July 12, 1920 – W.K. Wagner and Eldon
Hendrixson, arraigned this morning in municipal court in Bemidji before Judge
J. F. Gibbons on the charge of wearing indecent dress in a public street and
making indecent exposure of their persons, were summoned for trial this
afternoon. Attorney C. W. Scrutchin represented Wagner and Attorney P.J.
Russell appeared for Hendrixson. Wagner was sentenced to a fine of $25 or 20
days in jail and Hendrix son was sentenced to a fine of $10 or 10 days in jail.
The fine was paid in both cases.
The charge was made against these men on Saturday night when they were seen by
one of the local policemen on a downtown Bemidji street clad only in their
bathing suits.
