gaging the defending forces within and
upon the bui. dings. Another hour and
the federals retreated to the Quartet
where the hottest fight of the battle
took place. Fighting from the front,
gaining ground foo by foot, the rebels
finally drove the federaIs back again
toward Tcrreon.
But so heavy had the firing been.
so many were the shells that burst in
the Quartet that scarcely had it been
occupied by the pursuing rebels, than
it caught fire and the conquerors were
forced to abandon it. The federals
retreated in order, however keeping up
an insistant firing as they W ere beaten

rebels advanced they rushed forward
over the bodies of the federal dead
and wounded.
General Villa reiterated his conf
