Fight for Favored Roof

Fight for Favored Roof
A hundred small encounters oc-
Cured intermittently in the streets or
over the possession of some favored
roof, but the roar of cannon was
almost continuous.
Both sides used armored trains.
These, with big guns mounted, would
suddenly appear around an elbow or
one of the hills, discharge q broadside
and then retire. Early in the attack
on Gomez Palacio the trains ventured
out at the same time and a lively eX-
change of shots ensued, like a naval
engagement on land.
The federals made use of huge
rockets. which were shot to a great
height, exploding in the air and letting
down hail of buckshot.
Suffer from Heat and Thirst
On the fourth day of the fight the
intense suffering from heat and thirst
was relieved by rain thought to have
been brought on by the heavy firing.
During the battle scouts brought
word that federal reinforcements from
Monterey were approaching on the
east General Herrera was sent
against them and later reported that
he had sent them scurrylng into the
hills.
The battle surged first into Torreon,
then back to the railroad yards and
three days. The federals' grew weaker
each day in their fighting. Finally
the federals evacuated to the south
and the rebels took possession of Tor
reon.
Great supplies of food, ammunition
and artillery and stores of cotton fell
into the rebels hands by the capture.
