On This Day | Train Brings a Flood Of People
Author
MinotVoice
A flood of people equally as great as the flood of the river Mouse, came pouring into Minot from the east Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, when the G. N. tracks were repaired to such an extent that the eight passenger trains from the east crept into this city one trailing after the other. Fully two thousand five hundred people were on board these trains and they were in a sorry plight. Many had been on the trains since Wednesday morning, and more than three-fourths of them were actually weak from the want of food.
