Jackson, Andrew Carbonate Chronicle 1-17-1916 – Was Pursued By Hypnotist – At Least That's What Andrew Jackson Thot, and Jury Decided He'd Better Be in Lunatic Asylum – His own statements that he believes a hypnotist is after machinery patents he thinks he possesses, that neighbors sneaked into his house when he failed to nail up the windows, that one night he saw the “hypnotist” in the house with a mask over his face, resulted in a jury's determination that Andrew Jackson, of 401 East Second street, is insane, yesterday afternoon. The examination was held in the county court after Jackson, at a preliminary examination Monday last declared he was sane and desired a jury examination. “No, I'm not crazy; I'm a smart man,” Jackson replied to one question by County Attorney Joseph W. Clarke. His replies which followed, however, showed that he is obsessed by the idea that he is constantly pursued. He admitted that he nailed up the doors of his house at nights to keep these “people” out. He believed a family named Casey lived next door and that they numbered ten or a dozen. One of them is a hypnotist, he said, who is determined to steal patents on machinery which Jackson has made. These “people” could not come in when the doors were nailed, he declared, but on nights when the doors were unnailed, they sneaked in and walked around. “One night I looked in the bedroom and saw a man lying there,” the insane man said, making a motion across his eyes. “He had his face covered.” Other witnesses testified that Jackson believed one of his six children is not his. “I don't know whose girl Lilly is,” he stated. “I think some one of them is not mine.” Later he said, “It doesn't make any difference, I was good to her.” He did not remember telling a doctor that some man was shooting at him. Mrs Philip Moog, of 311 East Third street, and Mrs. Archie Wall, who testified Monday were called again. The former repeated how Jackson struck her with a dinner place one day when she called at the house. On several occasions Mrs. Jackson and the children were forced to flee to Mrs. Wall's for the night when he became violent. Dr. R. J. McDonald, who believed the patient is insane, had treated Jackson several times after his spine was injured in an accident at the Yak tunnel and before he was sent to the state insane asylum at a previous time. Jackson was discharged from the asylum January 26, 1914. The paralysis of the patient's legs, which forces him to drag his feet by means of crutches, caused ulcers on his feet, the doctor said. Once when he treated these Jackson thot they were caused by other people. The paralysis is similar to locomotor ataxia so far as it affects his feet, he stated. Dr. H. A. Calkins, who was called as a witness by Jackson, gave his opinion that Jackson is mentally deranged. Mrs. Andrew Hill, who lives two doors from the Jacksons, housed Mrs. Jackson one night after she had been run out of her home in terror, Mrs. Hill said. Jackson had told her once that a man had hypnotized him, or “took his mind away.” Andrew Hill saw Mrs. Jackson jump thru a window of her home at 9:30 one night, tho he could not say what drove her to this peculiar act. Jackson had been taken in charge by the sheriff for safekeeping three times in a few months, the witness said. “I think something should be done with him,” he declared. Ed Rossi, who formerly lived near Jackson, never saw anything strange in his actions. Mrs. Annie Rossi had seen Jackson pull his wife's hair and strike her down, and on several occasions he had struck the children with his crutches or anything he could wield. She has also seen him come from the house alone, laughing strangely. John Clements, of 403 East Second street, never observed anything wrong in Jackson's actions, tho he heard him nailing up the doors every night. When Attorney R. D. McLeod, attorney ad litem for Jackson, called on Mrs. Clements, Andrew Hill started a laugh by jumping up and saying, “You'll have to excuse her, fellows. She hasn't been in this county a very long time. She can't speak very good. You've got enough witnesses without her. I think something ought to be done to keep this fellow in a safe place. It's up to you what to do, but you've heard what these witnesses have said.” The jury reached a finding within a few minutes. The jurymen were Bradley T. Willson, Porter Wilson, Al. Ganz, Peter Johnson, Matt McDonald and George A. Marsh. Jackson was born in Finland thirty-five years ago. He is the father of six children, the oldest of whom is 11. He married in Leadville on October 14, 1900. Since he was injured nine years ago, his wife has been forced to earn a livelihood by taking in washing and doing other work. The patient will be taken to the Woodcroft sanatorium at Pueblo, the state asylum, which Jackson evidently loathes, being filled to capacity. At several times during both examinations, Jackson declared he did not like the state asylum and would not go back there.

