The front page has two column headings: "58 Die in Chicago Hotel Fire; 200 Hurt by Flames, Smoke" "Panic Sweeps 22-Story LaSalle--Most of Victims Suffocated--Many Jump Into Nets or Are Rescued by Ladders" First report coverage continues on the back page with photo of the aftermath.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
