo. Damages to the amount of $1,999 are asked. The case was tried originally in the county court, where plaintiff obtained judgment. This was reversed by the supreme court and removed from the county to the district court.

Rocky Mountain News 4-6-1887 James is Insane A Youthful Prisoner at the City Jail and His Story James Kelly hung on to the iron lattice work that confines the big room in the city jail which is sometimes used as a morgue or becomes the haven of bibulous gentlemen who imagine they see unreal things, after liberal indulgences yesterday afternoon, and watched with wondering eyes, Old Hutch bring out the tin cups and plates from the bull pen where a score of rough, unclean and unshaven men used bad words, and bet the next prospective chew of tobacco on the result of the election. James was in for safekeeping according to the big blotter in the police clerk's office. Although a scrutiny of James did not reveal any evidence to substantiate such a charge. He was young. The book said he was 18 years of age, but if James had told an interrogator that he was only fourteen there would have been but little doubt expressed. He was a medium sized boy, slender and graceful, with a thin pinched face. In his clear, large blue eyes there was an expression of stupid pain, as if he were unable to realize the true meaning of some great trouble that had come to him. Then his hands were thin and the only animation visible about him was in them. They clutched the iron gratings for an instant and then sought his forehead as it to help him solve some problem that was puzzling his clouded brain. For James was insane. At least that's what the big blue-coated officers told you, and by looking at him one could tell that there was some vague trouble with him. His hands and eyes, over moving and looking about, indicated that, and although he had stood for hours leaning against the bars, with his eyes and hands constantly seeking a new object or position, uttered no word, and even when an inquiry was directed to him, paid no heed but only looked away, and moved his hands and let the cloud became darker on his face. James had been put in the big iron intersticed room, because his parents wanted to have him secure from danger; not that he was himself dangerous, but they wanted none to come to him. He could not himself tell his name, or what he had done, but only mumbled a jargon of unintelligible sounds that were evidently painful to utter, and disagreeable to hear. And so, he stood up studying, with his big, restless eyes, what his brain could not comprehend, clutching at his prison walls and crushing the food that was brought to him into the infinitesimal crumbs, and covering the floor with them. He will probably be held until his parents secure his entrance into the insane asylum, or provide other quarters for him.

Mr. Kelly is a sawmill man and has been working for Hallett & Dowd at their mill near Minturn. He came up Tuesday morning acting very strange, and was picked up by Dr. Gilpin who was returning from Pando. He explained to the doctor that he had been wading the creek above down to drive the electricity out of his body and which explanation he also gave in the court room. He had formerly been confined for two years in the insane asylum at St. Joseph, Mo. The jury was composed of Burbank Wm. Greiner, Graham, Daggett, Howard, Young. On the report of the jury the man was adjudged insane and ordered taken to the state asylum at Pueblo.

Eagle County Blade 1-23-1908 Another Unfortunate. John W. Kelly was tried for insanity yesterday before Judge Tague and a jury. Attorney Fillmore appeared as guardian ad litem for Mr. Kelly. Among the witnesses were James Kelly, a brother of the defendant, Dr. J. G. Gilpin, and Frank Bartle and Bert Hall who have been taking care of him since last Sunday. The evidence showed conclusively that the defendant was insane and that his mind was in such a distracted state as to render him dangerous to himself and others. In addition to the evidence the appearance of Mr. Kelly himself was sufficient to convince the most casual observer of the diseased state of his brain. He constantly interrupted the court by quoting poetry and singing and by frequent references to Indians. His whole appearance indicated an advanced stage of insanity. When asked how old he was, he replied that he really couldn't tell. He was in a highly excited state, although he offered no violence to anyone except himself. The evidence developed no apparent reason for Mr. Kelly's present condition and no hereditary tendencies were shown. The jury rendered a verdict of insane without leaving their seats and Judge Tague committed the unfortunate man to the state asylum for the insane at Pueblo.

The crime was committed last evening in a barn into which the child was coaxed by Kelther. The screams of the little one attracted the attention of its mother who ran to the barn and drove Kelther away. Later he was arrested. Kelther is not considered mentally responsible and it is probable that he will be committed to the insane asylum at Pueblo.

Ellerman, September 30; Peter Latzerer, October 10; Samuel Cook, October 14; Mrs. E. Walin, October 15; Mrs. Emma L. Chernok, November 17; Patrick Rohan, December 4; James Short, December 4; Daniel Myers, December 4; Stephen W. St. John, December 23; Byron D. Allen, December 23; Henry W. Fairchild, December 23; Julia Dunbar, December 23. The expense bills of the sheriff call for round sums for conveying David C. Hart to the asylum, January 5, and A. B. Clark, June 14, but Dr. Thombs' record does not show that they were ever received there. In checking the bills it was found that few of the dates agreed with the prison records as to date of removal of patients, in some cases the difference being as great as two weeks. 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.

When the sheriff went to the asylum one of the officers said Why, we know this fellow. His name is Kennedy, and he escaped from this institution several weeks ago.

Telluride Journal 5-4-1911 A Near Wreck A week ago today a D. & R. G. section crew extracted 17 spikes that had been driven into ties at rail joints, between the ends of rails, and a heavy tie laid across the track, all of which is admirably adapted to disastrous derailment had the obstructions remained undiscovered before a train came along. The affair was kept secret and railroad detectives set at work with the result that James Kennedy, a young ranchman, 18 years of age, was arrested Friday night charged with the crime to which he confessed Saturday morning. He seems to have had no object except a desire to see a train wreck. He is said to be a mental degenerate. His father being in the insane asylum and his mother a drug fiend.

