Nash, Frank
Telluride Daily Journal 6-25-1923 Frank Nash Charged With Being Insane Papers charging Frank Nash with being insane were made out Saturday, and within a short time a committee of local physicians will make an examination of the man to see whether or not his condition warrants sending him to the state asylum. According to reports from the sheriff's office, the man gives every indication of being mentally unbalanced. He was noisy and raving in the jail most of Sunday, and Monday morning; in addition to making plenty of noise, was breaking up much of the furniture on the interior of the jail, so that it became necessary for Sheriff Wagner and Deputy Reece to lock him in a cage.

Mrs. Shoemaker's ailment seemed to manifest itself altogether in melancholy and absent mindedness. Mr. Shoemaker accompanied the party.

Durango Wage Earner 5-25-1905 Ouray, May 24. Oliver Neeley, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Neeley, well known throughout the San Juan, especially in Silverton, was adjudged insane yesterday morning and taken to a private institution at Pueblo. The young man commenced ailing some two or three weeks ago but only became violent last week. In fact, it was only Saturday he was placed under restraint and Sunday became so bad he had to be placed in a straight-jacket. The young man would have graduated this spring from the Ouray High school and was popular with his associates.
Neeley, Oliver
Telluride Daily Journal 5-23-1905 A Sad Case At Ouray Sad misfortune has overtaken the family of C. F. Neeley of Ouray, well and popularly known throughout the San Juan. On Sunday last their son, Oliver, aged seventeen years, who was to have graduated with high honors from the Ouray High Schools next week, was taken suddenly insane Sunday morning, becoming so violent that it was necessary to apply the straight jacket to restrain him. This morning he was adjudged insane in court and committed to a private asylum at Pueblo, with little encouragement for his recovery.
Neely, Oliver
6-2-1905 Ouray Plaindealer - The late news from Oliver Neely who was taken to Pueblo insane asylum about ten days ago are exceedingly encouraging and strong hopes are entertained for his ultimate recovery. The doctor in charge of the case states that it will require from three to four months to complete a recovery but he feels that at the end of that time he will be successful. The patient has rational intervals lasting from one half to one hour and his violent spells are not near so fierve as they were in the incipent stages. Every person in Ouray hopes that this young man will again be with us in his former state of mind at an early date.

Neff, William
Silverton Standard 3-15-1902 William Neff, one of the pioneer prospectors of San Juan county who became demented several years ago and was committed to the insane asylum at Pueblo, died Tuesday at that institution. He was 56 years of age and an old soldier.
Neff, William
Silverton Standard 12-31-1899 Wm. Neff, one of San Juan county's old time prospectors was brought before County Judge McNutt, at 2 p.m., Thursday on a charge of lunacy. Charge substantiated to the best understanding of the jurors summoned and the unfortunate man was turned over to the county authorities for safe keeping and will be sent to the insane asylum at Pueblo. Neff, as will be remembered, served in the Union Army during the war of the rebellion and several years ago was an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Monte Vista. At one time he took the Keely cure in Denver. He is a pensioner from the government and the pension has evidently done him more harm than good, as poor old Bill has invariably been noted for industrious habits, save at such times when the quarterly amount arrived, which event was usually followed by a big drunk until the money was blown in. He owns several prospects in various stages of development in the county. Some of these properties are said to be good and from what we can learn a couple of them are in milling ore. The poor fellow's insanity has taken a religious turn, as at the investigation he requested from the Judge, a place for prayer. Later: Neff was taken to Pueblo yesterday by Sheriff Rogers.

Rocky Mountain News 6-1-1891 Very Crazy John Neil, an old carpenter, 45 years old, was chasing down Sixteenth street about 3 a.m. yesterday yelling like a madman. He was captured by Officer Sanders and said he was a victim of the devil. He said that one told him he was an animal man, and would jump as he looked at his feet, imagining he saw a demon on them. He did not appear to be a drinking man, but was undoubtedly crazy. His mania was the devil and a legion of imps which he says chase him around. He shot himself in the neck a short time ago and has jumped in the river several times to drown himself. He was making for the Platte last night to rid himself of the subjects of his satanic majesty's realm, but was locked up before he reached the river. He was taken to the county hospital yesterday.

