On This Date in Minnesota History: March 21

March 21, 1907 – “Ernest Adams, aged 74 years, a contractor, while engaged in cleaning out a deep well, about four miles outside [St. Paul], was buried under tons of earth which caved in on top of him at 5:30 o'clock p. m. last evening. He was taken out alive at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The only injury he sustained was a slight bruise on the head, and he is apparently no worse for his experience.”
