Iorreon Falls After Week Of
Continuous Fighting.
FEDERAL LOSSES ARE HEAVY
Their Casualties Estimated at One
Thousand Killed and Twenty.
five Hundred Wounded.

Torreon, Mex, April 4.-Tcrreon
has fallen.
The last soldier of General Refugio
Velasco's magnificent army of 10000
is either killed, wounded, captured or
in flight. The Constitutionalst army
of General Francisco Villa, one time
bandit, is in undisturbed possession
of Northern Mexico.
The campaign against Mexico City,
the capital, has already begun with
the preparations that are being made
for march on Monterey and Saltillo.
These two cities are the greatest OBJ
stacles to the rebels in their cam
paign that will now be waged with
Mexico City as the objective point :
Although the Constitutionalists have
been in possession of the greater por-
ton of Torreon since Tuesday after
noon, General Villa would not permit
the announcement of the capture un-
til all street fighting had ceased and
the resistance of the garrison had
been absolutely brought to an end
General Velasco, the federal COM
mander, with a comparatively small
bodyguard, escaped from Canyon del
Guarache,' where he had been en-
trenched since Tuesday. A small de-
tachment of cavalry was rushed in
pursuit by Villa. The federals who
escaped constituted comparatively
small band.
Fighting Lasted Week.
Fighting for the possession of Tor
reon has been almost continuous
since last Saturday night. The fed
eral troops offered most desperate
resistance, astonishing the Constitu-
tionalists by the ferocity of their de.
tense. It is learned that they would
have surrendered long ago, but their
officers had told them that if taken
by the rebels they would be tortured
in most cruel manner before being
put to death. This nerved them to
the point Of desperation and account
ed for their fierce defense.
1, At first Villa attempted assaults on
the strong federal positions in day
light, butt these proved costly, so the
days were spent in cannonading and
the nights In assaults.
Positions were taken and lost time
and again. Several night attacks
sent the federals scurrying from
strong positions, but at daybreak the
captors would be compelled to aban.
don them by the strength and &C
curacy of the enemy's artillery fire,
much of which is said to have been
directed by French and German gun.
ners.
Losses have not been compiled, but
roughly General Villa estimates his
own losses at 500 killed and 1900
wounded, and the federal loss at 1000
dead and $500 wounded, with an un.
known number of prisoners

Penning's Surprise Plum.

The "Surprise Plum' which was
originated by Martin Penning of High
Land Fruit Garden has been attracting
considerable attention among horti-
.culturalists again. Prof. Leroy Cady
OF St. Paul says of it: ''The Surprise
Plum stands alone in quality among
Minnesota varieties. 1t ranks with
the finest plums grown anywhere in
the United States" Mr.. Penning on
being asked about his product ex-
planned that he originated the plum in
1878. He was testing the fruit of his
experiment and was most agreeably
surprised to find it so toothsome. He
therefore bestowed upon it the name
Surprise" M. Penning states that
the Surprise plum does best on rather
light, sandy soil. Heavy soil is good
for the Terry, Stoddard and Wyant
varieties but the Surprise on heavy
soil grows too much to wood and is
not productive. Mr.. Pennipg has two
varieties, his No. 2 and No. 8 Seed
Hngs, which are very productive on
heavy SOIL, He recommends his Mo-.
2 as being an A. canning fruit with. 8
small pit and fine flavor. The No. 8
10 about "a large as the Terry.
q Mr.. Penning spends much time each
year working among his fruit trees
and certainly no plums could be finer
than the fruit Of his orchard. Just to
think of Thorn makes one long for the
summer to hurry by SO plums will be
ripe again.
