| Reaugh. E. Mrs. | Carbonate Chronicle 3-18-1889 Sad Case The case of Mrs. E. Reaugh, who was, on Thursday, adjudged insane by a jury of six, in the county court, is a very sad one. The form of the malady is what is known as melancholia, and seldom becomes dangerous. Some time ago the heel of her left foot was frostbitten, and proper attention was not paid to it, and several leading physicians say that the limb will have to be amputated. She is the mother of three young children, the youngest being only 20 months of age, and so far has been unable even to lisp, far less indulge in baby talk. It has a fixed, settled look in its eyes, and some suppose it is afflicted with the same disease as its unfortunate mother. Mrs. Reaugh will be taken to the insane asylum Thursday evening, where it is hoped that the treatment she will receive will prove beneficial to her health, and that her reason will be restored. No doubt the surgeons of the asylum will perform the operation of amputation if they find they cannot save the limb. |
| Reaves, B. | Telluride Journal 6-15-1911 To The Asylum Sheriff Tallman departed this morning for Pueblo with B. Reaves, who was yesterday adjudged insane, and who will be placed in the state asylum for the insane. |
| Reaves, Louis | Daily Journal April 6, 1909 Two Insane Persons Sentenced To Pueblo. Sheriff Tallman accompanied by Chief of Police Howell left this morning for Pueblo with Louis Reaves and B. C. Jenkins who have been adjudged insane in the county court and committed to the state insane asylum. Young Reaves had his hearing Saturday. Mr. Jenkins who has been in charge of the American Carpet Company's store the last few months became quite violent Saturday night and had to be placed in the city jail for safe keeping. He was under the delusion that some one was trying to blow him up with dynamite and was forging his name to checks which he had drawn himself. Jenkins had his hearing yesterday afternoon and being originally from Georgia. Judge Brown made a citation on the commitment papers allowing his relatives the privilege of later taking him to his home state should they so desire. Mrs. Jenkins accompanied her husband to Pueblo this morning. For the time being he will be confined in a private institution in the hope that he may eventually be cured. |
| Reaves, Louis | Telluride Daily Journal 4-12-1909 Sheriff Tallman and Chief of Police Howell returned Saturday night from Pueblo where they accompanied Mr. Jenkins and young Reaves to the insane asylum. |

| Reed, A. | Castle Rock Journal 5-12-1905 Mr. A. Reed who went insane about two weeks ago and was placed in a hospital in Denver, is gradually getting worse. The doctors have no hopes of his final recovery. |
| Reed, Allen Mrs. | Telluride Daily Journal 11-10-1908 Attempt Made on the Life of Mrs. Phipps Denver, Nov.10. No definite clew has yet been established as to the identity of the woman who yesterday endeavored to extort $20,000 from Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps by threats, and being foiled, attempted to kill herself and Mrs. Phipps and her young daughter, Helen, by hurling two sticks of dynamite in front of the automobile in which they were sitting in front of the Equitable building, on the corner of Seventeenth and Stout streets in this city. The woman had registered at the American house Friday as Mrs. H. E. Cones of Albany, N. Y., and to Mrs. Phipps presented herself as a special writer for newspapers and at present collaborating with Josh Medill Patterson in preparing a book on socialism and society. She is 35 or 40 years old, well dressed in mourning, and has the appearance and manners of a gentlewoman. At the jail she is either feigning insanity cleverly or is temporarily deranged by the use of morphine as the result of a recent illness. To the chief of police she said she did not know who she was or where she was, that she came to Denver from somewhere in the East with Madame Leroy, who had a strange influence over her. Later in the day the woman was identified as Mrs. Allen Reed, wife of a druggist in this city. She returned recently from Springfield, Mass., where she had gone to attend the funeral of her father. She is believed to be insane. Taking advantage of Chief of Police Armstrong's momentary absence from his private office, where he had been questioning her, Mrs. Reed this morning attempted to end her life by swallowing a quantity of morphine. The chief returned just in time to knock the tablets from her hand as she was in the act of putting them in her mouth. Mrs. Reed is a member of Trinity M. E. church of this city, and has been highly respected. |
| Reed, Allen Mrs. | Telluride Daily Journal 11-17-1909 The Trial of Mrs. Read Is Being Continued Today The Defense is Trying to Prove That at the Time of the Attempted Extortion Mrs. Read Was Insane and Violent Denver, Nov. 17. The defense today continued its efforts to prove that Mrs. Allen F. Read, on trial for an attempted extortion of $100,000 from Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, was insane at the time of the attempt. Miss Jennie Campbell, Mrs. Read's sister, testified to the erratic actions of Mrs. Read while in the east attending her father's funeral. Dr. Anna Ovitt who accompanied Mrs. Abby Marshall when the latter visited Mrs. Read in the jail shortly after her arrest told of Mrs. Read's attempt to assault Mrs. Marshall and said that at that time she was very violent. |

