Item # 715510
October 31, 1889
THE OVERTON RECORD, Texas, Oct. 31, 1889  Overton only had one newspaper thru 1936 and this was it. It is not known how long this title existed, but Gregory's Union List of American Newspapers notes only one institution having had any issues, and it had just two dates, both of which have been deaccessioned. This is one of them.
The top of the front page has an article with column heads: "SHOT AT BOB FORD" " 'Look Out, Bob, I'm Going to Kill You.' Said Cowboy Kurry" "But the Slayer of Jesse James was Too Quick for the Gentlemen".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, minor margin wear, good condition.
