Great Bravery In Torreon


tility Of the rebel cannon fire Wednes-
day night a desperate attack was made
at midnight, the soldiers on foot with
hand bombs. The corral was assaulted
eight times, CerrO de Ia Pila seven
times, and the rebels were beaten back
each time.
The Attack on TorreOn.
BenaV1des and the brigada Villa I'M
der Jose Rodriguez attacked Torreon
proper on the east and also Gomez
PalaciO. They secured a few unim-
pOrtant positions in TOrreOn but aban-
doned them in the morning.
Herrera and COntreras then took
Lerdo by assault. Urbina and Ortega
attacked Gomez proper again and bore
the brunt of the fighting at the corral
and Cerro.
At dawn the "ConstitutionaIists"
withdrew with frightful losses, having
captured four machine guns.
They rested Thursday and ate all day.
New ammunition for cannon came up
and heavy BON bardment Of Gomez en-
sued. At midnight another assault was
begun, but the federals had quietly
been evacUating Gomez all day and
nobody was there when the rebels ar
rived except a few lOOting parties.
Rebels Loot Town.
The entry Of the "COnstitutiOnaIist
army into Gomez and the looting by
the rebels began. The federals from
the hills around TOrreon shelled the
town a few minutes but the rebel can

soon stopped.
The first combined assault on Tor
reOn itself began Saturday afternoon,
after Villas demand for its surrender,
sent through British vice consul Cum
mings, had been unanswered.
The losses to the rebel army in the
five days fighting are estimated at
close to $500 killed and wounded.
Gen. Maxine Garcia was badly
wounded, also Trinidad Rodriguez
The federals lost Gems. Pena, Gear
rama and Anaya, and Col. Victor
Huerta, son of president.
VeIascO Reported Mad.
Gen. VelascO, the federal cOmman-
der, is reported by the prisoners to
have gone mad in the trenches and to
be held in TOrreon under a heavy
guard by his own army.
Five hundred federals deserted to
the rebels and hundreds more are
reported to be struggling out along
the cut railway lines It is impOssi-
bic for the federals to leave TOrreon
or to get reinforcements in. The rail-
ways are cut for 20 miles
The trapped federals are reported
to be making a last desperate stand
in the streets. No quarter is shown
on either side SO far.
The flower Of Huerta's army was cut
to pieces and Villa expects the fail
of TOrreOn to be but a matter of a few
hours only.

FIRE BURNS The
GRAIN ELEVATOR



the central department arrived. The
firemen fought the fire from the in.
side of the building but were soon
driven out by the downward course OF
the flames. The building itself being
over u years old, the lumber was very
dry The fire completely destroyed II
in two hours and 40 minutes
There was little hope Of saving the
elevator, for, in spite Of the continuous
streams Of water, the fire rapidly
spread to the lower part of the build
ing. Chief Armstrong then turned al
most his entire attention to saving the
lumber yard. When the building Tell
il hurled sparks and burning timber
into the stacks of lumber. The ire
men redOubled their efforts 1t is
probably due to the fact that the lum-
Der was well soaked with water that
prevented a general fire breaking out
when this occurred
A pumping plant in a brick building
almost adjoining the elevator on the
east was not injured, nor was a Mex
lean shack which separated from the
elevator on the west side by only
few feet
Many Fires There Before.
A lumber car standing on track
within q few feet of the elevator
caught fire. This was switched to an
other part of the yard, where it was
extinguished, not, however, before the
floor of the car was almost destroyed.
Several stacks Of lumber nearest the
elevator were badly scOrched and
charred and a quantity of lumber was
practically ruined.
The fire that destroyed the elevator
was the fifth that has occurred in the
building in the past four months. The
building itself has been considered a
menace.
The grain elevator was built in 1902
by J. ROSenbaum Grain company, Of
Chicago, at a cost of approximately
S25, 900 1t was operated by that com
pany until 1910. Claiborne Adams
was in charge as manager
Idle For Three Years.
In 1910 the builders of the elevator
sold out to the Sunset Grain and Ele-
vator company which operated the
elevator until about three years ago,
when it was closed and practically
abandoned Tramps are credited with
often spending the nights in the place
At least one of the several fires that
had occurred in the elevator prior to
the Tuesday morning fire, was blamed
on tramps and cigarets. The last fire
in the elevator. about n month ago,
was credited to spontaneous COM
bustiOn. Like the fire that destroyed
the elevator, the fire at that time
broke out in the top of the elevator
The central firemen were able to save
the building at that time.
The exact cause of the fire is not
known. but it is believed that tramps
had something to do with it. Either
that or spontaneous combustion.

Rebels Whipped Twice.
A tale of rebel reverses and rebel
luck was brought here last night from
the front by John Reed, correspondent
of the New York World, and Robert
DOrman, a photographer.
Their stories are the first unbiased
accounts of eyewitnesses since the at
tack on Gomez PalaciO, Lerdo and Tor
reon began. They left the front Satur-
day afternoon, at which time they es-
timated that the rebel loss was 1000 in
killed and wounded

erals didn't have the good sense to
follow up their advantage, and Villa
returned to the attack after reorganiz-
ing, and ultimately occupied the city.
We were whipped right there, but We

and bad leg. The prisoners told US

him under restraint
"Our attack on Gomez Palacio was
centered on the hill known as Cerro de
Ia Pillar. 1t is precipitous, and we
made seven assaults before taking il.
The result of each of the six assaults,
which were unsuccessful, could be dis
cerned after the battle by the rings of
dead rebels. Their bodies distinctly
marked the line where they were re-
pulsed
Homemade ShrapneI Faulty.
The homemade shrapnel of the reb-
els had much to do with the early re-
pulses at Gomez Palacio. Only about
one in so exploded.

light was to Join the assaults on foot

Rebels Thrown Back.
The entire available federal force
was hurled into Gomez and threw the
rebels back about dawn, retaking the
positions with great slaughter.
Rebel artillery came up and opened
fire on the town. The rebel home made

ENDURANCE OF MEXICANS
SURPRISES U. $. OFFICERS

Washington, D. C., March S1.-The
endurance of the raw and undisciplined
Mexican troops, both rebels and fed
erals, in the battle at TOrreOn is sur
prisiHg army officers here. 1t is esti-
mated that for II days past these SOL
diers have been engaged in almost con-
slant battle with little opportunity for
sleep and practically without a COM
misariat
1t is believed that the explanation
of the almost unparalleled Obstinacy of
the attack by the rebels lies in the
knowledge that the only food and
safety lies directly behind the federals'
defences in the city of TorreOn, and
that retreat across the desert in their
rear is out of the question with a
victorious enemy in pursuit.
