THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Sept. 10, 1901
* Emma Goldman hunted
* Anarchists - anarchy
* Assassin Leon Czolgosz
* re. William McKinley shooting
The top of the front page has a one column heading: "ARRESTED ANARCHISTS" with subheads. Also on the front page is: "McKINLEY'S RECOVERY" with subheads. (see images) 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 8 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, a few small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
AI notes: On September 9, 1901, Chicago was thrown into turmoil as police and federal authorities launched an aggressive crackdown on local anarchists in the immediate aftermath of President William McKinley’s shooting (September 6, 1901) by Leon Czolgosz, who claimed anarchist sympathies. Chicago—home to one of the largest and most outspoken anarchist communities in the United States since the Haymarket era—became a focal point for law-enforcement sweeps. Police raided meeting halls, printing offices, and private apartments connected to the city’s anarchist and radical immigrant groups, particularly those around the newspaper Free Society. Dozens of people were questioned or detained without formal charges, with authorities hoping to uncover evidence that Czolgosz had conspirators in Chicago (he did not). While nothing linking Chicago anarchists to the assassination attempt was ever found, the raids on September 9 reflected the intense public suspicion of radicals after McKinley’s shooting and marked one of the most forceful police clampdowns on Chicago’s anarchist scene since the 1886 Haymarket affair.
