The back page has one column headings that include: "14 MINERS KILLED IN INDIANA BLAST" "Seventeen Others in Coal Shaft escape Through Debris After Violent Gas Explosion" and more. (see) First report coverage on the coal mine explosion disaster at Bicknell, Indiana. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 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. Nice condition.