6-12-1903 Ouray Plaindealer Arthur Nelson Insane In the county court Tuesday fornoon, Arthur Nelson was adjudged insane by a jury and was taken to Pueblo by VanHouten. He had not been considered as perfectly sane for two years, but was able to transact his business affairs. Of late he has been worrying needlessly over his mining matters and during the past two weeks entertained other hallucinations of an absurd character. He was interested in the Camp Bird Revenue as he owned about 600,000 shares of its stocks.
Nelson, Arthur C.
Ouray Herald 6-12-1903 Temporarily Deranged Arthur Nelson was examined in the county court Tuesday morning as to his sanity and it was deemed advisable to send him to the asylum at Pueblo for treatment. District court being in session, requiring the presence of Sheriff Corbett and Deputy Bugbee, O. C. Van Houten was deputized to take him out and left with him on the train Tuesday morning. Nelson is a miner and is interested in a group of claims in Mt. Sneffels district, which forms part of a group being handled by F. H. Hulaniski of New York. Worry over his property and the backwardness of the season preventing him from beginning work on the property of which he was to be foreman the present season, unbalanced his mind. It is believed proper treatment and the change to a lower altitude will restore him to his normal condition in a short time.

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 enciente 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.

Newcomb, Malcolm Wayne
Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 2-10-1973 - Newcomb Asks for Freedom From Hospital A man charged with murder subsequently found insane and committed to the Colorado State Hospital has the permission of Superintendent Charles Meredith to be released. In Meredith's opinion, he has made such a good recovery that he is presently allowed out to attend college and hold down a job. Malcolm Wayne Newcomb, 23, formerly of 630 E. St. Vrain St. appeared in district court Friday before Judge Hunter D. Hardeman, petitioning to be released. He was one of five men originally charged with the slaying of Michael Humes who was stoned and stabbed to death in Monument Valley Park, Sept. 29, 1969. All of the group admitted using drugs regularly and testimony revealed at the trial they believed the 25-year-old New Yorker, Humes, was a narcotics agent. At no time in his life had the dead man ever worked for law enforcement. One of the five men received life, another turned state's evidence and received a sentence in an out of state institution, two were found mentally incompetent, and Newcomb was declared legally insane. He was committed to the state hospital March 17, 1970. The district attorney's office Friday opposed Newcomb's release and requested a further psychiatric examination. Dr. Meredith's report said the defendant "no longer requires hospitalization, and no longer suffers a mental disturbance that would cause him to be dangerous." At his sanity trial, Newcomb claimed he was born on the planet Venus some 2,000 years ago. Dep. Dist. Atty. Greg Walta asked for an examination at the Colorado Psychiatric Hospital in Denver, but defense counsel Cuba Hollaway contested this saying his client was in college in Pueblo, and that "his schedule would be disrupted." He also added Newcomb was now employed. He was overruled by Judge Hardeman who ordered the examination in Denver.

She is a Swedish girl who has been serving as a domestic. Recently she has been employed in the family of W. C. Lyle, at the corner of West Thirty-second avenue and Meade street. Mrs. Lyle says the woman had been acting strangely for a week or ten days. Last night she chased Mrs. Lyle out of the house with a knife. Later she was found in the kitchen with a can of kerosene, matches and a lighted lamp arranging to set the dwelling on fire, but was restrained by neighbors until Police Officer Engle arrived. She was taken to the police station, wildly raving. Police Surgeon Miller pronounced her insane, but from what cause he could not say. The unfortunate woman would not talk or answer questions sufficiently intelligently to give the authorities any clew as to her home. She said she had a sister in the city, but so many other statements came from her which were known to be untrue that the officers could not depend on them. Officer Engle went to the supposed sister's house about noon to inquire if such a person lived there. The understanding of the department was that if no relatives (could) be found Officer Engle would go before the county court this afternoon and secure the necessary order for her care.

