Twenty Texas Rangers were sent here today as a precautionary measure in the event of an arrest as the result of the killing of Grady Skipworth, 19, and an attack on hia young woman companion. The young woman, who was not seriousy injured when her body struck a tree after her assail ant threw her over a cliff, accused an unidentified negro. Feeling was intense here last night. Skipworth was jobbed first and then shot, the young woman said, after which the negro turned his attentions to her. No arrest was made here, but it was reported from Fort Worth that a negro had been arrested there in connection with the case. The local national guard company was called out by the mayor, but Governor Neff announced the situa tion did not warrant use of state troops, and his order directing the Rangers to take charge superseded the mayor's act in placing the guardsmen on duty. COAL OPERATORS HAVE NOT GOUGED PUBLIC WITH HIGH PRICES Coal Said To Be Selling West At Prices Under Last Year. In WARM AUTUMN CAUSE. Domestic Consumers Have Held Off Market And De mand Is Slim. ClUCACO, Nov. J. (By the Asm) ciated 1'iess.) Expectation that some coal operators would recoup their losses in the recent coal strike through in creased prices, a belief given wide pub licity at the end of the strike when one or two operators were quoted to tliat effect, has failed to materialize, aecord- iug to a survey, of fuel conditions in mid j die Western stales. ' The wide publicity, combined with an I unusually warm autumn, discouraged) buying by domestic; consumers to siieh (in extent that there ha been a noticeable drop in prices in many states. This in particularly noted in those coal produc- ing areas where ireigJH rates lor short hauls an not a major factor in settling the retail prices. Typical of the general trend, accord ing to UoU'it Medill, state fuel adminis trator of Illinois, are jiiices at the cen tral Illinois mines. Immediately alter the strike the operators quoted screen ings, tlnir lowest grade coal, at from .'I.-.") to .:i.7." at the pit mouth. Last week central Illinois .screenings were of fered as low as fl.iiil and in spite of tho reduction the mines are unable to book enough orders to average fifty per cent production. similar price reductions are reported from several states. In Kansas dealers are selling coal at one to two dollars under last year's prices. Imtiana, Mis- i.-outi and other states report lower prices.
