Seven men were murdered in the garage of the SMC Cartage Company that day and the crime officially remains unsolved to this day. The only witness to the actual crime to survive was a German Shepherd dog named "Highball." The pet of one of the victims, the dog was discovered by police, cowering beneath a truck and howling in fear.

Oh, okay, I was just wondering because it's definitely not a straight scan of an original paper, but I have no problem believing that it's a cobbled together or Photoshopped version of what was an actual paper. Sorry if I implied that there was something shady going on.

No I don't think it was cobbled together in photoshop. Its a reproduction, not a recreation. Its likely from a turn of the century photograph of the original paper, that was then reprinted and then scanned for the web.

Yeah you gotta watch those curbs, darn uneven surface is dangerous!
I love the story about the woman and the porn film. Really? 9mos after your husband had been gone is believable honey, but not a year....The only thing more unbelievable about that story is if she wasn't sure she was the mother. :D
