eral troops in Torreon," said General
Villa today. There is no chance of
their escaping"
Reports that the Federals have
been reinforced from Saltillo were de-
MED by Villa.

Armstrong, son of Henry Armstrong of Plainfield, few believed the tale and those few soon forgot it. Later a let ter from Rhode Island said she had married and was parted from her hus- band Some twenty years ago a man, woman and little child who appeared to be refined and well do, boarded for several weeks at the old Plainfield hotel and drove often through Flat Rock district and it was reported that the woman was Martha Knowles and the man member of a prominent Norwich family. All of the Knowles family but one or two are dead and those have moved away and been for gotten by most of their old friends and that divorce case after nearly thirty years was & surprise to the few who remembered the parties.
