"Died with his boots on" and an encounter with Buffalo Bill Cody...

Item # 726727
January 15, 1884
ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Jan. 15, 1884  Page 3 has a classic article  from the Old West with over half a column taken up with: "DIED WITH HIS BOOTS ON" "Tragic Incidents in the Life of a Typical Nebraska Cowboy". Within the article is a great report noting; "...At another time he was throwing dice with Buffalo Bill in Dave Perry's saloon in North Platte when some dispute arose between them...The party stepped to the bar & took beer. When Buffalo Bill had drank his beer, instead of setting the glass down he threw it at Hamlin, just missing his head..." with much more on the physical encounter between Buffalo Bill and J. J. Hamlin.
Rare to find articles with mention of Buffalo Bill Cody. Twelve pages, very nice condition.