| Reitz, Otto E. | Record Journal of Douglas County 4-15-1921 Insane Man Tries To Kill Family Otto E. Reetz, aged 34, of Weshkaro, Wisc., a brother of Mrs. Nels Axelson, of Hill Top, became violently insane early Thursday morning and attempted to murder the entire family. Reetz came to Colorado about two weeks ago for a visit with the Axelsons. He has been afflicted with epilepsy since childhood. At about 3 o'clock Thursday morning he entered the bed room of Mr. and Mrs. Axelson and attacked the six months old baby. Mr. and Mrs. Axelson immediately arose and succeeded in getting the baby away from him. He then attacked Mrs. Axelson, and it was only through the hardest kind of battle with the insane man that Axelson prevented him from murdering the woman and a three-year old boy. The family finally escaped from the building and took refuge elsewhere and sent word to Sheriff Nickson to take charge of the fellow. Sheriff Nickson and Undersheriff Hooper went over early Thursday morning to get the fellow and bring him to Castle Rock for trial, but it was found necessary to take him to the hospital for treatment for wounds he had received in his fist fight with Axelson. Trial will probably be held at Castle Rock within a few days. |

| Rhodes, E. M. | Fort Collins Weekly Courier 2-3-1910 Pitiful Case of Dement Woman Wife of Former Justice of the Peace at Bellvue Committed to Asylum- Has a Mania for Burning. - (From Tuesday's Daily) One of the most pitiful cases that has come before the county court in many years was the hearing this morning of Mrs. E. M. Rhodes, wife of a former justice of the peace at Bellvue, who has lost her reason and was committed to the state asylum at Pueblo. In order to bring the unfortunate woman to Fort Collins, it was necessary for Deputy Sheriff Pindell to impersonate her son, whom she has been expecting from Riverton, Wyoming, for some time. The aged woman greeted the officer warmly and gladly accompanied him and Sheriff Carlton in an automobile to this city, believing that she was being taken home by her son. She has a mania for burning and her husband, himself broken in health, has been obliged to be alone with her in their home in Bellvue, for weeks, to keep her from harming herself or burning down the house. He could not leave her side night or day. Other members of the family were driven out by the demented woman, who labors under the hallucination that everybody intends to do her harm. Drs. Wilkin and Purcell testified that her condition was such that she would soon become totally paralyzed, her spine being affected. County attorney Herring appeared for the county and Attorney VanHorn was appointed guardian ad litem for the unfortunate woman. She has no property, although she informed the court that her son had given her a thousand dollars. |

