Killings Inflame Northern Mexico.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 24, 1913:
Sonora Discusses Plan of Revolt — Regular Troops Resent Madero's Death.
YET SOME SEE GOOD IN IT
As Necessary as the Execution of Maximilian, One Leader Holds — Juarez  Garrison Quiet.
    HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mexico. Feb. 23.— Inflamed by the killing of Madero and Suarez, whose cause they had espoused, members of the Sonora State Congress assembled here to-day for a special session to-morrow to decide whether they shall formally declare the State in rebellion against Gen. Victoriano Huerta, the provisional President of Mexico.
    Intense excitement prevailed. Many of the Congressmen attended a secret session to-night, after which it seemed apparent that Sonora would not be declared a rebel State without opposition, but it was said by some that the State would surely refuse to fall into line behind Huerta and Diaz if Huerta had appointed as provisional Governor Manuel Masacrenas, Jr., a former follower of Salazar, who is cordially hated by Sonorans.
    Antonio Rojas, a rebel leader, has appeared with a body of northern insurrectos, avowedly with the intention of aiding those who want Sonora to secede from the Mexican Republic. Rojas, it is understood, advocated the establishment of a new republic comprising Sonora and Chihuahua.