Aspen Tribune 4-17-1896 A Failure All Around. Desperate Work of a Railroad Man in Denver, Shot his Wife and Child. After Attempting to Kill His Family J. O. Kennedy Turns the Weapon and Tries to Suicide. Denver, April 16. - J. O. Kennedy, a clerk in the auditor's office of the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf railroad, shot his wife in the right temple and his son in the mouth at 6 a.m. today. Neither was fatally wounded. Kennedy attempted to cut his own throat, but was prevented from killing himself by the interference of his wife and J. H. Timson, a neighbor. After he was placed in a cell, Kennedy cut an artery in his wrist with a piece of glass, but this second attempt at suicide was also prevented. Kennedy through long illness has undoubtedly become insane. He was formerly traveling auditor for the Union Pacific railroad.

Rocky Mountain News 4-17-1896 Attempt on Four Lives Insane Act of John I. Kennedy in His Own Home At 6 o'clock yesterday morning, John I. Kennedy, employed in the auditor's office of the Gulf road, endeavored to kill his entire family at their home, 242 West Twelfth avenue. At the time of the assault, Kennedy was partially insane, and his attempt at a triple murder can be explained in no other way than by a statement made a few days ago to a friend in which he said that he would rather see his family in the grave than have his wife and children suffer from consumption. The unfortunate man has long been a victim of the terrible disease, and it is thought he believed his wife, 9-year-old son and little daughter to have inherited its ravages. None of his victims are seriously injured, although Mrs. Kennedy will be confined to her bed for several days as a result of a gunshot wound inflicted directly above her left temple. A shot was also fired at his son Willie, but the gun used by the murderous man was an old one, and had not been in use for years, consequently the bullet did not do its fatal work, simply ploughing its way through the lad's upper lip and falling into his mouth. The girl was grabbed by Kennedy at the throat, as if he anticipated strangling her, but she escaped with a slight abrasion of the neck, her father evidently being too weak to choke her. After injuring his entire family Kennedy endeavored to kill himself, first by the use of a knife and later by cutting an artery at the wrist. Both attempts were unsuccessful, although the latter might have resulted seriously had it not been for the prompt arrival of friends. An Assiduous Nurse For many years Kennedy has been a consumptive. His wife, who is a handsome woman of 35, has of late spent many hours at his bedside watching over him as a mother over her child. Late Wednesday night, after several hours' vigil, Mrs. Kennedy decided to obtain a few moments' sleep. She had been watching every movement of her husband for the greater part of the afternoon, and was thoroughly tired out. Soon after daybreak, while his wife was still slumbering at his side, Kennedy quietly arose and, procuring a revolver from a bureau, placed the muzzle of the weapon at the woman's left temple and fired. The bullet struck the skull and glanced off without performing its deadly work. Kennedy then left his wife, went to his son's room and shot the lad in the mouth. In this case, also, the injury was slight, the bullet tearing out one tooth, loosening another and falling into the boy's mouth. Returning to his own room, the madman laid aside his weapon and seized his 4-year-old girl by the throat. His effort was feeble and he did her but slight injury. At this juncture, Mrs. Kennedy recovered from the faint she had been thrown into by the attack, and at once grappled with the would-be murderer, to prevent him from putting an end to his own existence. Weak and emaciated from his terrible disease, the man was no match for Mrs. Kennedy, who, though partially dazed, fought to overpower her husband. The latter finally dropped to the floor and was held there by the wife and neighbors who had arrived upon the scene after the shooting began. Attempted Suicide In a moment when attention was not directed to him, Kennedy grabbed a small knife and endeavored to slash his throat, but the implement was dull, and the injury inflicted of no consequence. A youth living next door summoned Police Surgeon Jarecki who, accompanied by Detective Loomis, quickly arrived upon the scene. The surgeon's services were not required, however, as another neighbor had called Dr. J. N. Thomas, who lives but a short distance from the house, and the physician was already dressing the wounds. Kennedy was removed to the police station, where he was charged with assault to kill. Mayor McMurray, Auditor Parks, of the Gulf road, and Kennedy's brother-in-law, were among those who called upon the would-be murderer at the city jail. All spoke in the highest terms of Kennedy, and were much moved at his crazed action. After being placed in a cell, Kennedy again made an attack upon himself. At 10 o'clock Jailer Hobart had occasion to pass by the prisoner and noticed a pool of black, clotted blood at his side. The jailer lifted him up and found that he had utilized a small looking glass to cut an artery in his wrist. Doctor Mack was summoned and dressed the wound, after which the patient was carefully guarded until his removal to the county hospital a few hours later. Mrs. Kennedy's injuries are painful, but not serious. The shock to her system will confine her to her room for a short time, although she professed to be strong and well. Had the weapon used by the madman been of a more modern type, in all probability the work would have been successful. A brother-in-law of Kennedy stated last evening that a fear that his family would fall victims to consumption, caused the crazed man to attempt to kill his loved ones. It is understood that no efforts will be made to prosecute the charge of assault to kill, neither will there be any charges of insanity preferred.

Rocky Mountain News 3-31-1886 A Frosted Fugitive An Escaped Lunatic Sent to the County Hospital with Frozen Feet A demented man named W. N. Kenyon was taken to the County hospital yesterday to be treated for frosted feet. Kenyon attracted attention by his queer actions and was lodged in jail for safe keeping. He said he had escaped from the lunatic asylum at Pueblo and had walked from that place, being out in the snow storm Friday night. He complained of his feet hurting him. They were examined and several of his toes found to be mortified. He will lose his toes and if the mortification can not be arrested will lose his feet. Kenyon is a simple harmless lunatic who imagines that he, and not Mr. Cleveland, is president of the United States. He also thinks he has a mission to retire gold from circulation, so that silver can be used exclusively.

