 The CITIZEN was premature in stating that Captain F. E. Pierce has asked President Cleveland to relieve hin from the position of netting Indian agent at San Carlos.

The position is an onerous one and the cause of constant anxiety on the part of the agent who discharges his trust as faith fully as Capt. Pierce, the present. incum- bent, has done.
