THE DAILY PALO ALTO, Stanford University, California, March 1, 1905
* Death of Jane Stanford - murder mystery ?
* Stanford University founder - best title
This is the school newspaper published by this now prestigious university in northern California, and the content which consumes most of the front page--although tragic--could not be better in any other newspaper.
The banner headline announces: "MRS. STANFORD DIES SUDDENLY IN HAWAII" "End Came Unexpectedly to the Widow of the Senator and the Joint Founder of the University Last Night". Further reports follow.
Four pages, all columns on all pages are black-bordered for her death, very nice condition.
