I've been going through old newspaper articles recently collecting material for a forthcoming book that looks at Cardiff during the Great War of 1914 - 1918, and I came across this article from a January 1917 issue of the South Wales Echo that reports on the death of Buffalo Bill AKA William Cody.
Cody died of liver failure on Jan 10th 1917, just a few months before his beloved America would enter the First World War.
As a writer of western novels I found the article particularly interesting and I know many readers of this blog are also interested in the western in both fact and fiction. And so I've scanned the image and posted it here - click on the image for a larger and easier to read article.

That would be Scott county, IOWA, about 10 miles south from where I'm a sitting. Yee-haw!
