This 20 page newspaper has a small one column headline on the front page: "25 MEN ENTOMBED BY MINE EXPLOSION"

A very small but 1st report on the Yukon Pocahontas Coal Company explosion at the #2 mine near Welch, West Virginia.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. A few tiny binding holes along the spine, otherwise in good condition.