He had been out on the prairie during the recent storm. His feet are badly frozen and perhaps it will be necessary to amputate them. He imagined he had been elected president of the United States and was armed with a commission to fill the executive chair of the nation. He intended to inaugurate numerous reforms, one of which was to abolish the use of gold in any form throughout the government and substitute silver instead.

Boulder Daily Camera 2-2-1894 The Kerr Estate Thomas Kerr Resigns as Conservator of the Estate When Mrs. David Kerr of Louisville, became insane, her property became the subject of care of the county court. Thomas Kerr, a son, was appointed its conservator and has since administered the affairs of the estate. Some misunderstanding among the children, which, however, is not of a bitter character, has induced Mr. Kerr to resign and it is probable some well known citizen will be appointed by Judge Wright to look after the estate. Tom resigned to avoid misunderstandings among members of the family, there being several children equally interested in the estate at the demise of their mother.

Boulder Daily Camera 2-3-1894 The Kerr Estate In the matter of the estate of Mrs. David Kerr, insane, Thos. Kerr presented his report to Judge Wright this morning, together with his request to be relieved. He was discharged and, on agreement of the parties, Hon. Fred Kobler was appointed conservator. When Mr. Kerr assumed the conservatorship of his mother's estate, it was in debt to the amount of $8,000. Today Thomas turned over four bankable notes for $3,400 each, part proceeds of the sale of coal land, together with some cash. Mrs. Kerr's revenues from rentals and other sources now amount to $1,200 a year and there is no debt against the estate. That portion belonging to Mr. Kerr's father is, also, unhampered by debt and the family affairs have been brought to an excellent condition. Tom Kerr, in all these transactions had exhibited a degree of sagacity which has brought him the congratulations of all familiar with the affairs of the estate.

Willard Teller appears for some of the children. Thos. Kerr's services as conservator covered a period of several years and his bill is what he asks all parties in interest and Judge Wright to determine upon and settle. Over this a dispute was certain from the start.

Kerr, formerly a well known and respected resident of this county, had died there, although his relatives here had received no information on the subject. Ale. Kerr, a brother of the deceased, wrote a letter of inquiry to the superintendent, enclosing a clipping from one of the Denver papers. The doctor replied that George E. Kerr had died there on December 20, 1898, and had been well Buried at Mountain View cemetery. He vouchsafed no excuse for neglecting to notify the relatives or authorities here, and referring to the newspaper clipping pronounced it unfair, and calculated to cause anxiety to those having friends here. This is but one of many similar cases,all tending to prove Thombs' palpable neglect and mismanagement, yet the investigating committee accomplished little or nothing calculated to partially remove this stigma from the fair name of our state.

But effective as was the shot of the attorney for the defense, Attorney General Campbell came back with a sensational disclosure. He asked the witness (Ernest Weinhousen, the druggist at the asylum) to turn to a page of the record (record of births and deaths) where a patient had died. The entry of George E. Kerr was taken. The entry read: Received from Jefferson county; sex, male; place of nativity, Pennsylvania; age 66 years; occupation, school teacher; married; epileptic mania; died, Dec. 20, 1898. Do you know in what room he died? No, sir. Is the dead body here now? No. Did you burn it, bury it, or dissect it? Answer from your record. I cannot.

Mr. Wheeler also said that he had requested C. L. Stonaker to furnish reports and data. And now I want to call attention to the admission of Senator Felton that the books of the institution were not properly kept, he continued. This is an admittance that one of the findings of the committee of the state board of charities was correct. He then referred to the death of George E. Kerr of Jefferson county who had hosts of friends. The death of that man was not known to his family and friends until the investigation brought the fact to light, and from the records it could not be learned whether his body had been burnt or buried or sold for dissection.

Denver Evening Post 2-27-1899 Glances Over Colorado Dr. Thombs, the temporarily deposed superintendent of the Pueblo insane asylum, recently wrote to Alex Kerr that his brother George was buried in the cemetery and his grave was marked for future removal of the body if desired. Seeing that the unfortunate man died at the asylum last November, and this letter is the very first scrap of information sent from the superintendent or any of his force to any member of the family of the deceased, it looks as though the loose and careless methods practiced by Dr. Thombs ought to be brought to an end and that he be ousted entirely from the position he has held
- Golden Globe. Note: Mountain View Cemetery in Pueblo lists George E. Kerr as being buried in their cemetery, died December 20, 1898, at age 66.

Steamboat Pilot 3-9-1921 Tom Kilpatrick Goes Insane and Is Sent to State Hospital It was a great shock to Steamboat people last week when Tom Kilpatrick, popular barber and a resident here for four years, became insane. At the start it was only a queerness, a buoyancy and hallucination of riches, but it developed rapidly and on Saturday night he had to be confined in jail. The Odd Fellows looked after him for the first few days of the difficulty. On Monday he was taken before Judge Morning on an insanity charge and the findings were signed by Doctors Kernaghan and Willett. Yesterday morning he was taken to the state hospital at Pueblo by John Frye and Riley Armstrong, the latter representing the Odd Fellows. Mrs. Kilpatrick and young son accompanied him. Tom Kilpatrick has since his residence here been an enterprising, industrious and public spirited citizen, quiet in his demeanor and a good business man. He owned the barber shop, which he bought from Chas. D.Lockhart, and also bought a nice residence in Crawford addition. Last year he was manager of the Steamboat baseball team, always taking great interest in athletics. Many friends hope for his speedy return to health. The barber shop will be continued with J. A. McCormick in charge.

