December 07, 1883
ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Dec. 7, 1883 Likely due to its location on the edge of the Western frontier, this newspaper typically contained a wealth sensational crime reports and events from the West, much more than any found in eastern newspapers.
The top of page 2 has: "Calendar of Crime" "Middleton's Gang of Horse-Thieves Exterminated by Vigilantes" "Young Ker Enters Joliet Prison...". Page 4 has: "Cattle Stealing" "The Thieves Who Four Years Ago Stole a Thousand Cattle from the Government Under Arrest" which takes over half a column. Pg. 7 has: "Frank Rande" "A Visit to the Illinois Outlaw in Joliet Penitentiary..." which takes 1 1/2 columns. He would hang himself in the Joliet prison just 6 months later.
Twelve pages, very nice condition.
