Prices Creek very conveniently
flows between the north and south
side of Snug Harbor. This gives
ample bathing beach facilities, as well
as harbor for boats. There are two
public docks and private one or

runners brought messages early to-
day to General Villa. from Generals
Benavides and Hernandez, who ere
pursuing General Refugio Nelasco's
Federal army. and the great band Of
civilian refugees in its train, but the
nature of the dispatches has not been
made public.
Il is now becoming apparent that
the exodus from Torreon began on
the night of the evacuation of Gomez
Palaeio by General Velasco. The
Federal army, by its strong defense
Of Gomez Palacio, caused Villa to
call upon Generals Benavides and
Herrera, who we're already in possess
sion OF the eastern and southern por-
tions OF the city Of Torreon, to rein
force the Constitutionalist army at
tacking Gomez Palacio. The with
drawal Of these troops to Gomez
Palacio gave General Velasco the
opening he decided, as the eastern
and southern portions Of the city
we're practically left unguarded. ana
the railroads leading to Saltillo and
the south were left unprotected.