Jackson, B.F. Carbonate Chronicle 4-14-1913 – Mines and Mining – Mining News of the Week from the Greatest Mining Camp on Earth – From the Herald Democrat and Evening Chronicle – … Other bills brought up were also filed for future discussion before settlement. One bill, which Commissioner Schmidt referred to as “a bluff,” came from the state insane asylum, at Pueblo, asking for several hundred dollars to pay the expenses incurred through B. F. Jackson, deceased, a lunatic who was sent to the asylum from here several years ago. On County Attorney Clarke's statement that such wards become charges of the state as soon as they are transferred to state institutions, the board tabled the bill, and it will probably not be brought up again…

Jackson, Freeman Carbonate Chronicle 5-27-1912 – Freeman Jackson, who was confined in the county jail last week and later taken to a hospital on account of his irrational conduct, was tried yesterday in the county court for insanity. The jury returned a verdict finding him insane. A number of witnesses were examined by County Attorney Bouck and by Attorney Pendery, for the defendant. Among these were two friends, William Vice and Sam Haskell; Undersheriff Harlan and County Physician Jeannotte, who attended Jackson during his illness. Both of the friends said that he had been acting as though his mind was distracted for the past week and had on a number of occasions made threats of violence against them. Haskell stated that Jackson had taken a dislike to him because he insisted on his not going out of the house. When asked if he knew of anything such as an accident or an inherited tendency for insanity in Jackson's recond, he replied that some years ago the demented man had been struck on the head with a pistol while he was engaged in a fight. Other persons who remember the affair say that it was a piece of scantling with which the man was struck. From that time he never seemed to be right, according to the testimony taken yesterday. Undersheriff Harlan told of Jackson's actions while he was in jail, saying that at times he seemed to be rational and then would begin to make threats of violence against the officers. Dr. Jeannotte in his testimony strongly advised that the man be sent to a hospital for the insane where he could be properly cared for and perhaps cured of his mental derangement. The doctor declined to answer the question of Attorney Pendery to show whether insanity was prevalent in the Jackson family. “Some things as those are between the patient and me,” said Dr. Jeannotte. The jury was out ten minutes and then brought in a verdict that Jackson “is insane or distracted and dangerous to his own person and to the persons and property of others.” Judge Harrison gave judgment to the effect that Jackson be confined in the asylum at Pueblo until he is in the discretion of the authorities there considered a safe man to be at large. Jackson yesterday answered the questions of Attorney Bouck with intelligence and was able to tell his age, where he was born, his occupation. But he could scarcely talk as he said that his stomach was in a bad condition. “I didn't give my stomach a square deal,” said Jackson in low muttering tones. “I drank too much.” All the time that Mr. Bouck was questioning him, Jackson kept pleading in feeble tones, “Won't you please ask the judge to let me go home.” The unfortunate man was taken to Pueblo last night by Sheriff Schraeder. The jurors were: W. G. Parker (foreman), M. W. Hollister, J. W. Poulson, Frank E. Williams, Jake Murray and George E. Collar.
Jackson, Freeman Carbonate Chronicle 12-28-1914 – From Monday's Daily – Death of Freeman Jackson – Freeman Jackson, for twenty years a miner in the Leadville district, died at Pueblo early yesterday morning, it was announced in a telegram received by his wife, who lives at 109 North Toledo avenue. He was 39 years old. Jackson died at the Pueblo sanatorium where he had been under medical care for two and (a) half years, following a mental derangement at the beginning of that time which resulted from cranial injuries. He was born at Prince Edward's Island 39 years ago, and came to Leadville while he was a youth. He had been a miner and leaser in the district for twenty years, and was widely known here. For a number of years he had been a member of the Miners' union, Cloud City local No. 33, and the Fraternal Union. Surviving him here are his wife, one son and one daughter. His mother, one brother and four sisters, live at Prince Edward's Island. Mrs. Jackson telegraphed to Pueblo last night regarding arrangements for the funeral services, which will be announced later.