Nicholas, Mrs.
Fort Collins Weekly Courier 6-1-1904 A Family Wrecked by Liquor.The following from the Rocky Ford Enterprise tells a pitiful tale of man's weakness and a woman's suffering all through an inordinate and uncontrolled desire for strong drink. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas were married in Fort Collins in June, 1881, and both had very many friends here. Mrs. Nicholas was an adopted daughter of Dr. E. E. Edwards, the first president of the state agricultural college, and a lady of charming personality. Mr. Nicholas was a law student in the office of Rhodes & Love and was considered a rising young man. But he let liquor get the better of him with the inevitable result. He is now a wanderer on the face of the earth, his wife an inmate of an insane asylum and his children must bear the burden of a father's sins. Pueblo was on Wednesday reminded of its former city attorney, A. M. Nicholas, who was for a time a resident of Rocky Ford, where he was charged with a crime which gave him a short term in the county jail. Mrs. Nicholas was before the county court for examination as to her sanity and was ordered sent to Woodcroft sanitarium. Her malady was due to worry and to insufficient nutrition. Her son not being able to secure steady work to supply his mother's needs, and the daughter being compelled to remain at home on account of the mother's physical and mental condition. The Chieftain says that the last heard of Nicholas was that he had a leg crushed and amputated while working as a day laborer in a mountain saw mill in Oregon. The afflicted mother and the son and daughter have friends in Rocky Ford who deeply sympathize with them in their overwhelming misfortunes.

Nichols, Dale
Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph 6-5-1984 - Man Ruled Insane After Slaying Dies in State Hospital - Dale Nichols died of natural causes Sunday in the Colorado State Hospital, where he had been confined for eight years following his acquittal by reason of insanity in the slaying of the husband of his ex-wife. State hospital officials would not disclose the exact cause of death because of confidentiality laws. Nichols, 49, had petitioned the 4th District Court for his release many times during his confinement, but was turned down because hospital officials said he was not ready to be released. He finally got a hearing in May 1983 after he argued that he was deprived of his constitutional rights because his attorney went against his wishes when he entered the insanity plea in 1976. Following that hearing on May 18, 1983, District Judge Matt Railey ruled that Nichols had not been deprived of his rights. His ruling followed testimony from Nichols' former lawyer, Frank Simons, that the insanity plea seemed the best course to follow. Simons said when he interviewed Nichols about the slaying of William Gibson, Nichols told him he believed his ex-wife and her new husband were committing adultery and that Jesus advised him he had no alternative but to kill the new husband. Railey ruled that under those circumstances, the plea was proper. He said the law allows an insanity plea over a defendant's objections, and he said the evidence "was clear that Mr. Nichols was insane at the time of the commission of the alleged crime." According to police reports, Gibson, 31, came home from church on Dec. 7, 1975, to find Nichols sitting in a chair with a shotgun. Nichols allegedly killed Gibson with one blast from the gun. He was charged with first-degree murder. In his bid for release in 1983, Nichols told the judge he had to get out of the hospital "before I lose my mind." After he was denied release, Nichols continued his efforts on both the federal and state court level but did not have another hearing.

Clise has been declared a forgery, such judgment being yesterday pronounced by District Judge Allen. It was one for $3,000, and an attempt was made to foreclose on twenty-three lots in South Denver given on the face of it in a trust deed to secure it. Clise got the notes from Mrs. Hill's father, Edward T. Nichols, but when an attempt was made to foreclose Mrs. Hill denied any knowledge that she had made the note or in any way consented to it and it was shown in court to be a forgery. Nichols is now in the state insane asylum. Mrs. Hill also testified that several years ago she had transferred to her father twenty-three lots in block 6, retaining for herself twenty-three lots in block 5 which she also owned. The note claimed these lots in block 5 but it was shown that the original figure had been 6 and that it had been altered.

Boulder Daily Camera 1-23-1894 Fred Nichols Dead. Sent from Boulder to the Pueblo Insane Asylum. Coroner Trezise received a letter from an official of the Insane Asylum at Pueblo announcing the death there yesterday of Fred Nichols, the young man who was adjudged insane in the county court on the 9th instant and taken to the asylum by Sheriff Dyer. The young man's mother, Mrs. Martha Nichols, left for Pueblo this afternoon. Young Nichols first excited public interest by setting fire to buildings at Longmont and was confined in jail here for nearly a year. His act was, doubtless, due to the condition of his mind a sort of mental irresponsibility.

