CHARGED WITH
ASSAULTING GIRL
r. n. Pierce, Prominent Citiz-n o. Al;
amonordo, Removed From Office
BY Governor Curry.

In connection with the recent re
moval by Governor George Curry. oi
X. H. Pierce. president of the Bank
OF A.amogordo. from the position OF
regent OF the Institute for the Blind
in Otero county. comes a story, which
il true, is horrible in the extreme. 1t
is alleged that Pierce, who is GO years
old, a man of large family, and who
has for years been a highly respected
citizen and financier Of Alamogordo
the county seat of Otero county, as
saulted one of the blind girl pupils of
the institute who was in his charge
during the Irrigation Congress in AL
buquerque and also attempted simi.
lar assault upon another blind pupil
at Ell Paso.
1t is said that the recent grand jury
investigated the affair and found a
true BILL but this cannot be verified.
At any rate, the story goes that
Pierce who is said to be worth 100000
and who has been a resident of Alamo
gordo since the beginning of that
town. has disappeared and no one
knows of his whereabouts.
w. E. Hawkins, leading attorney
of southeastern New Mexico, was ap-
pointed by Governor Curry to succeed
Pierce.
Both the relatives and friends of
Pierce and those who bring the
charges, are very anxious that the af-
fair should be thoroughly investigated
and that it should be established how
much truth there is IL the charges. In
the meantime public A'elipg runs high
in Alamogordo but al Pierce is not
about the story cannot D, gas fully in
vestigated as it ought to M
There seems to be nothing wrong
with Pierce's accounts either in the
bank with which he is connected or
as secretary and treasurer of the
board of regents of the Institute for
the Bind.

SHOWS and other untowa-d circum-

When the weather clears it is then
probable that the losses will amount
to still greater dimensions. The
weather is very cold and snow in
places on the, BraZor river and other
rivers in northern New Mexico and
southern Colorado is from five to ten
feet deep with the chances that the
snow will continue to fall
1t is one of the worst seasons that
has ever been experienced in north

sheep will be very hard on the sheep
growers of that section.

TIE DOLLAR AND The PESO
Mexican Authorities Havs Decided
That There ls a Definite Die
tlnetIon Between Them.

The question in Mexico Of what a
dollar means has recently been
authoritatively settled. The depart
ment Of finance has decided that the
word dollar shall mean the Ameri-
can gold dollar, and that when the
Mexican silver dollar is meant the
word "peso" shall be employed.
Some time ago an American resi-
dent at Tampico wrote dollars" on
a check, and the Tampico bank
cashier to whom the check was pre-
sented paid the amount in gold
values. The drawer of the check
claimed that it was his intention to
have silver paid. Litigation was
threatened, but upon investigation
the authorities decided against the
drawer Of the check. The Mexican
ruling applies to all documents

Gas a matter of cold fact, statis-

who get injured in their own homes
