From January 2, 1897, to June 8, 1898, a morning and evening edition were published.

On June 9, the paper was renamed the Morning Telegram and was published every day except Sunday until August 21, 1907.

[1] James H. Richardson, the legendary city editor of the old Los Angeles Examiner, got his start at The Telegram upon dropping out of Kelvin High School in 1912.

As city editor, Richardson oversaw coverage of the infamous Black Dahlia murder for the Hearst-owned Examiner.

[citation needed] The Telegram merged with the rival Winnipeg Tribune in 1920.
