THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 2, 1925 

* Floyd Collins becomes trapped (1st report)

The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Landslide Traps a Kentucky Cave Owner; 200 Men Work Vainly 36 Hours to Free Him". (see) First report coverage on cave explorer, Floyd Collins, becoming trapped in a narrow crawl way within the Sand Cave at the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 pages, light toning, a few binding slits along the spine, otherwise very nice.
