A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

600 More To Aid Huerta.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 4, 1913:
Gen. Ojeda Has Two Alleged Rebels Put to Death.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 3.—Gen. Ojedo of the Agua Prieta garrison received word to-day from Gen. Inez Salazar that 600 former rebel troops under Col. Magon would arrive in Agua Prieta to-morrow to join the garrison in support of Huerta.
The Sergeant in charge of the Mexican Federal garrison of Agua Prieta and Felipe Luna were executed in Agua Prieta yesterday on an order by Gen. Ojeda, on charges of conspiracy against the Huerta regime.
