October 23, 1897
THE ILLUSTRATED POLICE NEWS, Boston, Oct. 23, 1897 Although earlier in its distance this was a more bonafide police & law enforcement newspaper, but by this time it had devolved into a sensationalistic tabloid reporting bizarre and over-the-top antics.
The full front page is a print captioned: "Give Me The Gun, Billy--Nettie Waller, a Skirt Dancer, at Klondike, Tackles a bad man who is shooting at the Footlights."
Other prints include: "Fought a Masked Burglar" "Frank Hinkey Gets Knocked Out" "She Shot See Neighbor" "Butting Match in the Street" and more.
The nice, tipped-in doublepage centerfold has a great boxing theme.
Sixteen pages, nice condition.
