PASSENGER TRAIN WRECK
NEAR CIMARRON MONDAY
Three Rear Coaches Overturned
But All Passengers Escaped
Serious Injury.

'Tis not often that a passenger
train can be hurled from the tracks
and coaches completely overturned
in the mountain districts of this sec
tion without a record which would
cause sadness to many homes, but
this is just what happened at about
2 O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The i'll fated train was No. 316,
which usually carries many Delta
county passengers over Marshall
pass from Montross TO Sallida. Three
rear coaches left the rails at a point
about one mile this side of Cimar-
ron. and when an inventory of
the damage was made, it developed
chat but two or three of the many
passengers had sustained trivial frac-
lures. The engine and front coach
es held their places and carried the
passengers to their destination.
There were eeveral passengers
from this county aboard the train
that day but all escaped unhurt. AT
the time the accident occurred the
tnSlnttI NdS pl lONttulhS Ndltl hllE
with his train and this prevented
horror.
Since the above was put in type
the report comes that six or seven
persons were injured in the wreck
and all We're taken to the Rio
Grande hospital in Salida for sur
Iical attention. None OF the iniur-
its, however, were of a very serious
nature. Among the injured were
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowie of Somerset,

of Telluride and Miss Nettie Lund

HIGH WATER ENPECTED IN
THE GUNNISON THIS SPRING

Usually at this time much of the
surface and foot hill SHOWS have
melted and passed down the chan
mel of the Gunnison river.
The lateness of the present spring
and the large amounts of spring
snow in the mountains, ready to
slush as soon as warm sun strikes
it. causes considerable apprehension
of high waters, particularly If the
change should come suddenly. There
are usually two periods of flood
water in the Gunnison at this point
in spring time, one the latter part
of April. and second the last half
of May and up to the 10th of June.
With the extra amount of snow in
the mountains and but little flood
water now gone down. pretty high
water can be expected.

DARING HOLD-UP OF GLOBE
EXPRESS co. AT JUNCTION
Local Officers Spotted Two Suspects
Who We're Later Released.
Gilbert Arrested.

The daring hold-up of Bert Gill
company in Grand junction last
Friday night when sl4, 200 in gold,
enrou.e to Somerset to meet the
pay roll of the coal mines, was a
topic for much general discussion
in this city all day Saturday and
Sunday. Deta officers were prompt
~ notified of the robbery and to
be on the watch for suspicious char
acters.
Two men, partly answering ;he
meagre description given, were here
all day Sunday and Officers 'shad-
owed" them for several hours. Their
actions here were decidedly of a
suspicious nature inasmuch as they
would meet or pass each other on
the s.ree S and act as absolute s.ran-
gers. Again they would be seen to-
gether in some obscure place and
on the very best of terms.
The two men went to the juno
tion Sunday and were taken there
on notice by wire from Delta Off
GERS. They were released, how
ever, for lack of evidence.
Gilbert. the young express agent,
was assaiIed by two ruffians about
1880 O'Clock last Friday night and
forced TO open his safe where the
$4,000 was held and ready for trans
fer TO the morning train Saturday
and delivery to the coal mine Off
cials at Somerset. The two men
quickly took possession of the gold
and departed, leaving their victim
bound. gagged and partially uncon-
scious and but few. If any clews.
by which to effect their capture.
Agent Suspected and Arrested.
Later-Ben Gilbert, agent of the
Globe Express Co, was arrested at
midnight "Wednesday night. charged
With the above theft. II is said
that Detective Shores has suspected
Gilbert from the beginning and has
watched his every move up to the
time of his arrest. Another Grand
Junctiol express employe was sus-
pected of aiding Gilbert, and his
arrest was expected hourly at the
time of going to press. No confess
sion has yet been made.