Lewis officiating, assisted by the church choir which sang the two sacred selections of the services, “Face to Face” and “I Am Going Home.”

Jacobs, John D. Telluride Daily Journal 4-24-1915 – Mexican Declared Insane – A jury in the County Court Wednesday afternoon after a careful examination pronounced a Mexican by the name of John D. Jacobs of unsound mind and ordered him sent to the asylum.  He will go, however, as a patient from San Miguel county, it being thus understood by the officials of the two counties, in view of the fact that Jacobs and his family were formerly charges of San Miguel county and had been sent down here from San Miguel county with the thought that the lower altitude might benefit Jacob's health. – Montrose Enterprise.
Jacobs, John D. Telluride Daily Journal 4-28-1915 – Merry Time – Sheriff Gill, who returned a couple of days ago from Pueblo where he took the insane Mexican, John Jacobs, pleads to be relieved of any more such tasks as handling a crazy Mexican.  He said that Jacobs led him a merry chase from the time they left Montrose until they reached Pueblo.  He started out by humoring the man and the more he was humored the more he wanted to be humored until he had his own way on the train.  “By the time we got to our destination,” says Mr. Gill, “Jacobs was the sheriff and I was the prisoner.  So embued was Jacobs with the idea that he insisted on putting me to bed, giving me my medicine and bathing my head and feet.  Every once in a while he would feel my pulse to see how his “patient” was getting along.  A deputy U. S. marshal on the train relieved me for a couple of hours but soon got his fill of the job and called me back.  Toward the end of the journey Jacobs got two men on the train cornered and with his Bible in his hand he proceeded to expound to them the Scriptures.  They fell in with the proposition and in so doing relieved Mr. Gill of considerable nervousness, as he forgot about everything else while he was interested in religion. – Montrose Enterprise.

Jacobs, John D. Mrs. Telluride Daily Journal 5-29-1915 – Patient Died in Pueblo. County officials here have received information to the effect that John Jacobs, a San Miguel county charge in the Woodcroft hospital for the insane in Pueblo, died in that institution on Wednesday night of this week.  Jacobs who was a county charge here was sent to Montrose county and maintained there by San Miguel county for the benefit the lower altitude might do him.  Some few months ago charges of insanity were preferred against him and he was sent to Pueblo.  Another sad feature of the case is that but a few weeks after he was sent to Pueblo his wife was adjudged insane and sent to the institution.

Jensen, Chris Elbert County Banner 9-13-1907 – Chased By Little Red Devils – Insane Man Who Has Been Wandering for Years Recaptured – Denver. – Chris Jensen, who three years ago made a sensational escape from the insane hospital at Pueblo, where he was committed, charged with the murder July 10, 1901 of Mrs. Amenia Bullis, who owned a little ranch on Mrytle hill, was arrested recently near police headquarters by Detectives Connor and White.  Examinations during the preparations for a trial found Jensen to be insane and he was sent to the Pueblo hospital as a dangerous maniac.  Of a peculiar cunning, he one day wormed his way out of confinement and made his escape so successfully that weeks of searching proved useless.  Where he has been since his escape is a mystery.  He showed up at police headquarters, and, hungry and tired, asked for lodging.  He was given temporary shelter in one of the cells of the city jail.  The watchman was attracted by hallucinations of Jensen and listening to them concluded that the man was mentally unsound.  Jensen was taken into the office of the police surgeon, where it was found that his mind was unbalanced, and he was ordered returned to his cell in the jail.  As he sat in a chair in the surgeon's office he moaned that he didn't want to go out because he was afraid that he would kill someone.  Then he said that he had been pursued by thousands of little red devils.  “They don't come into the jail,” he added.  Jenson was released the following morning apparently in his right mind.  But late yesterday afternoon he rushed into police headquarters shouting that he was being pursued and asked for assistance.  “They can't chase me into the jail,” he said.  “I want to go in there.”  He was sent away, but Capt. Frank Lee later remembered the man as Chris Jensen and Detectives Connor and White were sent in pursuit.  They captured him at Fourteenth and Larimer street.

