Chase Orozco's Men Along The Border.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 18, 1912:
Federal Cavalry in Hot Pursuit, While Americans Try to Prevent Crossing.
MANY WILL BE CORNERED
Case of Col. Orozco Puzzles, but Murder Is Charged to Him in the Extradition Proceedings.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.— Reports from the Mexican frontier to-day indicate that the rebels in Northern Mexico are badly demoralized. They have fled out of San Francisco, a suburb of Ojinaga, and Gen. Aubert, a Federal leader, is pursuing them with cavalry from the south, while Gen. Steever on the American side is making every effort to parallel their flight and prevent them from seeking refuge in the United States. If Gen. Steever's efforts succeed, a large number of rebels will be cornered.
