Bishop Gilbert has sent Rev. W Sayers
of Montevideo to Marshall, Mimi, to inves-
tigate the mystery surrounding the alleged
discharge Of 7. II. Barton of st. Paul, who
left his charge of the parish, while on a visit
to Granite Falls, on the authority of a sup
posed telegram from Marshall saying he was
no longer wanted. No such dispatch was
sent from Marshall, but the investigation
shows that one was delivered to him in
Granite Falls, signed Mrs. Williams. As
Mrs. j. w. Williams is president of the guild
the authority of the dispatch was not ques-
toned, and it's request acceded to. No such
dispatch went over any line TO Granite Falls,
and the one received was q forgery, either
malicious or for a practical joke. 1t has
been traced into narrow quarters, and the
perpetrator is likely to be soon found out.
The Episcopal society considers Mr.. Barton
entirely blameless and the victim of q heart
less fraud. A testimonial to that effect has
been universally signed. and he will remain
in charge of the Marshall parish.
