Conley & Dudley, 220 Third Street.
Conley & Dudley’s new saloon on Third street was opened in due form Tuesday night, and the Bemidji band furnished the music. Lunch was served. In spite of the storm, a large crowd was in attendance. The interior of the building has been fitted up most elegantly, and the fact that James Conley is one of the proprietors is sufficient guarantee that the new place will be run right. (April 24, 1902)
