Judge R. A. Balm will resign the Of
fee of county Judge to-day, the res
ignation to take effect upon the first
day of October. This will leave that
Office vacant and It is the duty of the
county commissioners to fill it until
another judge is elected by the voters
of this county. The choice of the re-
publicans of this county, we have no
doubt, both to fill the interim, made
by Judge Bain's resignation, and as
the candidate for election this fall is
G. e. Waldo. Mr.. Waldo's thorough
acquaintance with legal lore, his un-
doubted good judgement in interpre-
tation of the law, the care he exer-
cises in determining all critical points,
his integrity and sound common
sense make him well fitted to hold
that important Office. The people of
Fremont county will never have re-
SON to regret the appointment or
election of Chas. E. Waldo to the Of
fee of county judge. He cannot be
approached corruptly. He will car
ry no personalities with him into that
Office and his keen appreciation of
justice and right will prevent him
from knowingly doing what is wrong.

Helms Garden.

Who is there in Canon City who
has not heard of Helms garden,
which for the luxuriant growth of
its trees, grasses, flowers and vines
has become as noted as any place of
the kind in the Arkansas valley?
These trees, which grow SO luxuri-
antly are nearly all of the fruit bear
ing varieties, apple, pear, peach,
plum, etc. The vines grow chiefly
grapes, abundantly and Of the most
delicious flavor. OF apples and pears
his crop was light this season on ac-
count of the worms, but such mag
nificent clusters and full large bunch
es of grapes are seldom seen any,
where. or this latter fruit he has
about twenty-five kinds, twelve of
which are bearing this year. Among
them are two seedlings of his own
raising, q fine. clear, highly favored,
compactly punched, white grape. The
grape he gives preference to for Color
strong growing vine, broad clear leaf
and beautiful, abundant clusters of a
fruit whose flavor can best be describ-
ed as that of elegantly distilled rose
water. The other varieties are all of
the best kinds and prove conclusive
ly that grapes can be raised in this
state as well as anywhere in the world.
Among other things to be seen grow
ing in He.m's garden are W alnut trees
bearing fruit and hazelnut bushes full
of nuts upon every side. On the
whole Helms garden is one which has
few rivals and superiors in Colorado
in variety and elegance of its fruits.

A WRECK.
Express Train No. 8 out Of Lack.

No. s, Denver & Rio Grande ex-
press, bound west, which arrives in
this city at 3:05 a. IN. daily, while
coming into the station ct the rate of
about As miles an hour struck box
freight car. loaded with ties, which
had been carelessly showed too far
along the sidetrack, upon the left
hand side of the main track, about
one-half mile east of the depot Mon
day morning. The train had just
rounded the big curve and the en-
gineer was unable to see the obstruc-
ton until he run into it. The engine
jumped the track instantly and where
it came down upon the ground made
hole fully foot deep. Then plung-
ing aleng at frightful speed it ran
over upon the siding on the right
side of the main track where it plow-
ed into the ground to considerable
depth, the right side of the To-
comotive going clear down into the
earth to the driving rods. The ten
der was swung around like the crack
er to whip and lay over nearly on
its right hand side across the back
end of the engine. The express car
was dragged off the track but remain
ed upright, while the passenger coach
es were left in place. Engineer Bres-
son was hurt some about the head
aud had his right arm bruised con-
siderably, and his fireman was slight
ly injured. The passengers were
shaken up in lively way. The box
car of ties was smashed into kindling
wood. The wreck occurred at the
switch and the engine went off 30 far
from the end of the side tracks that
trains were permitted to pass. No one
is to blame unless it be the conduc-
tor who made up the last freight for
the west soon after the cast bound
express passed.
