All over the state, wherever coal s.
being mined the price has been put
up ky-high-from 81 to 50 higher. 1t
doesn't seem to be question any
more OF what ii costs to mine coal
but Is merely a question OF what the
traffic viii bear. Or rather. what coal
can be gotten in at from some other
source
II coal could be bought anywhere
and shipped in here at a less price
than s4-4o that price would probably
rule. But there seems to be no work
ing mines close enough to get the
coal in at less than the prevailing
figure.
The advance in Canon City has been
sitter than in any other town we
know anything about.
Canon City seems 10 be in no dan
ger OF coal famine. Win the tnres
mines mentioned running there should
be plenty OF coal for local consump
ton.
Judging from the comments In the
press from all over the state the
general opinion is that the big oper-
ators are overriding the thing in the
way OF price. A few weeks ago sen
timent was pretty generally in favor
of the operators. But It has changed

STOLE HIS WIFE, FOUR CHILL
DREN AND ALL HIS MONEY

Pensacola, Sept. 4.-Claiming
that a man named Rice had chloro-
formed him, stolen his wife, four Of
his seven children and 1929, e. S.
Gilmore, resident of West Pensa-
cola, telephoncd the sheritl's Office
early Monday morning asking that
the sheriff use his best efforts to
locate Rice and recover the money
and children. Sheriff Ellis and his
deputies are investigating the mat
ter but had not located him up to
noon. Gilmore stated in his tclc-
phone message that one of the chill
dren who was taken was sick, and
that the youngest Of his children
were the ones who were taken.
According to TIE story told to
Chief Deputy Sheriff Hartslield by
Gilmore, Rice was an Englishman
who came to Pensacola some time
ago on a ship. Gilmore said that
he employed Rice to work around
the place but some time ago ran him
away because he thought he was be-
coming too familiar with his wife.
Gilmore said that after he fired Rice
the latter went to Bluff Springs and
was employed by a man named Geo.
Taplan.
Monday night Gilmore said that
he retired at about o'clock and
when he woke up the next morning
his wife was gone. He said that he
was positive that he had been chlor-
oformed because he smelled the drug
in the room as soon as he awakened.
After investigating he found that
not only 1929 and his wife, but four
of his children were gone, leaving
him only three, as he had seven.
