On This Date in Minnesota History: November 29

November 29, 1915 – As a result of the closing of saloons by the county option law, the East Grand Forks, Minn., jail is empty for the first time in a year. This is a slight improvement over former conditions, since as many as 120 have been under arrest at one time during the past year.

The Bemidji Daily Pioneer; “East Grand Forks Jail Empty; Lid Blamed”; Nov. 30, 1915; p. 1.