INTERESTING STATISTICS ON
APPLE PRODUCTION BY STATES

In 1895 the number of barrels of
apples in the United States was So
100000. The market demand WAS
then 45.0OO,000 barrels, making Is,
100000 barrels surplus. In 1896 the
apple crop was 6S.0O0,OO0 barrels.
giving a surplus of 2O.o00.0O0 bar
rels above market demand.
In any year since there has been
deficiency in the apple crop rang
ing from 4 500. 900 barrels up 10 30,-
100000 barrels. The average yield
has been about 100000 barrels.
ranging from year to year of the
fourteen years at from % 100000
barrels TO as high as $4,000, 900 bar
rels. the verge of a deficiency of
supply up to market demand being
about 10000 900 barrels.
These figures are based upon a
report ofithe Department of Agricul-
ture and will prove an eye-opener
to many orchardists who have lived
in constant fear that thee would
be an over supply causing low mar
kets
The report assumes that the total
possible output of all the Western
apple growing localities including
Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Washing
ton. if planted solidly to apples,
could be closely estimated at 25,-
600 900 boxes, or IL 100000 barrels
which would be 100000 barrels
less than tho average deficiency i'm
market demand.
This does not look like there was
any cause for alarm growing out of
l. possible over-supply, even though
all the apples possible to be raised on
all the available land were pro-
duced, and if there were no un-
favorable seasons or insect pests
to combat.
The secret of the orchards sue
cess, aside from the care and hand
ling. has come to be in tho CONNER
cial qualities of the fruit grown.

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN IN
LOCAL GUN CLUB PRACTICE

Members of the Delta Gun club
were out in full force Tuesday after
noon to take part in the bi-monthly
shoot. and this apparent interest
will doubtless increase from now
until 1.-The time for the registered
tournament of the Delta and Hotch-
kiss clubs in this city May 90 and
"a. next.
Following a few practice events
Tuesday. two teams were chosen to
contest each other. One of these
comprised DIR. Burgess. Geo. Crabir.
Guy Meyer and w. L. Schoolfield,
and the other Harvey Hart, Guy
Blair. Jack Killign and Fred King.
The second team above mentioned
won by one bird. after two ties.
There was also match between
George Crabill and Guy Blair which
caused considerable excitement, Cra-
bill winning by single bird.
Tuesday, May 2, the club will

SUIT FOR $4,000 SETTLED
WITH JUDGEMENT FOR S4.3C

George Mays, an employe of Jas.
Greenwood for some weeks past.
brought suit in Justice Coombe's s
court Tuesday morning for $4,000,
which he claimed was due him for
labor.
II was shown at the trial, how
ever. that Greenwood had given
Mays work. to help him along in the
care of his family more than for
any other purpose and that moth
ing had been said about the mag
nitude of the salary. At the con-
clusion of Mays first weeks work
he WIS given a check fo- $1,000.
and Mays testified that he I said
"thakns," on receipt of the check.
in substance, accepting the amount
as full payment for his services,
Later some III feeling between
employer and employed came about
and Mays made out his account at
the rate of $3.50 per day, or see.
The court, after hearing all evil
dence, rendered n verdict in favor
of Mays for $3.50.
Attorney Charlesworth appeared
for the defendant and Walker for
the plaintiff.

TEMPORARY RELEASE
FOR f. M. HEIDINGER
BECOMES A HELPLESS INVALID.
Lower Part of Body Now in Par
Iyzed Condition and Doctors
Think He May Not Live to
Come to Trial.

E. NJ. Heidinger, the former ex-
press messenger between this city
and Paonia, who made such IAN unen-
viable record last fall by his deal
iDgs with young girls of this county,
and who was held here for several
months on criminal charges prefer
red against him, was taken to Den
yer last Saturday evening by Sher-
of Williams.
Heidinger was held in the county
Jail fer some weeks following his
arrest, it will be remembered, and
when it became known that his low
er limbs were parlyzed, that he was
totally helpless and had to be han
died as a child, court order was
issued by District Judge Shackelford
permitting his removal from the
county jail to private boarding
house on Meeker street. The prison
er has gained some in flesh since
removal to the boarding house. He
has been provided with a private
nurse, but his paralysis is gradually
getting worse, according to the at
tending physician.
And now, upon motion of the
district attorney, who had an order
made out at the last term of dis
trict court requiring the defendant
to give a bond OF $500 for ap-
pearance on two charges, and sup
ported by the affidavits of DR.. Bur-
son, the court has granted Heiding-
er permission to go to Denver or
elsewhere if he shuold choose, upon
his own recognizance, he being un-
able to furnish sureties.
Heidinger is in very serious con-
dition and is not expected to live
until the time set for trial. These
concessions are therefore granted
because of this fact, but the court
order is so made that if he should
live and improve in health, he is to
appear at the September term of dis
trict court for trial or else become a
fugitive from justice. The case may
be determined from term to term as
occasion demands.
Heidinger receives a monthly in
surance fee of $50 from some COM
pany and considers himself perfectly
able to handle his own expense ac-
count in Denver or elsewhere. He
was quite anxious to get out of
Delta. and stated that he would
pay his own expenses from the city.
He was loaded into the express
car of the train last Saturday even
ing and thought he would be able
to stand the journey ALL right, with
the aid of reclining chair which
was furnished by those in charge.
