The Wyoming Tribune for September 20, 1916: Villa in Chihuahua
World War One in the East took the big headline for Cheyenne's other newspaper, but Villa in Chihuahua showed up as well, a couple of days after the other Cheyenne newspaper reported on the raid. This report had a different character, however.
Oil also showed up on the front page, as did a population predication, not the largest from the state's early history, that shows that it was made during a booming economy. A horse at the sold at auction was celebrated at the Natrona County Fair.
