This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 6 has an article headed: "VIGILANTES' VENGEANCE" "A Couple of Murderers Lynched by a Mob at Hastings, Neb." and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 12 pages, minor irregularity along the spine, very nice condition.
