Quemes, John Eagle County Blade 2-13-1908 – Adjudged Insane.  On Monday last John Quemes was taken before County Judge Tague and a jury, charged with being a person whose mind was in such a distracted state as to render him dangerous.  Three witnesses beside the medical examiner, Dr. Gilpin, were sworn and they all testified that they considered that John in his present condition was a dangerous person.  The jury rendered a verdict to the same effect and the man was committed to the asylum at Pueblo.  John Quemes has been about Red Cliff off and on for the past eight or ten years and has been a quiet hard working man, and while he showed no inclination to become violent, still his mind was in such an erratic state that it was considered that he might become very dangerous.  It developed during the trial that at some time in the past he had been hit upon the head with a base ball bat and that the blow caused a depression of the skull which pressing upon the brain resulted in his present condition.  It is confidently hoped that the asylum physician will be able to perform an operation which will raise the depression and thus restore to the unfortunate man his reason.  He was taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Henry this morning.

Quinn, John Fort Collins Courier 1-14-1922 – Hub Sanders, emergency deputy sheriff, started for Pueblo with John Quinn, Thursday adjudged insane.  Sanders forgot his papers, and hasty arrangements had to be made by the sheriff's office to insure the admittance of Quinn at the Pueblo institution.
Quinn, John Fort Collins Courier 1-12-1922 – Is Adjudged Insane – John Quinn, 23 of 303 North Howes street, son of the late Thomas Quinn, formerly master mechanic at the C & S roundhouse here, Wednesday afternoon was found insane by a lunacy commission. He is being taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Smith Thursday.
Quinn, Robert E. Castle Rock Journal – 10-17-1902 - Sent to the Asylum - Robert E. Green, or Quinn, as he sometimes called himself, was tried for lunacy in the county court Tuesday.  The jury found him insane and he was taken by Sheriff Hoffman to the asylum at Pueblo.  Green, after being under the care of County Physician Alexander for a week, was still unable to tell much of anything about himself.  It is probable, however that after a short time at the asylum he will regain his reason.

Quirk, John Telluride Daily Journal 5-29-1897 – A Terrible Experience – Denver, May 29. – At 3 o'clock this morning John Quirk started for his home on the north side.  To make a short cut he attempted to cross the 14th street viaduct on the iron rods stretched across the river on the incompleted structure.  Quirk tried to walk one of them.  Midway he became frightened and sat down on a rod and cried for help.  None came until daylight this morning when the police rigged up a scafiord (scaffold?) and pulled Quirk away.  He was holding on with such tenacity that force was necessary to pry his arms away.  When taken down he was insane, caused by his four hours experience.
