"Los Angeles Evening Express," Volume 7, Number 62, June 11, 1874. The newspaper has the words "EVENING EXPRESS" on the masthead, along with an image of a train. The city name and date are at the center just below and the volume is at left, and the issue number at right. The proprietor, Tiffany and Co., is listed in a box at the upper left along with office location and subscription terms. The first page consists of five-and-three-quarter columns of advertising and somewhat more than one of state and national items. Page two has local, state, and national news, the latter by telegraphic dispatches, and two-and-a-half columns of advertising, including new listings. Articles include a note that some Californios and Mexicans were reported to be agitating for the revenge of the lynching of Workman Mill attacker Jesus Romo. Page three concerns state and local news, including a note that the streetcar of the Spring and Sixth Street Railway, which had F. P. F. Temple as a treasurer, was due to begin service the next week and another report on meetings about avenging the death of Romo. On the fourth page is a postoffice directory and a couple of national news items, with the remainder consisting of legal notices and advertising. At the top right of the first page is, in pencil, the inscription "Mechanics Institute." With creases, dogeared corners, browning of the paper, a horizontal center fold, and small edge tears, the condition is fair.Lexicon
