A glass negative in the George Grantham Bain Collection links a Chicago name, J.F. Manning, with a governor named Mead and a man recorded as Sid. Gorham. The title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, and the record notes it has not been verified, so the identities and the occasion are uncertain. Bain's agency sent news photographs to newspapers from about 1900 into the 1920s, and its surviving negatives give a useful look at the people and places that made news in that period.
