T he story, a fte r review ing the at tack on V iesca tells of reported a t tem p ts to rob the pay train of the M exican C entral railroad, and says th at the c o u n tty around T o rreo n which is so closely settled th a t th ere are sta tio n s about every four kilo m eters, is sw arm ing w ith arm ed men, w ho appear at the railroad stations w ith guns and c artrid g e belts.

T h e incendiaries also p ro bably selected T o rreo n for invasion because they considered it a rich city to loot. A m ong the r e p o rts th a t we have heard is one w hich says th at about 4000 arm ed m en, n e a r ly all of whpm are in h ab itan ts of ranches, are said to have passed H ornos. in the state of C oahuila, on the C oahuila & Pacific railroad, ^bout 65 k ilom eters from T o rreo n . “ W h eth er the m ovem ent is directed again st the g overnm ent of C oahuila o r again st the federal governm ent, no one is able to say.