Jochim, Annie Telluride Daily Journal 6-19-1908 – Crazy Woman Would Kill the Governor – Denver, June 19. – Through the coolness of Assistant Secretary James E. Dougherty, of the State Humane society, Governor Buchtel escaped probable injury yesterday afternoon at the hands of Mrs. Annie Jochim, an insane woman.  Laboring under a delusion that the Governor had possession of $40,000 she imagines was left her by W. S. Stratton and is forcing her to marry, the woman visited the executive offices with the intention of shooting the Governor.  The woman had a revolver concealed under a jacket she carried on her arm.  Unable to gain admission to the executive chamber the woman went to the Humane society and threatened to “fix” the Governor.  Mr. Dougherty persuaded the woman to accompany him to the court house and she was later taken to the county hospital.

Johnson, Albert Obituary
Johnson, Albert Durango Democrat 7-13-1900 – Silverton Miner in Unfortunate Condition – Silverton, Colo., July 12 – (Special) – Sheriff Casad returned late last night with Albert Johnson, who was found violently insane near a place called the Hay Meadows, on the Rio Grande river, about 28 miles from Silverton.  Johnson is a miner by occupation, having worked on the Gold King mine at Gladstone since last August.  Last Saturday he left Silverton on foot to go to Creede, going across the range over Stony Pass.  His mission to Creede was for the purpose of trying to make a settlement with the receivers of the defunct Bank of Creede, in which he had some $500 deposited before its failure.  On his way over the range, from what he says, he was overtaken by three men and that one of the men took five shots at him, while the others maltreated him for several hours, causing him to lose his mind, and in wandering he came to the hay ranch.  He was taken in hand at the ranch and word sent here Monday for an officer.  His story seems somewhat plausible as to the three men, one of whom must have been the man who broke out of the county jail last Saturday night, and the two others who aided him to escape, as it is reported that three men passed the hay ranch Sunday evening headed down the Rio Grande river.  From persons who knew Johnson well, they say he is a sober and industrious man, and that he has quite a sum of money deposited in the banks at Denver, and that Saturday when he left for Creede he had money on his person.  But when found no money could be found on him, and it may be that the three parties who overtook him relieved him of the same.  His case is considered critical by the attending physician.

