* Fergus Falls MN Minnesota tornado disaster
* 1st report
This 12 page newspaper has a nice six column headline on the front page: "Toll of 200 Lives Taken by Tornado", with subheads that include: "Blocks Are Razed In Business Part Of Fergus Falls" and more. See photos for text.
Other news of the day with much on World War I. Light browning with a few binding slits along the spine, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
