The top of the front page has a one column heading: "DR. HIBBEN KILLED IN AUTO COLLISION; WIFE BADLY HURT" with subheads. Much more on page 7 with photo of Hibben.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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.
