Features an early report in the "Telegraphic News" section on General Custer's last stand and total defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn. The article takes up a third of a column, and compared to later accounts, the report is remarkably dispassionate and laconic (though the third headline does read "300 Men Slaughtered by the Savages!").
