The Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition completed its exploration of the River of Doubt by reuniting with a relief party led by Lt. Antonio Pyrineus. The meeting had been prearranged.
Three men died during the expedition, and Roosevelt had come very close to doing so. His health never recovered, although he'd very soon be agitating for an American entry into World War One, and seeking appointment to a volunteer division for that effort.
The Cheyenne paper was predicting that was going to break out at any moment, but I mostly put this issue up for the interesting cereal and flour advertisement.
It is interesting that "The Girl I Left Behind Me" was still a popular military tune, apparently, at the time.
Post Toasties getting in the war mood, however, is a classic.
Apparently Cheyenne had its own brand of flour at the time.
