Of LEGAL OFFICER
INTERESTING OPINION BY AT
TORNEY GENERAL IN ANSWER
70 QUERY AS no DEFINITION
or REASONABLE LIMITS or
THE SAME nm NEW
MEXICO.

Attorney General Frank w. Clancy
was called upon today To define the
reasonable limits Of a village on New
Mexico. After finding two decisions
on the question BIZ the district court
of The Second judicial district. which
are at variance with each other and
Alternating the fact that the SUI
preme court has never passed on the.
matter. hes wrote the inquirer AS fol.
lows:
know Of no way that we can de
fine Village within the meaning of
the statute with any degree Of accur-
d but X seems tof me that q village
should only include those houses
which are assembled III the same
neighborhood, and could not be ex-
banded To include remote and lsolat
ga houses III the same general see-
ton Of the country.
The inquiry was made by Tomas
AtenGio. Or Dixon, N. M. III connec-
ton with tile statute which provides
that no licenses shall be granted for
the sale OF liquors in any place IN
New Mexico except within the limits
of d city. town on village containing
AT least 100 inhabitants. Concernin6
the two court decisions defining the
limits Of a Village. Attorney General
Clancy said:
There has been no decision OF the
supreme court as To the meaning Of
themord village I'M this state. but In
the district court 0f the Second dis
trict there have been, to- my kn0wl-
edge. two cases where the question
arose as To what was meant BY this
word. The court held. III substance,
that d village was amy settlement or
collection Of houses where people
lived together. and that II might
cover a considerable amount Or
country. IN that particular raae a
man had set no q saloon near the
coal town Of Clarkville, in Mckinley
county. ClarhYille belonged to the
coal company which had laid out d
townsite, ana this saloon was quite q
distance from the last house ON the
land owned by the coal company, but
there was still another house farther
away from the coal company's land
than the saloon. and the court held
that this saloon was within the limits
N the village because 1t was not the
last house Of that village.
I'm another case in the same court
a man was seeking to obtain a lic-
ense to sell liquor lat a place called
Thorean, at which place there were
not one hundred inhabitants, and his

When the pioneers returned after a fierce I&y- h l..-~ IL =. them as prisoners an officer and fifty men. It is supposed that the Ger mans here had found the forgotten tunnels of a medieval monastery and had added auxiliary ones to suit their own purpose.
 All observers agree that of late the Germans. when left in isolated strong points with orders to hold fast to the death. are less inclined than for merly to obey tn cir instructions to the letter. An officer pf the second Prus- sian guards reserve division. who was captured yesterday, was in a state of exceptional disgust and expressed himself freely.

My battalion was always put in the worst possible position. Some of my men. who were given. Rexa au- tomatic rifles, threw them down with out waiting to fire when the British charged. Machine gun squads and last ditch parties are left to stick in face of the British guns and British charges with the assurance that If they stick 1t a counter-attack will rescue them but the counter-attacks fail to materialize as they did at first. I gave in, had had enough"
 However, the officers of the British staff spoke of this man in their dis passionate way as a man with a griev- ance and paid tribute to the stub born bravery of the Germans in the Sollern redouIbt where he was taken.
 The British spent today in taking ground in a number of smaller at tacks in order to rectify their new line.l

VILLA BANDITS,
 NEAR US. LINE,
 HOLD UP TRAINS

Field Headquarters, American Pun itive Expedition in Mexico. Sept. 27, by Radio to Columbus, N. M., Sept. 2S Francisco Villa with 60U men was at Santa Clara ranch, 30 miles east of Namiquipa, on Sept. 22, for the inn mediate purpose of capturing trains near Laguna and with the idea of striking north and invading Texas in the vicinity of Fabens, according to the latest and most detailed report of the bandit leaders movements receiv- ed tonight at field headquarters.
 The following leading adherents are said to be with Villa: Jose Inez Sal agar, Martin Lopez, three Murga brothers, Nicolas Fernandez.
 Villa himself is said to be unable to walk without a crutch or to put his right foot on the ground. The horses in his band are reported to be in poor condition and his followers are said to be in rags.
 The American eXpeditionary head quarters declined to vouch for the authenticity of the reports, but it is believed possible Villa might enter the Santa Clara country for the pur- pose of recruiting or securing a base from which he could attack trains and obtain supplies.
 The report makes no mention of a pursuing force, but the fact that Car ranza troops are moving towards that part of Chihuahua is known at head quarters.
 Investigation today failed to sub stantiate a report that a fight oc- cured last night at San Luis ranch, 40 miles east of the American head quarters.
