And that the sad injuries were inflicted with felonious intent. The above information had to be received from the coroner at Colorado Springs for the reason that it was impossible to obtain the verdict here. Editor Times. A large robust-looking man, about 45 years of age, apparently a miner by occupation and supposed to be John Quinlan of Georgetown, died of convulsions at the city jail Thursday night, and the remains are now lying at Fairley Bros. undertaking establishment, where as inquest will be held. The man was sitting near the stove in the Turf saloon, Christmas evening, when he was suddenly taken with convulsions and fell upon the floor, where he lay writhing and gasping and frothing at the mouth until he was removed to the city jail by Officers Carberry and Johnson. Dr. Chambers was summoned to the jail, but was unable to revive the man, who remained in convulsions until Thursday afternoon, when he expired. There is not a scrap of paper on his person or anything by which he might be identified, but Thomas Cayle says he believes the dead body to be that of John Quinlan of Georgetown, and telegraphic dispatches have been sent out to ascertain whether Quinlan is missing from that place. (See article below for name of the man.) Dec 31, 1895: The remains of the man who died of convulsions in the city jail several days ago were identified by Father Volpe as Harry Quinn of Georgetown. Mrs. Quinn is on her way to this city to take the remains back to her home for burial. John T. Hughes, who was injured by an explosion of giant powder at a mine on Bull hill, and was conveyed to the Sister’s hospital in this city, was not expected to live at a late hour last night. He was struck in the forehead by a rock and his skull crushed. He was delirious at last reports. He is a single man and his father is expected to arrive here this morning.