Rice, who was acquitted last week before the District Court in trial on charge of the murder of Policeman Silas Marts, was adjudged insane by a jury in the County Court Thursday and was sent to Woodcroft sanatorium for treatment. It is believed that Mrs. Rice will take him to a lower altitude for treatment. |
| Rice, Charles O. | Telluride Daily Journal 1-1-1904 Dr. Rice Acquited. Pueblo, Jan.1 Dr. Chas. O. Rice who was acquitted of murder by a jury yesterday afternoon, a sensational trial was today arrested on a charge of insanity and confined in Woodcroft Sanitarium. An inquest on his mental condition will be held. Rice while insane with intoxication Oct. 7, killed Policeman Martz. His defense was insanity. Rice and wife were preparing to leave the city today when arrested. |
| Rice, Charles O. | Summit County Journal 9-3-1904 Dr. Rice Discharged. Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 27. Dr. Charles O. Rice has been declared sane and discharged from custody. This action followed a report made by a board of examiners composed of Dr. Black and Dr. Duggins, appointed by Judge Gibson for the purpose of examining into Dr. Rice's mental condition. The examination was held in the County Court room Wednesday evening and but few persons were aware that Dr. Rice and his wife were in the city. As soon as he had been released, Dr. and Mrs. Rice returned to Denver. The examining physicians say that they found his mental faculties in good condition. Dr. Hubert Work, superintendent of Woodcroft sanitarium for the insane, gave it as his belief that Dr. Rice had regained his reason. Twelve physicians at Dr. Rice's trial for the murder of Officer Marts testified that he was insane. He was acquitted of the murder charge, adjudged insane and committed to Woodcroft sanitarium, where he remained a few weeks. Then he was placed in the custody of his wife, who took him to the old home in West Virginia. The examination and discharge from custody were necessary before he could resume the practice of his profession. Until that was done he was still a patient and in custody. |

| Rice, Charles O. | Durango Democrat 10-27-1904 Dr. Rice Given a Big Judgment Pueblo, Oct. 26. Dr. Charles O. Rice was today given a verdict for $3,400 against the United States Fidelity & Guarantee company for failure of the company to make good its contract on a bond for the construction of the Rice sanitarium in this city. The suit was of considerable interest to Pueblo, since Dr. Rice was formerly one of the most prominent physicians in the city and was the principal figure in one of the most sensational killings that the city has ever known. While under the influence of morphine and whiskey Dr. Rice shot and killed Policeman Silas Martz and in an attempt to arrest him Officer Slater was accidentally shot in such a manner that death soon resulted. Dr. Rice was for some time in the county jail charged with murder, but was declared insane by a jury in the county court. After being confined for a time at Woodcroft, a sanitarium for the insane, he was pronounced cured and went East for several months to his old home in Virginia. Some months ago he returned to Denver, where he is now practicing medicine |

| Rice, Ora | Fairplay Flume 1-8-1904 Ora Rice, a young man who owns considerable property in live stock and ranches, became insane at Fort Collins a few days ago and terrorized the neighborhood by a display of firearms. He was arrested, after a severe conflict by Deputy Sheriff Richart and Night Watchman Ganders and his relatives were notified of his condition. |
| Rice, Ora | Fort Collins Weekly Courier 12-30-1903 Jury Found Ora Rice Dangerously InsaneOra Rice, who was taken into custody last Sunday by Deputy Sheriff Will Richart and Night Watchman Ed Sanders, after a hard struggle was tried in county court to a jury of six Monday afternoon. Deputy District Attorney J. W. Norvell prosecuted and Judge H. I. Garbutt was appointed by the court to represent the defendant. A number of witnesses were examined and the jury found Rice to be so mentally deranged as to be dangerous to himself and others. A continuance of five days was granted by the court, pending developments in the case before committing him to a hospital or asylum. He is a young man and was considered very bright until a short time since, when this malady came on, and it is thought by keeping him a few days the cause of his trouble may be learned. It is also desirable to hear from his father who is in the east in the interest of a patent horseshoe of his own invention, and his sister, Mrs. C. P. Miller, who is at Ann Arbor, Mich. |
| Rice, Ora | Fort Collins Weekly Courier 1-6-1904 The county court issued an order to the sheriff on Thursday to give over the custody of Ora Rice to his father, who will take him to Woodcroft hospital Friday for treatment. |
| Rice, Ora | Fort Collins Weekly Courier 12-30-1903 Exciting Experience With a Maniac Deputy Sheriff Richart and Night watchman Ed. Sanders had an exciting experience with Ora Rice, an insane man at the residence owned by Mrs. Dr. C. P. Miller on Remington street Sunday evening. Rice had been acting strangely and apparently demented for some time. On Sunday he locked himself in a room, in which he had three shot guns and bared the doors on the inside. Neighbors, fearing he might do violence to himself or passersby, notified Officers Richart and Sanders, who went to the house. The only means of entry to the room in which Rice had locked himself was through an upstairs window and despite the chances he was taking, Deputy Richart secured a ladder and went up, while Officer Sanders guarded the avenues of escape. Rice was in a crouching position in the middle of the room and pounced upon the officer as soon as he entered. Sanders, hearing the noise of the scuffle above rushed up the ladder, and the two had almost as much as they could do to get the handcuffs on the maniac. The community breathed easier when they knew he was safe in the county jail, as for several days he has terrorized the people by a great display of fire arms. |

