Governor Burnquist to Order Investigation

Northfield, Minn., June 16, – Governor J. A. A. Burnquist, here today attending the annual graduation exercises of Carleton College, said he would begin a complete investigation of the lynching at Duluth last night as soon as he reached his offices at the state capitol.
“I know nothing of what took place in Duluth last night except what I saw in the morning papers,” Governor Burnquist said. “I cannot say anything in connection with the report until I have been acquainted with and investigated the facts. As soon as the investigation is completed I shall have a statement to make, which will include what action is to be taken.”
