Battle Occupied Six Strenuous Days.
T^lie nttack 0n-T«rrmHi rtr<»|M‘r has been ('ontinuous since last
Fridav. The rebels* battle line, four mHes long, was formed like a
carpenter’s square aU»u1 Torreon. The fighting was not only in the
eity+Jiut some of the sfirtrest was on the hills west of Torreon.
The FederalsUiadJfortified these hills with rifle pits, trenches and
barbed wires. Tffe rebels, wounded charging the hills, died where
they fell of hunger and tin rat. Automobiles wrre used, for the rescue,
but they could not ascend these hills after the dead and dying
Tw ice the rebels captured the two hills.nnd lost them again All
this time the rehef lines were gradually drawing closer in upon Tor-,
reon and in the final days of the' battle the rvltels circled all sides
<.f Torreon except the Atcstt, fighHug fmm' house to house.
Fight Fiercely for Feints of Advantage.
All about the eita desperate eonflicW were on for pOsseaMon of

train* on I’oth side* flitted here and there, steaming around the cor-
ie t of some hill bi’A-ut delivering, a broadside and then off again to
some oilier points. ^i«'Federal used huge rockets, which piTeyd-
