"Los Angeles Evening Express," Volume 7, Number 59, June 8, 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 about a wealthy Californian. Page two has local, state, and national news, the latter by telegraphic dispatches, and four columns of advertising, including new listings. Page three concerns local news, including several items on the Workman Mill attack and the lynching of the accused, Jesus Romo. These items include a report on the inquest into Romo's hanging, a report on the condition of Mrs. Turner, and a note that Romo denied participation in a massacre of a family in San Diego County. A little more than four columns of advertising are also on this page. On the fourth page is a post office directory and 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 "Mechanics Institute." With creases, browning of the paper, a horizontal center fold, and small edge tears, the condition is fair.Lexicon
