Garfield head of the fuel commission announced today that his commission is working out plan by which the consumer instead of the mddeman will get the benefit of the mini mum mine mouth price of coal already established
 It is said that thus far there has been no reduction
 the cost of coal to the consumers on account of the ac ton of the government in forcing reduction in the cost of coal at the mine mouth The mddemen have been able to purchase their supply cheaper but they have sold 1t at the same old price It is to remdy this condition that Dr. Garfield says his commission is making it's plans

MARSHAL DIES
 FROM WOUNDS

Night Marshal Charles H. Wiley, who was shot Tuesday afternoon by Guy T. Dority, the man who ran amuck at the Hotel Overland, died this morning at five o'clock in the Seward hospital
 Wiley had been conscious almost up to the time of his death and it was at first thought that his life could be saved but turn for the worse yester- day afternoon proved there was little chance and from about eight o'clock last evening he gradually got weaker and death followed this morning.
 Charles H. Wiley was 46 years of age, his place of birth not being learn ed at this time but his mother and a widowed sister live at Los Bonas, Cal- ifornia. Previous to coming to Sew ard he was employed with the Grand Trunk system at Fort George, from which place he went to Los Bonas and established a home for his mother and sister
 Wiley came to Seward at the be- ginning of construction of the govern ment railroad for whom he worked up to the time he was engaged by the city as night marshal in April of this year.
 "Cbarey." as he was familiarity known, was a man who used good judgment in his work, inasmuch as he was neither rough nor overbearing, but instead always gave his man a chance, but if the chance or warning went m- needed he did his duty as was re- quired of him.
 He was of powerful build, man whose place will be hard to fll and his untimeIy death and the manner in which it came is a shock to the com munitv. Always he was of the be-  lief that it was his duty to protect others and in its fulfIment he knew no fear and for danger he cared less when he thought it was for the wei fare of others. He went to his death doing his duty" which he thought was right and just.
 The body has been prepared for burial but will be held until word is received from his relatives, when in all probability it will be shipped to Los Banos for interment
