Ricardo had missed, and the miscre-
ant was doubtless wen away by this

Law looked only briefly at the grue-
some results Of his Workmanship,
then he turned back to the body Of his
beloved mare. Ricardo noticed at

Ranger knelt beside the dead thor

OF BIaze's enemies had grown fat In
prosecuting their feuds, but this was
a subject which the elder man inva-
riably found embarrassing, and now
he said:

Don Ricardo Guzman was an Amerl-

SELLING COAL
BELOW FIGURES
Of Government
Wagon Mines at Brazil Una
bic to Market Output
Screened Block at 50.

BRAZIL, Ind, Dec. 18.-Brazil is
confronted with peculiar coal situa-
ton. Though other cities OF the state
have q coal famine, coal Is so plenti-
full here that 1t is selling at a price
below that set by the government The
situation arises from the order OF the
fuel administrator to the railroads not
to supply flats to the so-called wagon
mines. Being unable to obtain cars.
other than box cars, which can not be
loaded profitably, the wagon mines de-
/ pend entirely on local trade to sell
their coal and there are SO many OF
them that the supply exceeds the de-
mand. Small coal operators are ap.
pealing for the card order 20 be re-
scinded SO their surplus coal can be
sent to other communities to add to
the general supply. @ ''' "'F-
The county commissioners last Sat.
urday contracted for 100 tons OF the
best screened block coal at 50 ton
at the mine. This is 40 cents below
the price set by the government.
Screenings are known to have been
delivered in Brazil at 81 a ton last
week. The average price Of best block
coal is 81 a ton, delivered.
T.. Garfield Johnson, fuel administra-
tor, said that he was besieged by the
small coal operators last week 70 help
them sell their product. The extreme
cold weather and the snow and Ice COW
cred tracks have greatly reduced the
engine power Of the coal carrying
roads. The engines that pulled sew
enty cars during mild weather now do
well to pull seventeen cars. The TACT
that the engines were not able. to
keep the coal moving caused the mines
to be idle several days in the last two
weeks, and the Christians pay OF the
miners will not be SO abnormally large
as anticipated.
Passenger Trains Taken OF.
To put more engines and crews to
hauling coal, the Chicago & Eastern
