Gottlieb Fluhmann
Gottlieb Fluhmann (c. 1837 - c. 1892) was a reclusive cattle rancher in Park County, Colorado, whose mysterious disappearance was not resolved until 1944. Even then it was impossible more than a half-century later to determine what had caused his death.
==Ranching background==
A native of Switzerland, Fluhmann was 5'4" in stature and spoke in broken English. He came to the United States in the early 1860s. Making his way west to Colorado to seek gold, he instead settled in the Puma Hills north of Lake George in Park County "a beautiful log cabin at the edge of a lush, spring-fed meadow." Five large windows offered a scenic view. The floor of his cabin was made of planks. Sanded boards lined the inside walls. There were built-in cabinets and molding around the ceiling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Richard Barth, ''Pioneers of the Colorado Parks – North, Middle, and South Parks from 1850 to 1900'' )〕
Few people ever visited Fluhmann, who was considered "a suspicious, argumentative, and flighty old man with almost no friends and no relatives" nearer than St. Louis, Missouri, where he had a niece, Alice Fluhmann. A nephew, John Fluhmann, lived in Crested Butte in Gunnison County in western Colorado.〔 With his loyal mongrel dog, Fluhmann checked his cattle daily, armed with an 1886 .38-caliber Marlin rifle attached to his saddle and a .45-caliber pistol under his coat. Fluhmann believe that he was a victim of cattle thieves, but he was unable to stop the rustling. 〔He even treated his cattle like personal pets.〔
Fluhmann built another domicile a mile away in a cave of a high rock cleft, from which he could watch for rustlers or other strangers who might approach his land, but no one knew of this outpost. Neighbors reported Fluhmann missing. A search party, including the nephew, was organized. Fluhmann was declared dead in 1894, probably one or two years after his death. His remains had not yet been found, but Fluhmann's estate was probated.〔He left behind "a fine ranch and a thousand head of cattle."〔''Colorado Democrat'', Buena Vista, Colorado, May 15, 1895〕 The administrator of the estate reported having sold 166 head of cattle in the spring of 1893. There was no explanation for the other cattle.〔
