On This Date in Minnesota History: September 20





September 20, 1918 – Olli Kinkkonen, the Finn tarred and feathered in Duluth by a group called the Knights of Loyalty on September 18, continues to be missing. His luggage is still in his room. “It is reported that the Knights of Loyalty left Kinkkonen his clothes so he was able to skip without discomfort.”