Judge Talbot, who has been relaxing his energies in Denver for several days past, returned on Sunday morning, and yesterday renewed his labors in the examination of Mrs. W. C. Richards under a complaint of lunacy, the following jury pronouncing judgment: Henry Boltero, P. Collins, B. B. Parker, R. R. McLeod, James Doran, and J. F. Bateman. Mrs. Richards is a lady far advanced in years, and has for several weeks been attracting attention by her strange conduct. On Sunday she became quite demonstrative, and the authorities were called upon to take charge of her, with the result that she was adjudged insane, and ordered to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo. This builds the number of Lake county patients in the infirmary at Pueblo up to thirty-one during the present year, afflictions of the brain having run almost like a contagion. The causes that have led to dementia in the city during the year have been discussed frequently, and are an old story at this time. The perpetual strain on the inhabitants' nerves has made many of them surrender. |

About 9 o'clock this morning, while the other prisoners were eating breakfast, Dan attempted to commit suicide by cutting the arteries of his wrists with an old razor. Two gashes were cut on the left and one deep one on the right wrist. Drs. Galloway and Lee were called in great haste, and the utmost caution was required to save the man's life. He is believed to be demented. |

| Richardson, Jno. C. | Basalt Journal 1-5-1901 Missing Stockman The citizens of Burns are anxious to discover the whereabouts of Jno. C. Richardson of that place, who disappeared the latter part of August and has not since been heard of. On August 25 Mr. Richardson, who is a resident of Burns precinct, attended the democratic county convention at Basalt as a delegate. He was then apparently sane and well, but immediately afterward became insane and demented. Instead of returning to his home by rail, as he might have done, he set out to walk fully forty miles across a country where travel is difficult. En route he was seen several times by different parties to whom the fanciful tales he told plainly demonstrated that he was demented. He finally appeared at the station of Shoshone, on the D & R. G., in the Grand river canon. To those he met there he said he guessed he had wheels in his head but was all right now, and went on his way. He evidently returned to his home at Burns, for on November 7 he was one of the election officials who carried the election returns to Red Cliff. He was apparently in good health at that time. But when, some time afterward, he did not return to Burns, his friends began making inquiry. The last authentic trace of Mr. Richardson was in the vicinity of Dotsero on November 15. A stockman riding the range in the vicinity of Dotsero came across him in the hills. Richardson was on foot. He pulled his gun and declared to the man on horseback that he need not be following him; that he knew he had been off, but was now all right and going home. His chance acquaintance knew nothing of his past trouble, of which he assured him, and allowed him to go on his way. Richardson has not appeared at his home, nor has he been seen or heard from since. Inquiry was made of relatives who live in St. Louis, but they had heard nothing from him. Sheriff Fleck has received a letter from the demented man's mother, asking that search be instituted at once. Richardson is a single man, well to do, and should have been possessed of considerable money at the time of his disappearance. He is about 50 years of age, with sandy hair and beard, ruddy complexion; is about 5 feet 10 inches tall and of spare build. Eagle County Examiner. |

