Lurking Bands of
Bandits Sighted
Along the Border
AMERICAN EXPEDITION HAS NOT
COMPLETELY REMOVED
MENACE OF ATTACK.

NAMIQUIPA, April ga (Wireless
to Columbus )-The operations OF the
American expedition have not remoy-
ed the menace from Villista bandits.
Nearly every day small bands Of BAN
dts are sighted 1t was reported that
the quest for villa continues within
narrowed limits since the Parral
clash. Many wild and contradictory
stories have been deceived. No con-
Germ is felt for the position of the ad-

The Jagged defiles and canyons in this
region are ideal hiding places for the
Villistas A band can remain undis-
covered until reconnoitering parties
stumble over them. The villistas,
however are keeping out Of harms
