The top of the front page has a one column heading: "GIGANTIC ROBBERY" with subheads. (see images) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 8 pages, a few tiny binding holes along the spine, nice condition.

Background: The 1901 Selby Smelting Works heist wasn't just a robbery; it was a near-superhuman feat of engineering and endurance that redefined the very concept of security vulnerabilities. In a display of chilling patience, a lone wolf spent six agonizing weeks hand-digging a 120-foot subterranean tunnel through solid brick and muck, eventually breaching a high-security vault to extract nearly 900 pounds of gold bullion. This wasn't a smash-and-grab—it was a grueling marathon where the thief made 14 separate round trips through a claustrophobic crawlspace to move a literal half-ton of wealth. Worth over $17 million in today’s currency, the sheer audacity of the crime forced the global financial industry to realize that no vault is truly impenetrable if an adversary has the "infinite patience" to attack from the one direction no one is watching: straight up from the earth itself.