| Richmond, Maud | Aspen Tribune 10-22-1896 Freaks of Insanity A Woman Imagines Herself a Circus Horse A Man's Hallucination Denver, Oct. 21. Mrs. Maud Richmond, who was born in Denver 24 years ago, became violently insane today. She imagines herself to be a circus horse. Two years ago her husband was killed in a circus, where both were employed. The woman came to Denver to visit her child, who is living with a brother somewhere here. She walked from Omaha to this city. Charles Horten, aged 50 years, en route from San Francisco to New York, was arrested here today. He is violently insane, and imagines that he is being pursued by a locomotive full of wild men. |
| Richmond, Maud Virginia | Aspen Weekly Times 10-24-1896 Must Be Goldbugs Denver Is Being Overrun With Insane People Denver, Oct. 21. Both last evening and this morning the police were kept busy with several extraordinary insanity cases in this city. Last evening Charles Conlon shot Miss Emma Plunkett and her brother William Plunkett at a boarding house on Lawrence street. There was no reason for the shooting except that the man suddenly went insane. He escaped and has not since been captured. Both of the wounded people will recover. This morning Mrs. Maud Virginia Richmond, 24 years of age, an expert circus bareback rider and trapeze performer, arrived in Denver, looking for her 11-year-old daughter. Shortly afterwards the lady while at the depot was seized with a form of epileptic insanity. The police were called but Mrs. Richmond led them a wild chase for a mile before she was captured. She imagines herself a circus horse. Mrs. Richmond was born in Denver and two years ago lost her husband while both were attached to a circus. Since that time she has had fits of insanity. Later in the morning Edward Hoften of San Francisco was arrested in North Denver a raving maniac and it took six officers to get him to the police headquarters. Hoften was on his way from San Francisco to New York and stopped off in Denver. His mania is that he is being pursued by a railroad engine full of wild men. He appears to be a man in comfortable circumstances and his friends in San Francisco have been wired. |

Roberts of Oak Creek was found insane yesterday by a commission in the county court and will be taken to Pueblo by Deputy Sheriff Hardy Decker tomorrow morning.

It has that appearance and samples have been sent to assayers for tests. Hardy Decker is sufficiently interested in the matter that last week when he took J. W. Roberts to the insane asylum he stopped off on his way back to look over the tungsten fields of Boulder county. In this way he will get an insight into the formation and methods of occurrence of the much-sought-for mineral, and is very sanguine that important discoveries will be made in Routt county. |

| Roberts, John W. | Routt County Sentinel 4-28-1916 Sent to Woodcroft Sanitarium John W. Roberts, father of Mrs. C. B. Raney and W. E. and E. T. Roberts of Oak Creek, was on Tuesday night brought to Steamboat Springs by his two sons, who next day lodged a complaint against him, charging that he was insane. The misfortune of the old gentleman is said to have been caused by a fall a few months ago, resulting in a blood clot in the brain, causing a partial paralysis and his derangement. The matter was referred by Judge Morning to the lunacy commissioners, Drs. Willett and Dodge, who found him insane and he was ordered committed to the state insane asylum. As that institution has no room for him, he will be taken care of for the present at the Woodcroft hospital at Pueblo. Deputy Sheriff H. E. Decker of Oak Creek started out with the patient yesterday. |

She had always been of a jovial disposition, full of life. Had suffered severely with asthma and finally got relief. Whether the medicines she took for that affected her is not known. About 3 years ago her father died and this was a great shock to her. About a year ago a young man that she was very fond of died while she was nursing him and she has been despondent ever since. She is very weak, there being hardly any flesh on her bones. Source also references article in Boulder County Herald Weekly 5-13-1896.

| Robinson, Mrs. | Fort Collins Courier 8-21-1907 Sheriff Florance of Greeley, was an official visitor in the city on Sunday. He came after Mrs. Robinson, a demented woman, who has given the authorities of Weld and Larimer counties a good deal of trouble this summer. Mrs. Robinson belongs in Weld county and, though clearly of unsound mind, she has been allowed to escape from the hospital in Greeley and wander around over the country, to the annoyance of other people. The failure of the Weld county authorities to have the woman committed to the insane asylum, where she would be much better off, looks a little as if they wanted to shift the responsibility upon Larimer county. |

