The almost certain war with Mexico loomed large. Locally, the problem was that the Wyoming National Guard was under strength and couldn't be mobilized until recruiting solved the problem. Interestingly, this edition reported that the European Allies were seeking to keep a war from breaking out, which certainly would have been in their interest, and that they suspected Germany wanted war to erupt, which was in fact true.
The Judge Mentzer mentioned in this article was either the Cheyenne lawyer or his father who was a National Gaurdsmen and who died of a stroke or severe heart attack some years later during a long ride during a Guard Annual Training.
