PAPEFH, JACOB - Death News
- an Austrian, age about 32, died mysteriously
in the reservoir, adjacent
to the Globe Smelter at East Denver, yesterday.
He was on the night shift
since Jan 14. At 5 o'clock he proceeded to
his lodgings at Elyria.
The employees usually resort to the reservoir,
where the escape of steam
pipe from the engine house enters, and there
wash there hands and
faces. It was presumed that Papefh went to the
reservoir and becoming
unconscious from apoplexy or heart trouble fell
into the water and
drowned. L. C. Harris first noticed that someone may
have drowned. Very little
attention was paid. A short time later a little
son of F. L. Heath noticed
a peculiar object in the water and reported to
his father. Remains were
removed, Dr. F. W. Rowley was to perform an autopsy.
Investigation by
Detectives Holland and Ingersoll discovered his footmarks
and not evidence of a
scuffle or struggle could be found. Investigation
discovered he was a
peaceful and industrious man, with no enemies. He was
in this country a few
years and had not mastered English. His brother is
also employed at the
smelter and cannot speak English. He believes he
he drowned accidentally.
He was about 5 feet 8 inches high, weights about
160 pounds, has dark
mustache, and was unmarried. No post mortem or inquest
was held as the detectives
feel the death was accidental. See *Papest, J.
See *Papesh, Jake.

PAPESH, JAKE - Death News
- see *Papefh, Jacob. Remains were dragged from the
water by Fred Keiper and
Charles Pauline, and taken to the boiler room at
the smelter. No money or
identification was found on the remains. Officers
are sure it was murder.
Nick DeTemple, a Swede who keeps a saloon near by,
identified the scarf and
cap as those worn by a carpenter who worked at the
smelter by the name of
Walter. He did not know the Swede's name but knew
he was a partner of the
murdered man.

PAUS, GEORGE Death News
at Byers, a young man found near a sheep corral at Bijou,
fifteen miles from Byers.
He was employed as a shepherd by R. Sherman of Bijou, and
two weeks ago, April 24,
he went out in that raging snow storm to go to a sheep
corral, seven miles from
his employers ranch. He lost his way in the blinding
blizzard and was frozen to
death. His remains were in a decomposed condition, and it
was necessary to bury him
in a rough pine coffin, whence he lay, away out in the
open prairie. He had
secured employment with Mr. Sherman though the Colorado labor
bureau, on Market Street.
Previous to that time he roomed at the Washington House,
15th and

(MRS.) Court News petitions to straighten out legal
matters concerning
property . She is a young lady of decidedly good-looking
face and pouting
disposition. She asks relief to recover real estate that she
asks on the ground that
she was minor when she conveyed the property and the lots
were secured by through
fraud, collusion and conspiracy. The defendant Bannon
is the divorced husband of
the plaintiff, to whom he was married whilst still under
14 years of age.
Defendants are; ex-District Attorney Rhodes, George Corbin,
George Girard, Ernest
Bannan, W. W. Cook and Lizzie A. Cook. Rhodes claims the
transactions are legal,
agreed to by the plaintiff and her father. Judge Green
counsel for the plaintiff,
relies strongly on the infancy of Mrs. Phillips as
grounds for having the
deeds cancelled. Mr. Rhodes claims the property in
payment for services for
her long and tedious divorce suit which received a
verdict in her favor.
Rocky Mountain News 5/18/1890 Pg 5 Court continues with
testimony from Mr. Rhodes.
Mrs. Phillips was married to Ernest Bauman, who later
got into financial
difficulty and transferred much of his real estate to his
then wife. She later sued
for divorce, causing the agreements to transfer the
property. (Extensive

intestines. During the operation they found
hard substances in his
intestines. On post-mortem examination, Dr. Hershey
found about twenty grains
of common sand or pebbles. The parents instituted
an investigation. While
attending Whittier School, it is customary the
larger boys there to do as
they please with the smaller ones. A common
trick practiced by them
was to place a little fellow against a wall, compel
him to close his eyes,
open his mouth and shout "Bah, bah black sheep",
and when the mouth was
open a handful of gravel was thrown into it and the
little fellow invariably
swallowed a quantity of the substance. The Doctor
noted his daughter
reported to him this trick was done almost every day.
Several neighbor children
reported seeing Willie go through the performance.
Robert Beggs, principal of
the school is to be advised of the practice.
Mr. Piggott has requested
further investigation. (Extensive article.)

PORTER, LUCIE - News
Article - Miss Lucie Porter and Tom Long have been
sweethearts for quite a
time and everyone who knew them would set money
that such an apparently
mutual and sugary affair would result in a
wedding. But the fates,
assisted by the young man, have sent forth a
different edict. For some
reason Thomas has cooled off in the ardor with
which he pursued his lady
love, and last week reached an anti nuptial
crisis. Miss Porter is a
plucky sort, and she is not going to release
Long from the promise to
marry, which she says he made as the gay and
festive Thomas. If she
cannot have him for a husband she will endeavor
to secure what will be
more value to her, his money. She has instituted
