MERRILL OR GRAySON?
Extraordinary Story About the Pres
ident Of the Silver City Ma
tional Bank.

New York, May 14.-Moody Merrill,
charge of grand larceny had, accord
ing to the police, entertained in Boston,
Charles J. Grayson, the mining engi-
neer who was promoting New Mexican
mining properties. Grayson died while
Merrills guest and when the latter de-
cided to go to New Mexico and take up
mining, he assumed Grayson's name. In
New York, Merrill was also known as
Grayson. He made headquarters at
the banking house of w. N. COler and
Company, w. N. Coler, Jr., said to-
day: ut seems to. me we have been
dealing with Colonel Grayson at least
Is years. Now if the story in the news
papers about his disappearance from
Boston ten years ago is correct, it
would seem to bear out the statement
that he assumed not only the name, but
the business of his dead friend.
I'VE found Colonel Grayson man to
trust and I will always trust him. He
has handled hundreds of thousands of
dollars for us, which he could have
stolen if he was so inclined. Grayson is
one of the leading financiers of the
Mr.. Coler added that he would help
the man if he could for he believed a
had been made. GraysOn has
for many years been president Of the
Silver City National Bank and is we'll
known in New Mexico.

Dear Sir: Yours of the 25th utimo

place, situated at the summit of Abo
Pass, on the Santa Fe cutoff, three
months ago existed only in the minds of
| it's promoters, the Abo Land Company.
Now it is the scene of bustlng activity
with new houses going up i'll drec
tions. Nine homesteads have been To-
Gated Immediately around the townsite
and as many more in the territory ad-
jacent in that length of time. 1t is the
purpose of the colony located here to
make Mountainair a good place to live
in. 1t may never rival Chicago as a
commercial center, but it may make
Colorado Springs hustle for supremacy
as a pleasure and health resort. 1t has
an altitude of 6,512 feet and this, tenn
pered as it is by warm southern sun
shine, makes life, in the language of
the lamented Grover ''one glad sweet
song" New Mexico is a natural sani-
occupy no small place on the map of
good places to go to for that tired
feeling"
One of the features which will attract
the better class of tourists is the alb
sence of saloons. 1t has been decided
by the company to allow no saloons,
gambling or other undesirable houses
on the townsite and as all the land ad-
iacent is occupied by those in sympathy
with this idea, the situation is pretty
we'll under control. ..,
The work of construction on the new
line is being pushed with all possible
haste. Eggleston and Matthews, camp
ed just east of the townsite, have two
miles of heavy grading work almost
completed and will move camp in few
days to their new work farther east.
Nearly all the preliminary grading
along the entire line will be finished by
July. C. H. Sharp will then bring his
steam shovel from Oklahoma, by way
of Torrance and Willard, when work
will begin on the big cut at the sum-
init. There will probably be six months
steam shovel work after which, if the
rock work in the canon is finished, it
will not be long until laying of steel
permanently will begin. Mountainair
expects one fare rate to the Fourth
Of July celebration next year.
Mrs Ralph Eggleston has gone to
Ark, for visit with her
parents.
Mrs G. Fl. Sharp has joined her hus-
band in camp and may spend the sum-
mer here.
Mrs. r. C. Manning has arrived here
from Winfield Kas., to join her hus-
band in their new home.

Clergyman Must Depend on the Honesty Of
His Congregation.

Kansas City, May 14.-The Western
Missouri court of appeals has decided
that member of church congrega-
ton is not liable in law for payment of
the pastors salary and that minis
ter of the gospel must depend upon the
good conscience of the members of his
flock for his pay, and has no hold up
on them for it. This decision was made
in the suit brought by Rev. J. H. Rifle
against the congregation of Monroe
First Baptist church of Monroe City.
Rev. Mr.. Rifle was engaged at a sal
airy of $500 year, but was not paid that
much, so he sued for the balance. The
clergyman won his case. in the trial
court, but the court of appeals reverses
that judgment.
