On This Date in Minnesota History: May 3


May 3, 1916 – Minnesota Governor Burnquist received a letter from Kenton, Ohio, asking him to warn the police of Minneapolis and St. Paul regarding a resident of Kenton who makes an annual visit to the two cities on a begging tour. According to the complaint this particular beggar is wealthy. Governor Burnquist turned the letter over to the police authorities of the two cities.