Akron Weekly Pioneer Press 2-25-1898 - Dave Kimler has returned from the asylum at Pueblo, and is at his home north of Otis.
Kimler, David
Akron Weekly Pioneer Press 9-17-1897 Dave Kimler Insane A jury on Monday afternoon last sat in Judge Robertson's court to determine the sanity of Dave Kimler, living a few miles north of Otis. Some time Saturday Kimler, with gun in hand, ran the family of Rev. E. E. Pinner off their place, and his actions became so threatening that Sheriff Tuttle was notified. Perry Tuttle, Geo. W. Ball, Jim Wilson and Sam Farrar were detailed to go out from Akron and bring the man into town. The party left about 9 o'clock Saturday night and reached Akron Sunday noon with Kimler in charge. When the Tuttle party took him in charge Kimler appeared rational enough, and in fact seemed all right during the trial, except at certain points, when his hallucinations became apparent. He imagined many queer things, and the amount of blood he saw was appalling. The jury was composed of F. M. Seely, D. W. Irwin, H. A. Gibson, Jess Kincheloe, W. L. Swartz and Ed Graves. Several witnesses were examined neighbors, who have known Kimler a long time, and they all, with one exception, considered him demented, and gave instances of his actions and conversation. A. J. Johnson represented the State and August Muntzing appeared in behalf of Mr. Kimler. The examination was thorough and at length, and after an absence of a few minutes the jury returned, finding that Kimler was insane as charged. Judge Robertson reserved his finding until Wednesday when he ordered him confined in the asylum. Mr. Kimler stood high in the esteem of his neighbors, who were visibly affected. He is a rancher, unmarried, and living alone. His premises, and in fact all his possessions, are heavily mortgaged, and this is tho't to have weighed on his mind, and brooding over his misfortunes undermined his reason.

Akron Weekly Pioneer Press 10-8-1897 August Muntzing appeared before the board as conservator for David Kimler, (insane) to show the condition of the estate of said Kimler.

Telluride Daily Journal 11-23-1914 Emmett King Is Adjudged Insane In The County Court Today Emmett King, about 32 years of age, a resident of this county for the past six or eight years, was adjudged insane in the county court before Judge M. L. Brown at 10 o'clock this morning. The jury hearing the evidence deliberated only a few minutes. Undersheriff Edgar Kracaw and Deputy Herman Wunderlich will take the unfortunate man to Work's Sanitarium in Pueblo, leaving here in the morning. King was taken into custody by Marshal March Saturday afternoon last, being incarcerated in the city jail. His conduct became quite violent, and it was impossible to keep him clothed. Following an examination of him by Dr. J. W. S. Cross, King was yesterday transferred to the county jail. It became necessary to put him in a straight jacket to prevent him from injuring his person. The hearing of the afflicted man was set for 10 o'clock this morning at which time a jury was impaneled and evidence taken. Following the swearing in of the jury, which was composed of Messrs. John Wardlaw, T. W. Sampson, Evan Roberts, Milt Narron, B. F. Ross, and C. M. Harrington, the taking of evidence was commenced. William March, William Midwinter, Dr. J. W. S. Cross and Frank Linker were put on the stand in the order named and testified regarding King's condition. Throughout the trial, King, who was present, waved his head back and forth and frequently bowed almost to the floor. According to the evidence secured in the case, King became irrational shortly after noon Saturday, running through the streets of the city until taken into custody by Marshal March on the railroad track a short distance west of the city. He has completely lost his identity, and imagines himself to be Jesus Christ come to earth to redeem mankind. He persisted in remaining in a nude condition until kept clothed by force. He has been employed on various dairy routes in the city and has worked for a short time at the plant of the Primos Chemical Company in Vanadium. He has an aged mother, Mrs. James Taylor, who is said to reside at Hotchkiss.

Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 3-24-1891 - A Subject for Pueblo - A Crazy Man Brought from Malta Sunday and Taken to the County Jail - Sunday afternoon several railroad men found a man, named John King, lying on the track at Malta, and when they roused him up, they found that he was of unsound mind. The authorities here were notified and they instructed the men at Malta to send him up by the first passenger train. Deputy Sheriff Horrigan met the train at the depot Sunday evening and brought the unfortunate to the county jail. The man is not dangerously insane, the form of insanity being in the nature of melancholia. Sometimes he becomes demonstrative and will talk in a loud voice, and imagines that he sees people in the air. He will be taken before the county judge and after the preliminaries are gone through will be sent to Pueblo, whenever that institution is ready to receive him.

