This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 2 has an article headed: "Piff, Paff, Pouff" "Three Shots Fired by Mr. May and James Gordon Bennett" and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, nice condition.
