On This Date in Minnesota History: September 12

September 12, 1916 – Whether sunstroke is a disease or an accident is causing municipal authorities $2,000 worth of worry. George Rau, a city employee, was stricken while at work. He sued the city to compensate himself for the “accident.” The city disclaims responsibility.