Telluride Daily Journal 1-26-1901 Rod King Temporarily Insane Denver Republican Rod S. King, for years a familiar figure at the State house, who became temporarily insane at Colorado Springs and was arrested there Tuesday, was brought to Denver last night. Mr. King was given into the custody of Deputy State Boiler Inspector McAllister by Sheriff Goddard, and when brought to this city was taken to the home of his mother where he will be cared for until he recovers. Mr. King has for several years been secretary of the Democratic state central committee. He was Governor Adams' private secretary during his last term of office, and upon the incoming of Governor Thomas became deputy state engineer. He is known all over the state, having hundreds of friends. Of late his eyesight has been failing him, and his mental trouble is attributed to worry over his eyes. He has been acting strangely for several weeks. Although he did not drink to excess, he has appeared as though partially intoxicated, talking incoherently. Lately his trouble seemed to take the form of kleptomania. He secured an annual pass belonging to another man, and insisted on riding on it, although he had one in his own name in his pocket. The conductor then put him off at Colorado Springs. Before he left the train King is said to have abstracted all the portable toilet appliances on the train, and the porters' clothes. Tuesday night he appeared at the Colorado Springs depot and picked up a grip belonging to J. R. Morrison, a railway man. He was arrested and frankly gave his right name, not seeming to realize that he had done anything out of the way. Colorado Springs friends came to his aid, and he was released. Mr. King is unmarried and lives with his mother on Capitol hill. She is herself in poor health.

He was convicted by the jury of insanity.

Kingsbury, J.E.
Yampa Leader 8-20-1909 Presence of Rich Ore is Certain The stories published by the Denver papers last week that one J. E. Kingsbury had taken to market from the Gore range 228 sacks of ore returning values of from $8 to $20 a pound, appear upon careful investigation to be principally the products of a brain which had become badly disordered from too much whiskey. It seems doubtful if Kingsbury has been in Routt county at all, and it is not certain that he will be soon, for he is now in jail at Cripple Creek on a charge of beating a board bill, and Sheriff von Phul of Teller county states that it will probably be necessary to commit the man to an insane asylum. However, back of the wild story told by this pipe dreamer, it has been positively established through the investigations which these reports started, that the rich ore which for years has been known to exist on the western side of the Gore range, has been found in place. Dozens of men have, at one time and another, come out from around the head of Little Rock creek, 12 to 15 miles east of Yampa, with wonderfully rich specimens of float, and many prospectors have gone into that district to look for its source, which has become to be generally known as the Lost mine, but until lately the lead has not been found. The Leader is now in a position to state that it knows positively that the main ledge from which the rich float has come has been discovered, and that it is being developed by a practical mining man. An accident sustained by a son of this man has caused him to suspend work temporarily, in order to be with his son, but he will soon return, and he expects this fall to be ready to announce to the world the exact location of the big find. It is stated that the vein has been traced for many miles, and that it carries tremendous values throughout that distance. It is said to vary from four to 20 feet in thickness, and those who have seen it confidently predict that as soon as the general public becomes aware of the locality, a great mining district will be established, probably the greatest camp ever known in the state. The Leader is in a position to watch developments, and as progress is made it will keep its readers posted.

He said that he was chained to the stone wall and kept there day and night. Food was thrown at the prisoner, the man said, through a hole in the floor. The man's tale was horrible throughout and Officer Sheperson was at once sent to investigate the case. The officer found things in the Hamilton household quite the opposite to what the unknown informant had charged. Kinkade was taking things easy in the back yard and stoutly denied that he had ever been confined in the cellar or treated harshly.

The nature of her affliction was pronounced acute melancholia by Dr. Alexander. Its manifestations included desire to destroy property and to inflict injury upon herself. One hallucination is that she caused the death of her sister and child although both are living, and at times she imagines she has killed her parents. The examination was brief, the jury being quickly satisfied of her unsafe condition and she was ordered committed to the state institution for the insane. Symptoms of an unbalanced mental condition have been manifested since last May, but she has only been violent for a few days. She was taken to Pueblo Saturday evening and the State institution being overcrowded, she was committed to the Mt. Pleasant Home for the insane, where she will have the best of treatment and medical attendance.

Rocky Mountain News 2-22-1891 A Sad Case Why a Receiver Was Appointed for the Kinsey Implement Company The appointment of Mr. E. F. Conant as receiver of the W. J. Kinsey Implement company by the district court yesterday calls to mind the death of two of Denver's most respected and energetic citizens, which cast a gloom over the entire commercial world, not only of this city, but of the entire state and West. It will be remembered that a year or two before the death of Mr. Kinsey his wife became hopelessly insane and was then and is now confined in an asylum. Last year Mr. Kinsey was cut off in the prime of life, leaving two minor children. At the death of Mr. Kinsey Mr. L. L. Higgins, who was a large stockholder in the Kinsey Implement company, assumed charge of the business and ran it up to a few days ago, when his death occurred. For the purpose of protecting the interests of the survivors of this item (?) Mr. Conant was appointed receiver. He is thoroughly acquainted with the business, having served W. J.

