THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, California, June 10, 1903

* East St. Louis flooding
* Mississippi River disaster

The top of the front page has a three column headline: "EAST ST. LOUIS IS TOTALLY SUBMERGED" with subhead. (see) 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 6 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, a few small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
