The heavy roar of the gale overhead struck Lucy with new and torturing dread. Sage King once in his life was running away, bridleless, and behind him there was fire on the wings of the wind. For the first time in his experience Bostil found that horse-trading palled upon him. This trip to Durango was a failure. Something was wrong.
* Chihuahua, Durango, and Sinaloa eventually were also included in the scheme. A colony of armed Confederates, inimical to the Federal government of the United States, established between its dominions and the heart of the Mexican empire, and backed by France, Austria, and Belgium, must form a formidable bulwark in case of trouble between Mexico and its Northern neighbor.
They were the Durango dragoons smart troops enough to all appearance, capitally mounted and equipped, and armed with carbines and sabres.
These had to repair the railroad as they went. Torreon was being held by about one thousand Federal soldiers. Villa was well informed of these movements, and also of the fact that, in their anxiety to take Durango, a Federal force of about 800 men, under General Alvirez, was to leave Torreon before the arrival of the Saltillo and Zacatecas columns.
Nas Ta Bega said he would take the horses to water and feed and then return. There were indications that Stonebridge might experience some of the excitement and perhaps violence common to towns like Monticello and Durango. There was only one saloon in Stonebridge, and it was full of roystering cowboys and horse-wranglers.
She thought of him lying with a broken leg, helpless, while his faithful beasts pawed the ground and whinnied their distress. She spoke of these things once or twice, but her father merely smiled.

It was felt that outsiders and 'specially ladies oughtn't to get no such treatment; and so they had a spring house-cleaning after what I reckon was the worst winter a town ever went through and Durango was sobered right down. Palomitas went along the same trail, and took the same pass over the divide.
Just to draw a card anywheres from the pack there was Durango. What made a clean town of Durango was that woman getting killed in bed in her tent the boys being rumpussing around, same as usual, and a shot just happening her way and taking her.
He had not been sent for, he had not sent word; he did not know why he had come. He had been in the Durango country when the mood had struck him, and without waiting to debate the wisdom of the move he had ridden in to headquarters, secured his time, and well, here he was. He had pondered much in an effort to account for the whim, carefully considering all its phases, and he was still uncertain.
In the state of Durango, large masses of the best magnetic iron ore are found, which at some future day will supply the material for a great and useful industry. Other iron mines exist, and some have been utilized to a limited extent. Coal is found in abundance, notably in the states of Oaxaca, Sonora, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila.
