Former Canon Man
in Fatal Acciden

Guy N Helm. q former Canon City
resident, died at his home in Rock
Springs. Wyoming. on January Sth.
from the effects of injuries received
in an automobile accident two days
previously. Mr.. Helm in company
with one of his neighbors was driving
along the road some distance from
Rock Springs when one of the wheels
of the car ran into badger hole,
causing the machine to give a sud
den lurch which threw both men out
with great force. Mr.. Helm sus-
tanned a dislocated spine and from
the first his friends were unable TO
entertain any hope OF his recovery.
Mr. Helm was about thirty-six
years of age and was well known in
Rock Springs where he had lived for
father, a brother and sister. The
following data in relation to the de-
ceased was furnished the Daily
Record by James E. Mcclure:
Guy NJ Helm was the son of Chas
Helm now engaged in the grocery
business at Salt Lake City. and was
born here In 1881; hts mother being
the eldest daughter of the late W. II.
Mcclure. The mother and father of
the deceased grew up In Canon City
and received their education in the
~
The sister of the deceased, Mrs. R
B. Carpenter. spent her girihood days
in Canon City and was married here
She now lives at Marshall, Missouri.
On receipt of telegram apprising
her of her brothers death. she went
to Rock Springs to attend the funer-
al. In looking over her brothers eff
fects while there she was greatly
surprised to find life insurance
policy for $4,000 which was made
payable to her. She collected the
money before leaving Rock Springs
and then went to Salt Lake City to
visit her father. Later she came here
to see her grandmother, Mrs. Sarah
E. Helm. her cousin. Mrs. ]. H. Hood.
and her uncle and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs
James E. Mcclure. at s13 River st.
Mrs. Carpenter left on Thursday
of this week for Denver. where she
will spend few days with her broth
er. Clyde. at Brighton before return
ing home. She also has brother
Waiter Helm. who was raised in
Canon City. but who is now in the
United States army. The last time
she heard from him he was prepar-
ing for military service overseas and
1t is thot probable that he is now
with Gen. Pershing's expeditionary
forces in France

CHRISTMAS AT CAMP FUNSTON

wagon swung into the big circle than
blood-curdling cry broke the still
ness and this band of Indians. hidden
behind the "Kaw- dixie. swooped
down upon the train. A lively ex-
change of shots took place but Santa
Claus and his prairie schooners were
rescued just in the nick of time by a
troop Of cowboys who came flying
across the plain.
Up to the point where the cowboys
made an appearance. everything had
gone smoothly But now thrill. un-
planned and unexpected. was inject
ed into the performance. When this
yelling shouting crowd bore down up
on the wagon train. every one of those
two hundred seventy-two mules made
rush toward the center of the cir
Gle. It was maDifestly impossible for
each one of those jackasses to occupy
the same space. The result is not
easily imagined. 1t took an hours
time to extricate the struggling ami
male untangle the wagons and make
sure that no one was hurt. This was
eventually accomplished, however.
and the distribution of the Christmas
gifts effected.
Truly the patron saint of lonely
boys at Christmas time was very
liberal. ..ot a soul was forgotten.
Special wagons visited the detention
camp and the hospitals. The thot-
fulness of the home-folks who contrib
uted to the joy of Christmas day at
Funston will not be soon forgotten.
Bpt the day was not yet at an end.
At seven-thirty o'clnck every bugle in
camp sounded attention" and rock
ct whizzed high into the air burst
ing and showering its stars into the
night. A wonderful display of fire
works followed. Bombs and rockets,
fountains of fire. whirligigs and
strange contrivances innumerable dis
PEELED the darkness on the Arkansas
bluffs. The display was visible from
all parts of the camp. It was con-
cluded with a large silhouette of the
man who has made Camp Funston the
best of all the National Army can
tonments. Major General Wood.
Christmas is always memorable
anniversary. 1t can be the most Joy
Gus of days; 1t can also be the sad
dest. The forethot and generosity of
friends made Shristmas, 1917 happy
day at Funston 1t will linger long In
the memory of those who participated
! in its pleasure.
