OF Col. Cano were engaged in battle al
4:30 Monday afternoon with bandits
led by Villa. in Numiquipa. according
to . dispatch received by Gen. Gavin,

The result Of the fighting was not
decided at the time Of the receipt Of
the dispatch. Namiquipa is in the dis
trict Of Guerrero. state Of chihuahua
Col. Cano is in command OF force
of>9pO cavalry and came In contact
two Gays ago at FL Vale with vilistas

Funston announced the positions Of
three columns of the expedtionary
force as follows: The first moving
southwark from Casas Grandes toward
Babricora: the second moving south
east towards Ell Vale. and the third
towards Carmen.
Villa WAS reported to have been de
feated by Carranza troops at Cruces
and to be ON his way north towards
Ell Vale.
A feature Of the gravest importance
was injected into the border situation
by substantial confirmation OF the nu'
merous reports received last week
that the Carranzistas not only were
failing to cooperate with the Amer
can troops but In certain instances al
least actually were withdrawing from
the field Of operations. The Assoc'
ated Press learned on unquestionaole
authority that the troops of the &c

The sixth annual show of the South County Poultry and Pet Stock asso- citation opened Thursday at the state armory in Westerly. Although the prize list is fully up to the standard, there are not as many birds in con- petition as at some of the former shows, but there are many of the high est grade in the several classes. There are less than 400 prize competitors, and every one of them have been carefully prepared by their owners for this show, and as a result it is a show Of quality rather than quantity. Aside from the exhibitors and officials of the show, there was a light attendance at the opening, which is perhaps in the main due to the unfavorable weather conditions All arrangements for the show are on the modern and approved standard, and the courteous officials are doing their best to make this show big success. The judges com menced their work early and expect to complete the task of selecting the prize winners in all classes by noon of Fri day. These awards were announced:
