Among the front page articles is: "THE MORMONS" "Meeting of the Faithful--Fanaticism Running to Seed" which mentions in part: "...will be no choice made of a; successor to Brigham Young, but it is conceded...that at present the regency will be continued with John Taylor as president of the twelve apostles...".
Also: "MEXICAN INVASION" "400 Armed Outlaws" "they Hold Possession of El Paso county, Texas" "They Have Imprisoned the County Officers" "And Threaten to Massacre All the Americans" "Claim that El Paso Belongs to Mexico" and more, this report taking half a column.
The report takes over half a column, with much detail.
Four pages, a bit fragile but in nice condition.