| Roche, Patrick | Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 12-5-1896 Patrick Roche, the Well Known Grocer, Violently Insane and Sent to the Asylum. He Tried to Kill His Wife on Several Occasions-Insanity Said to be in the Family-She Wants to Get Even With the Caledonians-Business of the District Court. Patrick Roche was taken to Pueblo last night by Sheriff Newman, a total mental wreck. He was tried for insanity before Judge Krell, and the facts brought out fully bear out the statements made by his friends, who have been watching him for some time. A few years ago Roche was a prosperous business man here, and made considerable money with his grocery store on East Sixth Street. It appears, however, that he drank considerably, but was afterwards braced up by the Keely cure. During the past year, however, he drifted back into his old habits and symptoms of acute insanity began to manifest themselves. Mrs. Roche was compelled to look after the business almost entirely and at the same time look after Roche, who when in one of his insane fits became violent. On several occasions he tried to cut her throat, and had it not been for the interference of the neighbors, he certainly would have succeeded in accomplishing his purpose. The last ---(illegible) was committed on his wife some six or seven weeks ago, and Mrs. Roche satisfied that she could no longer endure ---(illegible) an existence swore out a complaint again Roche, and he was arrested. After watching him for some time in jail, Drs. McDonald and Crook became thoroughly convinced that the man's mind was seriously affected and that he continued to grow worse daily. In fact he was gradually approaching the condition of mania which made him dangerous to others as well as himself. From the expert evidence in the case it appeared that the insanity was at least partially due to alcoholism, and that there was also an hereditary (illegible) of insanity in the family. |

| Rosa, Osvaldo | Silverton Standard 3-19-1904 Osvaldo Rosa, by jury trial was adjudged insane in the County Court, Monday afternoon, and the following morning was taken out to Pueblo by Sheriff Casad. Rosa has at no time been rational since it was discovered, a week ago, that his actions were not of the ordinary. Sunday night he played sad havoc with his bedding at the jail and at his trial was almost violent at times. The pretext under which the poor demented soul consented to leave Silverton was that he would be taken to his home in Italy, which country he left some six years ago. Dr. Potts who diagnosed the case predicts that death will release miseries before another thirty days. The jurymen were Henry Born, L. F. Pomell, R. R. Finkbinder, A. L. Maxwell and A. C. Austin. |

He is about 27 years old and has evidently only recently recovered from a sick spell. Sheriff Strawbridge will leave for Pueblo with the patient this morning. |

Rotterman, the man who became violently insane on the train a short time ago, passed through here on Wednesday morning on his way to the asylum at Pueblo. He was in the care of Sheriff Adams, of Glenwood, and Ed Slaughter, of this place. On the way he became almost unmanageable, biting and scratching at his custodians incessantly. At one time he asked for a glass of water, and when it was given to him he drank and then bit a large piece out of the side of the glass. The glass was shone to a representative of the Examiner, and though hardly credible, it was bitten out just as clean as were it some soft substance, the teeth marks being quite plain. |

| Routt, Frank C. | Fort Collins Weekly Courier 2-10-1910 (F)rank C. Routt Adjudged InsaneSon of Old Territorial Governor and Former Resident of Fort Collins Must Go to Asylum. (From Thursday's Daily) Frank C. Routt, a son of the old territorial governor of Colorado, was adjudged insane in the county court yesterday evening. Routt, who is a man about 60 years of age, although not violent, has a bad case of illusionary insanity, probably brought on by excessive use of alcohol, according to the medical experts who testified at the trial, says the Denver Republican. The afflicted man is laboring under the impression that a number of persons whom he has never seen, but whose voices he has heard constantly, are following him and planning to take his life. When he was placed upon the stand he told a pathetic story of the persecutions which he had suffered at the hands of these people. He was arrested at the St. Elmo hotel on December 24th, having arrived in Denver from Hot Springs on the preceding evening. According to the statements of the clerk, he appeared to be all right when he registered. The following morning, however, he appeared in the corridors of the hotel with a gun in his hand declaring that he had heard persons in the next room plotting to take his life. |

