Torreon was little damaged by the
honbardment and fighting. but this
does not mean that the fighting was
not severe. Villa told me that the Fed
erals had lost 1000 men at least in the
campaign. more than half killed or pris-
oners. My own estimate based on the
best data ] could get would be con-
siderably smaller. Villas losses were
in the neighborhood of some 1000
wounded and 600 killed. most OF them
in the fights at Torreon and Gomez
Palacio. The Federals had about 1000,
Villa about $4,000 men.
