This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 2 has an article headed: "Lynch Law In Iowa" "Patrick Hand Hanged in the Engine House at Lyons" See images for text here.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, minor irregularity along spine, very nice condition.
