Classic train robbery report on the front page...
Item # 694578
September 13, 1893
THE DAILY JOURNAL, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, Sept. 13, 1893
One-third of the front page and a bit of page 2 have column heads: "MASKED BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN" " Lake Shore Express Robbed of a Vast Sum of Money in Indiana" "The Engineer Shot" "Terrible Midnight Experience of Many Passengers" "Car Blown Up with Dynamite" and several more subheads.
A classic account of a train robbery from the Old West. This is one of the lengthier, and more detailed accounts of a train robbery we have seen in a period newspaper.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the irregular spine, minor tears at margins, and minor loss at the lower spine, somewhat fragile and should be handled carefully.
