Indian Bureau Tightens Indian Treaty Enforcement in Minnesota
The Indian Bureau in Washington issued two notices on enforcing treaties banning liquor in northern Minnesota. Liquor possession is now prima facie evidence of introduction, and beer is classified as spirituous liquor. The rulings affect the dry northwest region, stopping beer trade at Red Lake Falls along with whisky. Local prohibition efforts and Calderwood’s Washington visit are noted as context.