Johnson, Frank Routt County Sentinel 11-9-1917 – Local News – Frank Johnson, who last year occupied one of the Shore cabins on Lincoln avenue next west of Soda creek, is awaiting a hearing at Golden as to his mental condition, he having recently drawn a gun on a Golden man whom he heard whistling. While in Steamboat Johnson had violent scenes with several local citizens who offended him by whistling, he apparently having an insane prejudice against that form of music.
Johnson, Frank Colorado Transcript 11-15-1917 – Had Record in Steamboat – Anti-Whistling Fanatic also in Trouble in Routt County (Steamboat Pilot) – On his recent trip to Golden, where he went to remove to Canon City Mrs. May Ray, who killed her husband two years ago at Oak Creek, Sheriff E. E. Clark was shown through the county jail by the sheriff of Jefferson county, Albert E. Jones. The first prisoner he saw was Frank Johnson, formerly a resident of Steamboat Springs and was employed on the sewer construction by James Collier. Johnson was taken into custody by the Golden authorities following a gun play in which he threatened a citizen of that town to death, the latter's offense being that he whistled. During the time that Johnson was here he had several altercations with men and boys about town, the trouble being started in every instance over whistling. He evidently suffered from some peculiar hallucination, being obsessed with a horror of shrill noises. On one occasion he bolted headlong and half shaved from a barber chair in the Lockhart shop when a selection containing a piccolo part was played on the phonograph. Several times he started quarrels with the persons waiting at the depot, cursing them for trying, as he insisted, to hoodoo him by whistling. On one occasion he threatened to shoot Byron Burgman and C. D. (“Bud”) Myers because they piped a few strains within his hearing, and he did draw a gun on one of the men employed with him on the sewer, for the same reason. He was not considered dangerous while here, although it is believed that he shot and killed a valuable mare belonging to McClelland Bros. in retaliation for having lost a donkey, which he insisted they had done away with. It could not be proven that he did the act, although the owners of the animal were certain he killed it. He left here last spring and had not been heard of since until Sheriff Clark met him in the Golden jail. He will be given a hearing before a lunacy commission and undoubtedly will be committed to the asylum for safe keeping, as during his last encounter on account of his peculiar malady he only escaped being killed from the fact that the man he threatened was unarmed. During his time here he kept a big dog constantly on guard at the door of his shack on Soda creek, and the dog would attack anyone that ventured near. Johnson made inquiries of Sheriff Clark regarding the animal, requesting that he be looked up and cared for.
Johnson, Frank Colorado Transcript 11-29-1917 – Frank Johnson, the “whistling fanatic,” who has been held by Sheriff Jones for trial in district court, is to be tried in the county court on lunacy proceedings. Johnson was arrested some months ago for threatening to shoot a fellow workman in the Ryan camp for whistling. Johnson has an antipathy for people who whistle, and always wants to kill them. He gives other signs of being mentally unbalanced.

Johnson, John W. 14 Dec 1899 New Castle Nonpareil, J.W. Johnson of Glenwood Springs was declared insane Monday afternoon and will be taken to the asylum. Johnson is afflicted with softening of the brain and is not expected to live long.
Johnson, John W. Glenwood Post 12-15-1899 – Reason Dethroned – John W. Johnson Declared Insane and Taken to Pueblo – The inquiry into the sanity of John W. Johnson presented a sad and pitiable scene the like of which one does not often witness. A few weeks ago the relatives and friends observed evidences of the giving away of Mr. Johnson's mind. The mania became more and more pronounced until last Saturday, less than two weeks after the first evidences of dementia had made their appearance it was considered unwise to permit the unfortunate man longer to remain at large and he was confined in the county jail. An investigation was held in the county court last Monday at which time a jury very promptly pronounced Mr. Johnson insane and he was ordered taken to the insane asylum at Pueblo. The sight of a strong man who but a few days ago enjoyed his mental faculties now bereft of reason and completely undone was particularly lamentable and many were moved to tears during the progress of the hearing.

Jones, Dave Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 6-2-1896 – The case of Dave Jones, who is said to be at times of unsound mind was brought up before the board. After some discussion it was decided to endeavor to have him cared for at the county hospital and if that could not be done, then to have him sent to the state insane asylum at Pueblo.
Jones, Dave Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 3-1-1895 – Blood in Her Eye. Mrs. Dave Jones Goes Gunning for Her Daughter's Last Fellow. About 7:30 o'clock last evening, a number of persons in the vicinity of Fourth and Poplar streets were attracted by the sound of a pistol shot and the vision of a wild-eyed woman standing upon the corner, with a smoking revolver in her hand, warning the inquisitive ones, who valued their personal safety, to make themselves scarce. One man however, who possessed more courage than all the others put together, ran forward and grasped the infuriated female, but experienced some difficulty in disarming her. The police were summoned by telephone, and Captain Moore, upon promptly presenting himself, found that the woman was Mrs. David Jones, wife of ex-commissioner Jones, who is at present in the Pueblo insane asylum. Something else the captain found, not very creditable to the woman, was that she had a super-abundancy of corn juice on board, which had undoubtedly induced her to launch upon her gunning expedition. Captain Moore began an investigation of the premises where the shot was fired, and found that the woman had pushed the revolver through a front window of Frank Cole's residence, and had then pulled the trigger. The bullet, after passing through the window curtain, lodged in the wall beyond. Fortunately for Mrs. Jones no one was in the house at the time, or Coroner Nelson might have been called upon to hold an inquest. She was conducted to jail by Captain Moore, and stated that it had been her intention to kill Cole and that she “would get him yet.” She accused him of having influenced her daughter to leave home two weeks ago, and that “Maud had lied to her about it.” The hearing is set for this afternoon.