Kintzi, Olga
Hugo Range Ledger 4-19-1919 Tragic Death of Miss Olga Kintzi In a fit of despondency as a result of her mental condition brought about by a nervous breakdown, Miss Olga Kintzi, beloved and respected by all who knew her, ended her young life at Center, Colorado, last Monday afternoon, April 14, at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John Brubacher, where she had been taken by her widowed mother, Mrs. Amelia Kintzi, in the hope that the change would prove beneficial and restore her to normal health. Taunted by a fear at all times that she might become hopelessly insane and a helpless charge on her relatives and friends, she chose to end it all, and in a tragic manner strangled herself in a washhouse by using a small rope. She had been absent from her mother and aunt but a few moments who had been carefully watching her, and her almost lifeless body was discovered by her aunt, Mrs. Brubacher, who had gone in search of her. Miss Kintzi was popular with all who had business at the county court house, and for no less than ten years she had been a most efficient clerk there, first as deputy clerk in the office of County Clerk Alex. S. Johnson; then deputy treasurer for former treasurer, H. C. White, and continuing as deputy for four years for Wm. M. Jones, the present treasurer. For the last three years, she had also acted as deputy clerk of the district court. She had many supporters for the nomination last summer for county treasurer on the Republican ticket, but this offer she declined. The news of her sudden death came as a great shock to her many friends in Hugo, and the sad news was almost unbelievable. Of a timid disposition, she was always kindly and courteous to the many patrols of the treasurer's office, a hard and conscientious worker, none too strong physically, her health became broken, and she was urged to take a long rest from her official duties, but seemingly too late, for while her condition improved somewhat by a sojourn at Excelsior Springs, Mo., and later at a sanitarium at Pueblo, Colorado, the afflicted mind and body was slow in healing. The remains were brought to Hugo by her heart-broken mother, and her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John Brubacher, arriving here Thursday afternoon. The funeral was held at the Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and Rev. J. Carroll Phillips officiated, he delivered an impressive sermon. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful, and the attendance was large. Five of her cousins, Messrs. Emil, Oscar, Waldo and Otto Ewy, and Arnold Brubacher, and Mr. H. G. Gaywood, were the pall bearers, and she was tenderly laid to rest in Hugo cemetery. Miss Olga Kintzi was born at Bingham Lake, Minnesota, Dec. 20, 1889 and was an only child. There she spent her childhood days and was graduated from the high school at that place. Shortly after her graduation, she came with her mother to Hugo, and taught school here for a year or so. Later she became a deputy in the county clerk's office, growing to full womanhood as a most trustworthy and capable official. At the time of her death, she was 29 years, 3 months and 24 days of age. She leaves a widowed mother; a number of relatives in Hugo, Limon and Center, Colorado, besides a host of sorrowing friends to mourn the loss of an affectionate daughter; and a lovable Christian woman, firm in her womanly belief. Long will she be remembered for her many kindly ways and her studious attention to duty. To her lonely mother and sorrowing relatives, we extend heartfelt sympathy.

Colorado Springs Gazette 6-22-1878 Klawen Attempts to Escape The vicinity of the state penitentiary at Canon City was the scene of much excitement on Monday morning, occasioned by the attempted escape of Klawen, a criminal who is well known in this section of the country. A repetition of the account of his many offenses, his escape and recapture several months ago is unnecessary, and it is sufficient to state that he was sentenced by the district court, in Colorado Springs to sixteen years' imprisonment ten for horse-stealing, five for grand larceny and one for stealing a saddle. For several days past he has been acting as if insane. He was examined by physicians and by them pronounced to be not in his senses. The officials at the penitentiary then relaxed their vigilance somewhat, and Klawen was given the liberty of the yard of the prison. On Monday morning, several convicts were at work on the new walls, with a guard of several armed men watching them. Klawen managed to get near the unfinished gate and suddenly made a break for its open portals. One of the guards halted (?) him three times, but the escaping prisoner paid no attention to him and kept on. The guard then fired and was followed by a shot from another of the guards. Both men missed, and a third shot was made with no better result. Klawen gained the bridge over the Arkansas, about half a mile distant, and was soon across the river. Two of the guards had now mounted horses and were speeding after the fleeing convict. The latter saw that there was no chance for him and halted in the yard of a house, where he was recaptured and taken back to prison. He was then locked up in a dark (?) cell.

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.

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. Note: David Kline is actually supposed to be Joseph Kline.

Denver Evening Post 5-2-1899 For Insanity Examination of Four Persons Believed to Be Mentally Unsound Three Will Go to the Asylum
Mrs. Ellen Knight, a pleasant Irish woman, was charged with being insane since September last. She imagines herself a spirit and walks about with a cross in her hand. She was put on the witness stand and told her own story. I have heard here a great deal more than is so, she said. Sometimes I have seen a shadow about my bed, but it is all because my husband drinks, and drinking will bring evil in the house. He is no protection to any one. I have seen the spirits of real nice gentlemen and ladies, who said to me that they were in trouble and asked me to pray for them. But it was perhaps the imagination of my eyes. The rest of her tale was very rambling and it had to be stopped, it being seemingly endless. The jury disagreed as to her mental condition.

