On This Date in Minnesota History: June 22

June 22, 1922 – Burglars blew open the safe at the Milwaukee depot in Albert Lea and got away with $65 and several tickets and other valuables kept in the safe. Laundry soap used to fill the cracks of the doors before the blast, spattered the ceiling, walls and floor of the depot and the floor was littered with tickets and other papers.

The Minneapolis Morning Tribune; “Burglars Blow Open Safe in Albert Lea Depot; Get $65”; June 23, 1922; p. 13.