Jones, Hannah Eagle County Blade 1-8-1903 – Mrs. Jones Insane – For some time Mrs. Hannah Jones, of Bell's Camp, widow of the late John Jones, has been manifesting marked signs of derangement, and last week complaint was lodged against her in the County court charging insanity.  On Wednesday she was arrested by Sheriff Farnum and on Friday tried before the County court.  W. A. Maxfield, Mrs. W. A. Maxfield, George Sidnnor, Frank Gretmaker and Dr. Coffman were the witnesses, and from their statements there was no doubt of the mental condition of the accused.  A jury composed of George Johns, J. W. Phillips, C. A. Scott, G. H. DaLee, F. H. Robinson and J. A. McDougal brought in a verdict of guilty.  On Saturday Sheriff Farnum with Mrs. W. A. Maxfield as attendant conveyed the unfortunate woman to the asylum at Pueblo.  Before reaching that city the patient became quite violent and was possessed of the hallucination that every one on the train was plotting to take her life.
Jones, Hannah Eagle County Blade 5-28-1908 - Mrs. Hannah Jones died at the state insane asylum at Pueblo on May 26.  For many years Mrs. Jones resided at Bell's Camp, near Red Cliff, where her husband died a number of years ago of miner's consumption.  Several years ago Mrs. Jones lost her mind and was committed to the asylum from this county. Nothing is known of her relatives.

Jones, Norman C. Cripple Creek Morning Times 9-14-1897 – Carr's Muscle – He Will Not Fight a Duel, But Will Defend Himself – Denver, Sept. 13. – Norman C. Jones, once of Louisiana, and now of El Paso county, may find himself incarcerated in the insane asylum at Pueblo if he persists in (the) threatening attitude he has assumed towards the judiciary and state officers in Arapahoe county, as Norman C. Jones could easily be declared non compos mentis by any jury.  Some time ago he addressed a communication of forty-seven typewritten pages to Governor Adams, rehearsing the wrongs which had been inflicted upon him by the judiciary officers.  Gov. Adams referred the matter to the attorney general, who returned them to the governor with the intimation that Jones was crazy or a crank.  This aroused the ire of Mr. Jones and he immediately challenged General Carr to a duel, and threatens to horsewhip him on sight.  In conversation this afternoon General Carr said he could not accept the challenge, as it was against the law, but if Mr. Jones attempted to horsewhip him he would not be allowed to accomplish it, as he would defend himself.

Jordan, E.J. Routt County Sentinel 9-11-1914 – Becomes Suddenly Insane – E. J. Jordan, a traveling man from Denver who arrived in Steamboat late last week, was soon after seized with an attack of dementia, from which he is said to have occasionally suffered before. His condition was not considered serious and for several days he was allowed to run at large, and at Sunday evening's service at the Congregational church he created some excitement by his behavior. Monday he was taken to the Steamboat hospital for treatment. The authorities communicated with his wife, who resides in Denver, and at her request Dr. H. C. Dodge took the patient to his home next day.

