Description
The Chicago Daily News, a Chicago evening newspaper, documents the local happenings:

The birth of three new Japanese fawn at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
An array of six Solider Field workmen, breaking from their labor, to digress with child-like enthusiasm over a game of marbles (and the game's inevitable unraveling into “squabble” due to poor sportsmanship).
The momentary arrival of Ruby Jolson, née Keeler, en route via train to New York.
With toothy smile, Lee Miller, a Maywood boy who won the oratorical state contest, standing by and shaking hands with his proud father: pleased, but reserved.
The residual of a bus and car involved in an accident, resulting in the injury of twenty and the death of two, as pedestrians look about the wreckage at 91st and Buffalo Street.
Chicago police surveying the traffic in the Loop through a process of ticket issuing and retrieval to every single entering and exiting vehicle.
The attendance of 100,000 at Soldier Field for a fire muster sponsored by the Chicago Daily News.
