EPISCOPAL RECTOR IN DISGRACE
Dickinson Minister Is Charged With a Nameless
Crime in st. Paul-Is Held in Prison.

Dobbyn, the boy claims, has frequently
visited him in st. Paul. His physical
condition was such that he went to
DR.. o. Martel for treatment. and to the
physician the lad told his story.
The facts were reported to the coun-
ty attorneys Office, and as Dobbyn had
notified Bonnelle that he would meet
him at the hotel. the detectives were
advised of the meeting and made the
arrest.
Dobbyn occupied the pulpit at st.
Pauls church in st. Paul on Sunday.
Dobbyn is married, but has no chill
dren. His wife, it is said, is an inmate
of an insane asylum in Canada.
The preliminary hearing was set for
Saturday morning i nthe police court.
AS the penalty for the offense of which
he is charged Is not less than five nor
more than twenty years, Judge Hine
could not fix bail and the prisoner was
remanded to JAIL

but brother-in-law, F. L. Hartman,

charge against Dobbyn will be prose-
cuted.

but declined to talk concerning the
case, referring those who approached

# Some Of our Minnesota newspaper
friends are disposed to regret that so
many settlers who are seeking new
fields Of labor pass through the North
Star State and seek homes in North
Dakota end the states even farther
west. They contend that these home.
seekers are passing by equally good
advantages IN Minnesota, and that the
people Of that state must bestir them
selves and do work that the railroads
are not doing. The average railroad
that may have its headquarters in st.
Paul and run Its trains to the Pacific
coast would perhaps little sooner see
Ohio and Iowa people settle in North
Dakota or farther west even, than in
Minnesota, for they would have the
longer haul on passengers and freight.

market, for which he would have to
pay twice the price. Why should; he
not go farther west? There landed in
"a Western city a few days ago some
European travellers who called atten.
ton to the fact that much Of the land
they passed on their way from New
York needed draining; much land that
might be cultivated was lying waste,
and that the surface Of the land over
which they passed did not have the
garden-like appearance that they would
see few. miles out Of London or Ber-
lin. They did not realize that the
farmers habit is not to start from a
large Eastern city and farm in the
highest degree every foot Of land, and
thus travel west; but he takes the
land, irrespective Of its distance from
the eastern seaboard, and takes ad-
vantage Of the excellent transportation
facilities that exist-facilities that put
into the shade all the transportation
facilities that exist in European coun-
tries. So the new settler passes by
the lands in Minnesota that he sees,
which look sandy and lacking in fer
tility, and comes to the Red river val
ley. Then on his way further west,
he passes by the comparatively inhos-
pitable country that lies between
Jamestown and Bismarck, and comes
west of the river. and plants himself
in the valleys of the Heart, the Sweet
Friar, the Green river. This is the
tendency of the times, and no newspa'
per criticism can prevent it.-Mandan