Jorgenson, Bertha Summit County Journal and Breckenridge Bulletin 3-9-1912 – Insane.  On Wednesday Mrs. Bertha Jorgenson, aged 38 years, was tried as an insane person in the County Court before Judge D. W. Fall and a jury.  F. C. Cramer was appointed guardian ad litem for the defendant.  It was proven to the jury and the Court that the woman was so distracted in her mind as to be unsafe to the permitted to remain unconfined and the Court ordered that she be taken by the sheriff to Pueblo, there to be confined in the state insane asylum.  Mrs. Sadie Waters was appointed by the Court to be the female attendant to attend her on the way to Pueblo.  Friday the Court granted a temporary stay of order, to see if her condition will improve.  Some years ago, while the woman was unmarried, and known as Bertha Barth, she was committed to the asylum, from which after some months she was discharged as cured.

Joyce, Edward Greeley Tribune 9-22-1898 – County Commissioners – Met in Regular September Session and Adjourned to Oct. 3.  Business of Session Purely Routine - The following claims against the county were audited and warrants ordered drawn on the county treasurer for their payment:  Hubert Work, care of Edw'd Joyce, (Insane) ……….$31.00.
Joyce, Edward "Ted" Greeley Tribune 6-9-1898 – Saturday afternoon, Ted Joyce the newsboy, got on a rampage and used language that would have shamed a denizen of Market street. Sunday morning under provocation he attacked a boy near the postoffice beating him severely; and chased another youngster with an open knife, threatening to cut his heart out. Marshal Camp arrested him and locked him up. Monday morning he was taken before Magistrate Willard and given twenty days in jail. For years, Ted has been the butt of every fool, man and boy, in Weld county. They have delighted in calling him across streets and up stair ways pretending to want a paper and all for the pleasure of displaying their cheap wit. This treatment has resulted in aggravating Ted until today he is a dangerous person to be at large and liable, while in a passion to do some one serious injury. What to do with him is a problem that is puzzling the marshal and magistrate.
Joyce, Edward "Ted" Greeley Tribune 6-30-1898 – Sent to Pueblo Asylum – Poor “Ted” Joyce Adjudged to be of Unsound Mind – Everyone in Weld county knows or has heard of “Ted” Joyce. For years he has been a familiar figure on the streets of Greeley as newsboy or “bellman,” announcing an “Auction! Auction!” or drawing citizens' attention to some public or social gathering. For years he has been an oddity, and being looked upon as harmless, he was made the butt of every boy and some men in the city. He took their banterings and jokes good naturedly, but as he grew older it became noticeable that his temper was changing. Instead of submitting to pranks as in the olden time he would fly into paroxysms of animal rage, using the foulest language and even threatening his tormentors with bodily injury. Within the past six months he grew morose and pettish, making his presence at home unbearable. About two months ago he was arrested for assaulting a boy with a knife and was sent to jail for twenty days. Since his release he became more demonstrative until his sister Mary, driven to extremes, sought the advice of several of the best citizens in Greeley as to the proper course to pursue. Besides she was becoming alarmed for her safety. She was advised to have him arrested and given a fair, impartial trial, so as to settle the question of his insanity, they signing the complaint. He was arrested, and Tuesday afternoon was tried in the County court before Judge Smith and a jury of six reputable citizens. He was adjudged to be of unsound mind and not a safe person to be at large. Judge Smith was loath to send him to Pueblo, thinking it possible to have him retained at a home for feeble minded persons. But this proved impracticable, as the state does not control such an institution and the expense of a private home was too great to impose on the poor fellow's relatives or on the county, so the judge sentenced him to the asylum at Pueblo. He also appointed C. D. Todd as conservator of the demented man's estate. It is hoped that a brief residence in the asylum, away from the noise and bustle of business and the jibes of thoughtless boys and fool men, may tend to restore the equilibrium of his mind.
Joyce, Edward "Ted" Greeley Tribune 8-11-1898 – Session of County Commissioners – Warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the following claims against the county: Hubert Work, care of Edward Joyce, July, 1898 - $31.00.

