On This Date in Minnesota History: February 13

February 13, 1918 – Members of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra touring the Pacific coast, narrowly escaped injury today when the eastbound train carrying the orchestra collided with a special westbound train carrying Dutch colonists, at Elko, Nev. Nine colonists were hurt, but the musicians were uninjured.
