On This Date in Minnesota History: January 19

January 19, 1917 – Following a steady decline in the arrests since the Pennington County became dry three years ago, the number of Thief River Falls policemen has been decreased until there are only two members active in the department, the chief and one patrolman. The mayor decided no more were needed for the year.
