"Los Angeles Evening Express," Volume 7, Number 58, June 6, 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-a-half columns of advertising and somewhat less than two of national and state news and a poem. Page two has local, state, and national news, the latter by telegraphic dispatches. Included in the local items is an article on the lynching of the alleged attacker, Jesus Romo, of William and Rebecca Turner at Workman Mill, an editorial generally approving of the hanging and a letter from a reader decrying this action. There is also three-and-a-half columns of advertising, including new listings. Page three concerns local news, including a report on the condition of the Turners. Four columns of advertising are also on this page. On the fourth page is a half column of state items, with the remainder consisting of legal notices and advertising. At the top right of the first page is, in pencil, the inscription "L. P. Fisher," later the publisher of the Santa Monica Outlook newspaper. With creases, browning of the paper, a horizontal center fold, and small edge tears, the condition is fair.Lexicon
