  • More violators of liquor laws appeared before Federal Judge Cant yesterday than had ever appeared before him since prohibition began in Minnesota. More than three-fourths of the violators were from outside of Duluth.
  • John G. Ross, St. Louis County humane agent, has written a letter protesting the Rotary Club rodeo that will be held this month at the Tri-State Fairgrounds in Superior. Ross said rodeos are always accompanied by much suffering among participating animals.
