Whenever I said Minnesota Nice, don't believe me. Duluth folks lynched three men in 1920.

We had lynchings here in Nebraska, too, Madam, clear up until the 1910s. Usually they were cowboys hanging farmers, or farmers hanging cowboys--the famous "range wars" of the Great Plains.

I looked that up, Madam.

Why were they hanged? Intruding on someone else's territory in the labor market, or something?

They shot the hell out of the James-Younger gang in 1876 as well.