Knowland, Mary
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.
Knowland, Mary E.
Denver Evening Post 12-1-1896 Drinks a Gallon of Milk Daily Allowance of an Insane Woman Her Abnormal Appetite Six weeks have elapsed since Mrs. Mary E. Knowland, who was picked up in an unconscious condition on Larimer street, has been received at the county hospital, and the unfortunate shows but faint indications of improvement. The poor brain, wrecked by disease induced by early dissipation, is hopelessly clouded and will never be any better. The woman is now a hopeless maniac. She spends hours each day crooning a monotonous jargon unintelligible to all. Her appetite is wonderful. She eats ravenously and at any time food is offered to her. Mrs. Knowland guzzles more milk daily than a dozen ordinary patients. Her allowance of that fluid exceeds a gallon every twenty-four hours and still she is not satisfied. When there is room for her at the State insane asylum Mrs. Knowland will be sent there, where she will probably remain until she dies.
Knowland, Mary E.
Denver Evening Post 11-7-1896 The Woman is Insane Sad Condition of Mrs. Mary E. Knowland Mrs. Mary E. Knowland, the unfortunate woman whose identity was revealed by an article in The Evening Post, after she had laid in a stupor seventy-two hours at the county hospital, is insane. Her condition upon her reception at that institution was suggestive of apoplexy, induced by a serious disease of the blood. The unfortunate was treated on that theory and the diagnosis of her condition was verified by the prompt action of the medicines administered. Unconscious, she lay quietly for two days, but on the third evidenced a slight improvement. Days, however, passed before the mysterious patient rallied wholly from the lethargy. Finally the poor creature was enabled to utter a few guttural sounds, quite indistinguishable, however. As her malady gradually yielded to medical treatment Mrs. Knowland became more versatile, on occasions devoting hours in attempt to speak in a manner her attendants could comprehend. The effort thus far has been futile, although the demented creature utters a peculiar jargon, much like the crooning of an imbecile. Only recently the woman's actions indicated that her brain was hopelessly affected. During the night she alarmed the patients in the woman's ward by making a sudden attack upon a sleeping woman. Fortunately she was detected by the nurse on duty and conquered before she had succeeded in inflicting any injury on the defenseless patient. It was deemed advisable to remove her to a cell for the insane. Mrs. Knowland now occupies a diminutive cell in an apartment containing four small cells, each guarded by an iron door and tenanted by women as unfortunate as she. The attendant physician at the hospital opines that physically Mrs. Knowland will improve decidedly, but that her recovery mentally is impossible, as she is afflicted with dementia. The patient is probably 45 years of age and bears every evidence of having lead a life of dissipation. The marks of intemperance are plainly visible. While her cheeks are rosy as a school girl's, there is an ominous glitter in her eyes which forebodes treachery and violence. Apparently realizing what is being said to her, Mrs. Knowland's attempts to reply are pitiable, the tongue and lips move but the jargon which issues tells the story of a brain racked and shattered, the ultimate destination of the afflicted and friendless creature is a temporary refuge at the State Insane Asylum until death relieves the unfortunate.

Investigation of her sanity was made at the request of the treasury department, Washington, on account of the many very abusive letters received there from Miss Knox, demanding money and suggesting changes in the methods of the department. Miss Knox is regarded as perfectly harmless, but imagines herself the owner of vast wealth, and a few months ago created a sensation in Chicago by laying claim to millions of dollars' worth of property in that city.

He announced himself to be a poet and prophet with ability to confer the Holy Ghost upon people. Nels Knutson thirsted for this sort of religious fervor and was so overcome with enthusiasm when the transfer had been made by Taylor that he rushed into the streets howling with joy. The unsympathetic authorities ran him in, and when they found out what was the matter with him, railroaded Taylor and himself to the insane asylum. Knutson was discharged some time ago as cured and returned to Sterling. Taylor has gone to work on a ranch near here and claims to be still bubbling over with the old-time power which exercised such an extraordinary influence upon Knutson.

Rocky Mountain News 8-1-1886 Surely Insane The Pueblo Yarn About Koehler's Insanity Unjust and Untrue The story that comes from Pueblo, through the Pueblo Chieftain, about a patient, G. A. Koehler, released from the Pueblo insane asylum, does indeed read like a romance, as the Chieftain says. But the article published by the Chieftain is not based upon the cold, hard facts, but doubtless upon the story of Koehler himself, whose recollection of the circumstances attending his trial are, since his recovery, very bad. The article does an injustice to the Denver court and officers, and could the Chieftain hear the evidence of the officials as it appeared in the court it would not question the finding of the court, no matter how sane Mr. Koehler may now be. The circumstances attending the arrest June 12, as reported by Sergeant Hamshire, are not at all as given by the Chieftain. The patrol wagon was called by officers at the water works, who believed the man to be crazy and when the wagon found him he was without a shirt, his pants were badly torn and he was almost covered in mud. He told the officers he was not married, but expected to be in a week. When in the city jail he was so wild that he had to be chained and it was through the advice of the city physician that he was taken to the county jail and afterward tried for lunacy. His conduct at the county jail, as testified to by the officers of the jail will not bear printing and was of such a character that it could not leave a doubt in any jury's mind as to his insanity. There was not and is not now any question in the officers' minds as to his insanity then. If he has recovered it is possible, aye, probable, that he has no remembrance of his actions when reason was dethroned, but the Chieftain, in the manner of publishing his story, does a great injustice to Denver officials and to a Denver court, and the Hyphen, with its usual shortsightedness, repeats the injustice by publishing the Chieftain article without investigating the case.

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
In one corner of the room with his face buried in a pillow lay a dark handsome man of about 40 years. His eyes lit up as he was accosted, but he soon relapsed into indifference. This was R. H. Hubbell, known among the sporting fraternity as Dick Hubbell. He formerly worked at the Arcade and is well known in all the large gambling joints of the state. His is a mild dementia, or disinclination at times to talk. By his side, motionless as a piece of marble, lay Ole Kolin, a Swede
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

Rocky Mountain News 6-1-1892 Adjudged Insane Georgetown, Colo., May 31 Henry Kramer, a Clear creek pioneer, was brought before the county court to-day on an inquisition of lunacy. A jury was impaneled and, after hearing the evidence, adjudged him insane. Kramer's insanity is a form of religious dementia. He has always been a careful, hard-working man, but in his last years has been left very lonely, and this feeling has preyed upon his mind until it has assumed a form where it would result in injury to himself without proper restraint.

Going suddenly insane, William Krasting, wealthy farmer living southwest of here, attempted repeatedly to choke his wife to death and only by superhuman efforts did she circumvent him and finally reach a telephone and summon help. To the fact that Krasting's illness had made him blind his wife owes her life, for had he been able to see her, she believes he would have killed her.

