* Lost Creek No. 2 coal mine explosion

The top of the front page has a two column headline: "FIFTY-FIVE MINERS ARE IN DEADLY PERIL" with subhead. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 6 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, a few small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
