Salazar Apologizes.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 9, 1912:
Rebel Leader Sorry His Men Fired on American Soldiers.
    HACHITA, N. M. Sept. 8.— Conferences between United States Army officers and the Mexican rebel leader, Inez Salazar, took place to-day on the border about fifty miles southwest of here.
    Salazar apologized for the incident of a few days ago, when men of his command crossed the line and fired on American soldiers on patrol duty. Salazar, in the absence of Gen. Pascual Orozco, seems to be in full command of the 400 rebels who stretch along the border in the direction of Douglas, Ariz. It is believed, however, that Orozco is remaining in the background a few miles in the interior.
    Salazar told the officers that he intended to move along the border and take Cananea.