Joyce, Michael Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 1-30-1892 – Refused to Go. Michael Joyce Would Rather Sleep Than go to Pueblo. Saturday morning about 5:30 o'clock when Jailer O'Keefe went in to awaken Michael Joyce, who was to be taken to Pueblo, he refused to get out of bed, saying he was satisfied where he was, Joyce persisted in refusing to get up and was finally forced into the corridor of the jail, and there refused to don his clothes, remarking that if he went to Pueblo he would go in his night clothes. He was then asked to go into the office, but would not move an inch and when force was used he caught hold of one of the iron bars of the cage and it took the efforts of three strong men to break his hold. Upon getting him into the jail office his clothes were put upon him by force and after being handcuffed he became peaceable and was quietly taken to the depot and started for his future home at Pueblo. Joyce is the miner who was sent to the asylum for the insane last June, but a few months later made his escape and returned to this city. Not long ago he appeared to be ill, and through the interposition of his friends he was admitted to the Sister's hospital. He had been there but a short time, however, when he displayed unmistakable symptoms of insanity and the officers were notified, when it was learned that he was the same man who had spent several months in the asylum. Sheriff Kennedy started twice before with Joyce for Pueblo, but the first time was over a block from the depot when the train pulled out and on the second occasion the train was several hours late and the trip was deferred.
Joyce, Michael 27 June 1891 Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) STATE NEWS Michael Joyce, an old Leadville citizen, was on Sunday last adjudged insane by a jury of six citizens. He has been taken to the asylum at Pueblo.

Jungberg, John Breckenridge Bulletin 5-26-1900 – Found Insane – On last Monday Mr. Gus Wallin of Kokomo came to Breckenridge with John Jungberg, who was thought to be suffering from a recent fall down a stairway, as his actions were those of a man suffering from mental aberration.  Jungberg was placed in the county hospital, but did not remain long, as sometime in the evening, presumably after he had retired, and wandered around till about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.  At that hour he went to the residence of Mr. J. H. Ryan, whom he aroused, and who knowing his condition brought him to town and gave him in charge of Sheriff Detwiler, who placed him in the county jail, and on Thursday he was tried before a jury in the County court for lunacy and found insane.  He will probably be taken to Pueblo to-day.  Mr. Jungberg is a native of Sweden and about 60 years of age.  He has lived in Summit county for about ten years past and is well known to the mining fraternity around Kokomo and Frisco.  He has a wife and two children in Sweden and one son who lives at Saratoga, Colorado.

Juntilla, William Telluride Daily Journal 11-18-1909 – Inquest of Lunacy Held Before Judge Brown – Last evening, before Judge Brown, was held an inquest of lunacy to determine the mental condition of William Junitila, against whom a complaint had been made. Juntilla is a native of Findland and came to Telluride about nine years ago, during that time he has worked in most of the mines of the camp and had always been a good workman and saved his money which he invested in Black Bear and Calumet-Telluride stock. About a year ago it was noticed that he became unsteady in his work and if sent to do something would probably work half a shift and then quit and go down the hill and when asked the reason for this he complained that he was being persecuted all the time so that he could not work, eat or sleep. Then he sold his mining shares and spent all his money in drinking and gambling and has lately been living as best he could. Yesterday morning Dr. M. T. Rothwell, county examiner of lunacy, with Charles Carlson as interpreter, made an examination and found that the man was suffering with dementia of the brain. His testimony to the jury also was corroborated by several witnesses. The man, though now harmless might at any time, while suffering from this delusion of persecution, become dangerous to the lives and property of the people around him. The jury was composed of Messrs. E. J. Carter, J. H. Adams, A. J. Goegline, E. H. Kracaw, E. D. McKown and Harry Miller, and the verdict rendered by them was to the effect that the man was mentally incapable of properly caring for himself and his property and that he was dangerous to the lives and property of others. The man will be taken to the institution which the state provides for such people and where, with proper care and treatment he will likely recover from his disarrangement.