| Routt, John L. | Breckenridge Bulletin 4-27-1907 Gov. A Lunatic This Charge is Made Against Ex-Governor Routt Fight Over His Estate Claim Made that Colorado's Former Governor Was of Unsound Mind When He Transferred Property Denver. Inquiry into the sanity of Former Governor John L. Routt has been begun in the County Court. A jury has been impaneled upon the former governor's mental condition. Owing to the fact that the lunacy complaint sworn out by Mrs. Dila Routt Collins against her father was irregular in form, Judge Charles McCall granted the request of Attorney Charles A. Stokes, representing Mrs. Collins, for a continuance until May 3d. Besides Attorney Stokes there were present in court when the case was called Attorney Ralph Hartzell, Attorney Ben C. Hilliard, guardian ad litem appointed by the court; Stuart D. Walling, representing John H. Routt, and County Attorney Fred Parks. No testimony was taken at the inquiry, although the intention had been to have Mrs. Collins and other members of the family testify as to the condition of the governor's mind. Then the members of the jury were to have visited the Routt home to ascertain for themselves his mental condition. The petition filed by Mrs. Collins, which forestalled any attempt of the four remaining children of Governor Routt to make a fight to contest the will left by Mrs. Routt and also the trust deed executed a few days before her death, which transferred $100,000 worth of real estate to Mrs. Collins, and which has been suppressed, is now made public for the first time. It reads as follows: To the Hon. Ben B. Lindsey, judge of county Court: Your complainant, Lila Routt Collins of said city and county of Denver, respectively, makes complaint against John L. Routt and allege: That said John L. Routt is a lunatic, or an insane person, and is so distracted in mind as to be incapable of properly or safely attending to his affairs or managing his estate. That said John L. Routt was the husband of Eliza J. Routt, late of the said city and county of Denver, who departed this life in said city and county of Denver on March 22, A.D. 1907. That said deceased left a last will and testament, wherein the said John L. Routt was named as a devisee and beneficiary, and by virtue of the said will the said John L. Routt is entitled to real and personal property, which he is incapable of properly managing. That by the insane condition of the said John L. Routt he is incapable of realizing the effect of or understanding the citation which must be served upon him before said will can be probated in this court. Wherefore your complainant respectfully asks that inquiry may be made into the sanity of said John L. Routt and whether he is so insane or distracted in mind as to render him incapable of managing his estate, then your complainant prays that a conservator be appointed by this court to care for, manage and control the estate of said John L. Routt in accordance with the statute in such cases made and provided. Lila Routt Collins. |
| Routt, John L. | Creede Candle 12-21-1907 Governor Routt's Mind Affected. Denver. The deed by which Governor John L. Routt transferred in 1902 the Routt homestead at Fourteenth and Welton street to Mrs. Elizabeth F. Routt, and which now constitutes the Routt estate, was ordered cancelled by Judge Greeley W. Whitford in the District Court Monday when he gave a decision in the suit brought by the children of the late governor against the trustees. The court held that the governor was insane, not intoxicated, when he signed the warranty deed conveying all his property to Mrs. Routt, who subsequently transferred it by deed of trust to Mrs. Lila Elkins Routt Collins, the only child by Governor Routt's second marriage. By the decision, which is in favor of the four Routt children by Governor Routt's marriage with Ann Routt - - John H. Routt, Frank C. Routt, Mrs. Birdie Bryant, Mrs. Emma L. Butler and the grandson, Charles Routt Hartzell, a minor-the property now reverts to the estate and must be administered in the County Court. N.

| Routt, John L. | Telluride Daily Journal 12-17-1907 Governor Routt Insane Denver, Dec. 17. In the district court Monday Judge Greeley Whitford ruled that former Governor John L. Routt was insane at the time he transferred his homestead to Eliza Q. Routt, his second wife. The case was before the court in a suit brought by the four children of the former Governor by his first marriage. Mrs. Routt gave the property, valued at $100,000, to her daughter and the children by the first wife set up the claim that the father was insane at the time he deeded away their claim to the property. |
| Routt, John L. | Steamboat Pilot 5-8-1907 Gov. Routt Insane Former Governor John L. Routt was last week adjudged of unsound mind in the county court of Denver. He was 81 years old on April 25 and is suffering from senile dementia. Governor Routt won an enviable reputation in the Civil war as a soldier of daring the Grant type of determination. He was appointed third assistant postmaster general under Grant and then territorial governor of Colorado. When Colorado was admitted to statehood he was twice elected governor by the people. After the expiration of his term he went to Leadville and obtained control of the Morning and Evening Star mines on Carbonate hill. He became wealthy but afterward lost most of his wealth. At the time of his wife's death the $80,000 in her hands was all that was left of a once large estate, and the shattered mind of the governor is all that remains of a personality that helped make Colorado what it is. |