Carbonate Chronicle 5-5-1913 Tried To Choke Wife Farmer Goes Insane Fort Lupton, April 26. Becoming suddenly insane and blind William Krasting, a wealthy farmer living southwest of here, fought for an hour with his wife in an attempt to choke her to death, according to her story to county authorities tonight. Mrs. Krasting says she saved her life by eluding him and hiding under the bed, where he could not discover her, and later calling over the telephone to police authorities for aid. Mrs. Krasting was alone in the home when the affair is said to have occurred. She declares her husband had asked her a question which she did not understand, and asked him to repeat it. She claims her request angered him and drove him to insanity. Recent and violent illness, she thinks, is responsible for his loss of sight. The sheriff took Krasting to a hospital where physicians declare he is suffering from a tumor on the brain.

Rocky Mountain News 1-4-1895 Sad Scenes in Court Number of Demented People Officially Pronounced Insane There were some sad scenes in the county court yesterday when six lunatics were brought from the county hospital and placed on trial to determine their sanity. Five of the unfortunates are women, and each seemed possessed of the idea that the time had come when she should give an exhibition of her peculiar mania. Mary Williams is one of the most dangerous lunatics that has ever been treated at the hospital. A few weeks since she attempted to set fire to the institution by throwing clothing upon the red hot stove in the corridor of the basement. She raved continually during the trial, and was carried, struggling, after the verdict was returned, to the ambulance in waiting. Hannah Swan is a very pretty young woman and the doctors said that her relatives gave her age at 22. She was employed for a time as a domestic at Fort Logan. One middle-aged woman, Tillie Lundgren, talked continuously, and it was with difficulty that the trial could proceed. There were two women who sat and stared at their surroundings, apparently unmindful of what was going on. Their names were Fannie Payton and Clara Wilson. Fred Krause gave the attendants no trouble. The jury found in each instance that the party was unable to care for herself and was dangerous to her person and to that of others. They were all taken back to the hospital, where they will remain until there is room for them at the asylum at Pueblo.

Comrade Holden reports that there is no possible show for Kreiger regaining his reason, and that all hopes for him have been given up, by those in charge of the asylum. The demented man formerly resided in Galena, Illinois, where the writer first met him long before the war of the Rebellion.

Yampa Leader 7-4-1908 Ben Krewson Adjudged Insane V. B. Krewson, a carpenter who has been in Yampa for the past four or five years, having formerly been a resident of Douglas county, was on Sunday taken to Hahn's Peak, where he was the next day adjudged insane in the county court. Krewson was at one time in good circumstances, having been reputed to be worth about $40,000. Most of this he made in mining at Cripple Creek, where he put it back into the ground in efforts to increase his fortune. Discouraged over his failure to become rich, he gave himself up to dissipation, and for the past few years has been an abject slave of drink. The unfortunate man had been considered queer for several years, but until lately there had been no fear of his doing any harm to either himself or others. But recently he is said to have been suffering from the hallucination that everyone for whom he worked owed him large sums of money, even though they settled their indebtedness to him according to contract. It is reported that he had threatened to kill several parties, and it was decided best to send him to the asylum, where he might have proper treatment.

Krez, A.C.
Telluride Daily Journal 9-16-1911 Mining Man Insane A. C. Krez Taken In Charge A. C. Krez, a well known mining man at Rico, was taken in charge by Sheriff Tallman on Tuesday in a demented condition. Krez was found wandering about the court house and seemed to be afraid that some one was going to rob him. He was taken in for his own safety and is reported today to be somewhat improved. As soon as the man's identity became known a telegram was sent to Alfred Krez in Milwaukee, telling him of A. C. Krez's condition. Dave Krez, another brother, of Cheboygan, Wis., who is a judge of the probate court at that place, arrived here on last night's train and took charge of his brother. The two left on the morning train for Wisconsin where A. C. Krez will be cared for by his brothers. The father of the Krez brothers was at one time mayor of Milwaukee. Krez is widely known here, having lived here and at Rico for a number of years. He is said to have mining property in Rico, Montana and Alaska, and is in otherwise good financial circumstances. Special to the Daily Journal Rico, Sept. 16. The report that A. C. Krez, mining man, was confined in jail in Telluride suffering from mental troubles, came as a great shock to his friends here. Mr. Krez has been operating in this camp for quite a number of years. He was president of the Rico Independent Mining company, and is at present one of the principal stockholders of the Rosebud Mining company, of which company C. A. Lammers, the prominent Denver bottling merchant, is the president, and John Eder, also well known, is the local manager. In recent years Mr. Krez has been very successful in some mining ventures in Goldeld, Nev. His home is in Milwaukee, where his relatives reside, but he has for many years been spending most of his time in the west looking after his mining interests.

Aspen Weekly Times 7-21-1900 John Kruh, the jeweler, was tried yesterday afternoon in the county court on an inquisition of lunacy. Arthur Maitby appeared for the people and Ernest A. Martin for Kruh. A jury of six of Aspen's citizens were secured; their names are Nate Likens, Luke Chapman, Alex Fort, George Getchell, Albert Jensen and _____ Coutts. The facts developed showed that ever since the death of his child about six weeks ago, he had imagined himself in direct communication with the spirit world and at times the direct organ of the almighty. He testified that the spirits exercised control over him and that when in such condition he was forbidden to eat as he would thereby strengthen himself so greatly that the spirits could not obtain the mastery over him. After listening to the evidence, and his own as well, the jury after deliberation found him demented. There is no doubt but that for some weeks past the man has been deranged and he has been closely watched by the officers and his friends. Sheriff Irving goes to Pueblo with him this evening, at which place under the scientific treatment he will there receive it is confidently expected he will rapidly improve and ultimately recover from the sad visitation.
