We're looking at, I think, a morning newspaper now. The Wyoming newspaper archive lacked the public domain copy Casper evening paper I was posting for 1916, but it will be back tomorrow night.
The interesting thing here is that quite a few Wyoming papers for this date, including a Casper morning paper, do not have Punitive Expedition entries for this date. I was curious of the story was just off the front page, but they're also smaller papers that may have simply been running all local news.
Also of interest is the cartoon on the price of gasoline. Obviously it must have been of real concern to make the front page, but it's something we don't think much about, in the context of 1916, now. That gasoline would be expensive in the context of a world war is not surprising.
