Kaporc, Joseph 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.
Kaporc, Joseph 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.
Kaporc, Joseph Carbonate Chronicle 2-24-1919 – The funeral of the late Joseph Koporic, who died at Pueblo Wednesday and whose remains were brot here last night on Rio Grande train No. 1, will take place Sunday at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph's church. The cortege will leave the family home on Brooklyn Heights at 9:30 o'clock.
Kaporc, Joseph 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.
Kaporc, Joseph 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.

Keating, Billy 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.”

Kelce, Fred 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.

Kelley, William H. 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 proved—almost 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.
Kelley, William H. Fort Collins Courier 3-4-1908 – W. H. Kelley died at the Jacksonville, Illinois, insane asylum, December 20th.

Kelly, Jim Eagle County Blade 11-25-1909 – Adjudged Insane – Jim Kelly was arraigned in the County court last Tuesday to be tried for insanity.  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.

Kelly, John Eagle County Blade 4-16-1908 – Local Paragraphs – John Kelly, who was convicted of lunacy in the County court at Red Cliff a few months ago, was released as cured after a short stay in the asylum. He is now with relatives in Iowa, in sound mind and health, apparently as well as ever.
Kelly, John W. 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.

Kennedy, J.I. Boulder Daily Camera 4-16-1896 – Act of a Madman – A Gulf R. R. Clerk Shoots His Wife and Son at Denver – Denver, April 16. – At 6 o'clock this morning J. I. Kennedy, a clerk in the auditors office of the Gulf road, shot his wife and young son and then attempted suicide. Mrs. Kennedy was struck in the temple and the son in the mouth. It is thought they will recover. Kennedy who was insane, attempted to cut his throat with a pen knife but was prevented by his wife and neighbors. At jail today he cut an artery in his arm with a little penknife he had concealed and narrowly escaped bleeding to death.

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.

Kennedy, James 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.

Kenyon, W.N. Aspen Weekly Times 4-3-1886 – An Imaginary President – W. N. Kenyon, the man who escaped from the Pueblo insane asylum some days since, was arrested here this afternoon and taken to the hospital. 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.

Kerns, Mrs. Frank Fort Collins Weekly Courier 12-17-1917 – Woman Ordered Taken to Insane Asylum – Judge Bouton today ordered that Mrs. Frank Kerns be taken to Pueblo for treatment.  She has been insane for some little time.  Recently, Mrs. Kerns was brought here from Kansas City by a sister, because of her mental condition.  Frank Kerns has not been here for some time and is now in Arizona.  Two sons are in the army.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. Boulder Daily Camera 12-27-1893 – Uncle Dave Kerr has returned from Missouri and with his son, Tom, came over from Louisville today.  Mrs. Kerr is still at the asylum at St. Louis and a hopeless case.  Uncle Dave looks hale and hearty and would be happy were it not for the great cloud that came over his household when his wife became insane.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. Boulder Daily Camera 1-2-1894 – Thomas  Kerr came over from Louisville today, accompanied by Mr. McGuire, a prominent Denver attorney.   Mr. Kerr, through his attorney Hon. R. H. Witely seeks to be formally relieved of his conservatorship in the estate of his mother who is insane.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. Boulder Daily Camera 1-26-1894 – James S. McGuire, the Denver attorney, is in town on business connected with the Kerr estate, of which Tom Kerr is a conservator for his insane mother.  Thomas Kerr and wife are, also, over from Louisville.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. 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.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. 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.
Kerr, Dave Mrs. Boulder Daily Camera 2-8-1894 – The estate of Mrs. Kerr, insane, is being finally settled at a meeting of the office of Hon. R. H. Whitley today. Ex-conservator Kerr demands final release and settlement of his account and the members of the family and attorneys have put their heads together in the hope of an amicable settlement.  Hon. 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, George E. Colorado Transcript 2-01-1899 The Asylum Scandel: The recent investigation (?) of the administration of Dr. P.R. Thombs, superintendent of the insane asylum at Pueblo, brought out the fact that George E. 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.
Kerr, George E. Colorado Transcript 2-22-1899 – Alex Kerr has received a letter from an undertaking firm in Pueblo stating that his brother George was burried by them, they having been notified by the asylum authorities that deceased had no friends.  A proposal to take up the remains, embalm and ship here for a reasonable price also accompanies the letter, which makes it look as though the asylum management had some sort of a “stand in with the undertakers.”

Kilpatrick, Tom 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.

Kimler, Dave 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.
Kimler, David 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.

King, Emmett 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.

King, Rod S. 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.

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.

Kinnear, Carrie Castle Rock Journal 9-30-1898 – Miss Carrie Kinnear Insane – The saddest case that has been before Judge Triplett's court for a long time occurred last Saturday, when Miss Carrie Kinnear oldest daughter of John Kinnear of Perry Park, was examined as to her sanity and ordered committed to an insane asylum.  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.

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.

Kline, David 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.

Krasting, William 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.

Krewson, Ben 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.
Krewson, V.B. Steamboat Pilot 7-1-1908 – Adjudged Insane – V. B.

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.

Krugh, John 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.
