Whiskey Runners
The
Whiskey runners made a lot of money and made it in a hurry. They were flashy
dressers, sporting big diamonds, silk shirts, fancy ties and suits. They were
also big tippers. One night in Minot a group of them lined up and peppered a
bass drum in a Minot dancehall orchestra with silver dollars. The group was
trying to break the head of the drum. They eventually ruined the drum but the
orchestra was not upset as they got to keep all the silver dollars.
