I somehow missed Lin's post- I did use 'search' but didn't hit it because of the different name; I should have scanned this thread. My sloppiness!

My grandfather, between 1895-1905, printed newspapers in several little mining camps and towns in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico; these little papers often used filler from others or from periodicals. Here, it looks like the Dodge City paper 'borrowed' the Trinidad item.

"Cowboy, I," seems an improbable title; I wonder what title was used in the Trinidad paper. No other is mentioned in Lingenfelter and Dwyer. I don't have the Stanley and Siringo references.