Rocky Mountain News 4-5-1896 For Feeble-Minded Legislature to Be Asked to Recognize Officially the New Pueblo Institution The next legislature will be asked to recognize the Colorado Home for Feeble-minded at Pueblo as an institution to which the courts can send patients of that class. Hester Nichols, a twelve-year-old girl, was ordered by the county court to be sent to the Pueblo insane asylum last Wednesday, her affliction being an arrested development of the brain. The unfortunate little girl was without a home, and had been a charge upon the county's charity for some time. Her affliction is of a mild order, and when the order of the court became known some well meaning persons grew quite indignant over the supposition that she was to be thrown into the company of raving maniacs at the Pueblo asylum. Advices from the Pueblo institution show that no such inhuman course is to be pursued there. Patients having a mild order of insanity, or who are classed as mere imbeciles, are never thrown among the raving maniacs, but are kept in separate wards to themselves. But the Nichols case has served to bring to notice another Pueblo institution which seems to deserve popular recognition, and that is the Colorado Home for Feeble-minded. This is a private institution, and is said to be under the management of an able superintendent, and a corps of competent physicians. It is designed for the care and treatment of feeble-minded children and adults. Private apartments are provided for the insane requiring restraint, and separate dining rooms arranged so that the patients can be graded, and those suffering from the milder forms of mental derangement allowed a certain freedom, which has been found to be of great value in the treatment of curable cases. The purpose of the institution is not simply to detain those mentally sick, but to educate and cure as many as possible. In such an institution poor little Hester Nichols would not only receive medical treatment, but she would have the advantages of the educational facilities. There are doubtless many cases similar to hers in this state. On this account the next legislature will be asked to give official recognition to the Pueblo institution for the feeble-minded, in view of the fact that the state has no such institution of its own. With such recognition the institution could then ask the courts, or the courts might be officially instructed, to send to it all feeble-minded patients. The directors of the home are Alva Adams, Mrs. M. D. Thatcher, Mrs. Charles H. Stickney, Aaron Sonneborn and E. P. Newton. However humane may be the intentions of those in charge of the insane asylum they, of course, cannot undertake to carry out a scientific course of treatment for the purpose of building up a feeble brain, or one in which development was interrupted, or in the line of moral training. They can do little more than feed and clothe the unfortunates and preserve them from harm. The purpose of the new home is to do more than this to cultivate and cherish the germs of intelligence and feeling and to bring the unhappy beings to some measure of usefulness to themselves and society.

Rocky Mountain News 2-8-1890 Lunacy in the Family William Henry Nichols was also before the county court to undergo an investigation as to his mental condition. He was accompanied by his mother, an hysterical sort of person, who will be tried on a charge of lunacy herself on Monday next. If no other testimony were forthcoming Nichols' imbecile appearance would almost convict him as a fit subject for a lunatic ward. Miserably clothed, prematurely bald and possessed of a forehead an inch and a half high, he is but a melancholy spectacle to contemplate. His case, however, has its amusing features; he believes that quite a number of high-toned ladies are dying for love of him. They are continually making proposals, all of which he declines because the ladies will not agree to keep his aged mother. William Henry is also a military man, according to the dilapidated story told by him yesterday. He beat the drum for his mother, Queen Victoria, but for reasons unknown never found a title conferred on him. The jury found him insane and not-withstanding the vigorous protest of his mother, he will have to go to Pueblo.

Bruno was the principal character in a vag case tried before Judge Rogers some six weeks ago. At that time he was found guilty and was remanded to jail for a period of thirty days. Bruno has been camping of late in the vicinity of the slaughter house and has subsisted on the bones and bits of meat he could pick up there, and not found by the thousand or more cows that call the slaughter house home. Sheriff Irving became acquainted with the true state of affairs regarding Bruno a few days ago and took him in tow at once. He is of the belief that Bruno is suffering from an aggravated case of lunacy and will have him tried on that charge in the county court in the next few days. Bruno does not show signs of being a full fledged lunactic, he is far from that, but that he is demented has become evident to the county officials. aka Youngnickoll

He wandered around on the North side all last night, until near morning, when he went to the residence of Frank Thompson and tried to set fire to the place. Mrs. Thompson who was alone in the house managed to make her escape from the front door unobserved by the mad man and went to one of the neighbors. Several men of the neighborhood got together and captured Niles. He was taken to Marshall Mayers' residence and was escorted by that officer to the county prison, though he fought very hard. He will be taken before Judge Hines to-morrow for that gentleman to pass judgment on his mental condition.

