Fled From Mexico Has a Close Call at Torreon
J C Conley, once prominent in Butte mining, recounts escape from Torreon during the battle. With four men and three women, they fled north after Mexican and federal troops clashed, noting Villa's forces at around 12,000 against 25,000 federals, and the brutal cannons, cavalry, and infantry fighting. Conley predicts Mexico City may fall within two months and U.S. recognition may follow.
