TINY TOTS HADFUN
WITH MR.. BARRINGER

d. n. Barringer, Jr., the liv-
eryman, is an accommodating cuss.
The other day he noticed two
little girls, probably 8 and 8
years Of age, making an appar-
entity frantic effort to drive a
calf somewhere.
Evidently the little girls were
having trouble. So, Rarringer
doffs his coat and starts in pur-

BaTFinger, almost out OF Wlnd,

to the liveryman that he didn't
know where the girls were driy-

GOVERNOR CURRY Will
STAND BY THE BOARD
Chief Executive Spent Mondoy in
Alomogordo Investigating
Blind School Affairs.

Gov. George Curry was in the
city Monday. He met with the
board of regents of the New
Mexico Blind asylum and made
an inspection of the building.
When asked by the News il
he had anything to say regard
ing the coming trial of R. H.
Pierce and its possible bearing
upon the institution, the gov
ernor said:
Il met with the board of re-
gents today and the Pierce mat
ter was discussed. l am of the
opinion that the board is CON-
posed of good, honorable men
and will back them up in this OF
any other matter. l am of the
opinion that they have done
their duty in the matter.
THE prosecution of Mr.. Pierce
is up to the courts. Last fall
when Mr.. Pierce became mixed
up in this affair ! removed him
from the board. The statement
that he resigned is untrue.
II will state, however, that if
the district attorney of the coun-
ty in which Mr.. Pierce is to be
prosecuted, should ask it, l will
direct the attorney general to
assist in the prosecution. lnas-
much as the alleged misconduct
of Mr.. Pierce occurred in Albu-
querque, and not in or near the
school, do not see how it could
iniure the institution in the
least.
