Killed At Husband's Side.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 24, 1913:
Wife of Mexican Lieutenant Dies with Him at Rebels' Hands.
    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23.— Apolonio Lopez Cruz, a young Lieutenant of volunteers, and his wife were killed to-day after they stood off a force of rebels from the car of a repair train, on which they were traveling, until their ammunition was exhausted. .
    Lieut. Cruz was taking his wife to San Luis Potosi from Tampico when 300 rebels attacked the train at Micos. The officer, assisted by his wife and a small escort, made a stout fight, but the entire party was captured, and, after being tortured, all the prisoners were put to death.
    Pascual Orozco, Jr., who recently was advanced to the rank of General of Brigade in the Mexican Army for service to the Huerta Government, is said to have begged permission to return from Northern Mexico, where he has been fighting, and go to Morelos or Guerrero to avenge the death of his father, Col. Pascual Orozco, Sr., who is reported to have been shot by the rebel leader, Gen. Emiliano Zapata, when the insurgent was forced by Federal troops to evacuate Huautla, in the State of Guerrero.
    The bodies of Col. Orozco and two other Peace Commissioners, who had been sent by the Government to parley with Zapata, are reported to have been found, riddled with bullets, when the Federals captured Huautla. Col. Orozco several times had been reported killed. Once his body was said to have been found swinging from a tree near Yautepec, Morelos.
