On This Date in Minnesota History: September 25

September 25, 1918 – Backus, Minn., a Cass County village situated nine miles north of Pine River, was visited by a disastrous fire on this date. The home and garage of Frank Hayes, John Hayes’ confectionery, the office of Charles Griffith and the two-story poolroom of Edward Elyea, just built, were destroyed, at a total loss of about $10,000.
