Lot contains the Friday morning edition of the paper which started as a weekly in 1768 and went to a semi-weekly in 1796. One article, picked up from the Salt Lake Herald, chronicles the snow slides in Utah the previous month. The edition is four pages and has several ink blocked illustrations enhancing the articles that range from the aforementioned snow avalanches to the accidental strangulation of a 3-year-old boy. The condition of the publication is fragile, but readable and a great example of a medium that will soon be extinct.
