On This Day | Minot’s Famous Red Light District

Minot’s famous red light district, which has been unusually quiet for a year, seems to have sprung into prominence again very suddenly last Sunday night, when three of the joints were visited by a crowd of drunken bums, and many window lights and considerable furniture was destroyed. It will soon be necessary to station an officer in that district night and day or else export these individuals to some more congenial clime.
