NORTH DAKOTA Additions/Updates Week of July 17, 2000
The following newspaper transcriptions for Hansboro, Towner County, ND have been uploaded. The period covers 1906, 1907, 1908, 1910.
The formatting took longer than usual because I couldn't help but
read as I worked. One story concerned a bootlegger who furnished
booze until the group he was selling to ran out of money. So he
closed shop and when home. Someone broke into his booze cache and
stole three bottles. The bootlegger came back and a brawl ensued
raging up and down main street. One boozee was reported to be in
6 fist fights and lost them all. I would call him a sore loser