Salisbury, was appointed his guardian ad litem. Against the latter Snodgrass began attachment proceedings here to satisfy his judgment. Attorney Norris, for the defense, objected to this and moved yesterday to quash the whole proceedings on the ground that the courts of Colorado have no power over the body or property of a person held by another state as a lunatic and the court took the matter under advisement.

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

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: Elizabeth Norton

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
The second floor of the old building contains a miscellaneous assortment of the daft, all women. When the top of the stairs was reached yesterday a good scene for the impressionist was presented. Standing against a door jamb, eyes downcast, was Mrs. Norton, a paranoiac, who contends that Father O'Ryan is bent on securing her enormous wealth, and also claims that the world as a whole is persecuting her
This is a miscellaneous lot, said Dr. Simon. None of them are very troublesome, but a good watch is necessary. You notice each has her peculiarity. We allow them the freedom of the hall and they roam through it all day. We are forced to do this, as the ward is too small to allow them to stretch their limbs within. They flit to and fro often not saying a word to each other for hours. Should they be allowed this liberty? Well, not exactly, but circumstances sometimes alter cases.

Rocky Mountain News 7-18-1897 Pursued By Church People Harmless Mania That Afflicts Mrs. Elizabeth Norton A jury in the county court yesterday morning found that Mrs. Elizabeth Norton, then on trial for her sanity, is not a dangerous person to be at large. The accused was therefore set at liberty. Mrs. Norton has been at the county hospital for over a year, and on the stand yesterday told a long story of how she had been persecuted, hounded and abused by certain prominent church leaders in the city. She believes they are trying to get the insurance money left by her husband in 1884. Owing to this being the only delusion under which she is suffering, Mrs. Norton was declared practically sane.

Nylander, Alexander
Rocky Mountain News 11-29-1890 Hung Himself Alexander Nylander Committed Suicide in the County Jail Alexander Nylander, a Swede, who was confined in the insane ward of the county hospital, committed suicide by hanging himself from his bed post at an early hour yesterday morning. Nylander had only been a patient at the hospital about a month, having come here from Leadville for treatment. Nylander's affliction was a peculiar one. He imagined that his relatives were continually persecuting him and following him about, continually giving him no peace. He imagined that the world was against him. He was not considered as dangerous, but it was necessary to keep him confined in a cell on account of his ravings, and it was in this cell that he ended his miserable existence. The porter makes rounds through the corridors at intervals of about an hour for the purpose of seeing that everything is about as it should be. Following out this custom the porter made his usual rounds about 12 o'clock midnight on Thursday night and found everything quiet and peaceful. Everyone, with the exception of Nylander, was seeking oblivion in sleep. The porter noticed that Nylander was not asleep, and asked him the reason why, to which question Nylander failed to return any reply. The porter did not think anything of this circumstance, as very often the patients, especially the insane, are very sulky and will not talk, so he left the man, thinking he would drop asleep in a few moments if he was not disturbed, and proceeded on his rounds. Nylander, however, did not doze off as expected, on the contrary he kept very wide awake, and began making preparations to commit suicide, and thus free himself from his miserable existence. As soon as the porter was out of sight and hearing he took the bed sheet from the bedstead and tied one end around his throat and the other around the iron bedpost and then sat down and deliberately strangled himself to death. About an hour after he had made the round at midnight the porter returned to make another trip. On passing Nylander's cell he was horrified to see the body of the man tied to the bed post. Hastily inserting the key in the lock of the cell he rushed in and quickly cut the man down, but he was too late as the man had been dead for some moments. The doctors were summoned and worked hard over the body, but without avail. Several patients were sleeping within a few feet of Nylander's cell, but not a particle of noise was heard, and it is supposed he died without making the slightest noise. Nylander had no relatives in the state and the county will bury the remains.
