100 Years Ago: 1924
Much comment and some complaints have been made about the cold weather of last Saturday.
Here is a case where commendation is proper. Two Minot lumbermen were coming out of the woods with their last load of logs late Saturday night and one of the horses became sick. The temperature was 20 below, but the men worked with the horse and did everything they could from about 6 o’clock until nine. They got the horse up and he was able to walk to the barn, but both men and horses suffered considerably.
