KROHN IS HERE
Man Charged With Hypnotizing Col"
by Boy Brought in by
Deputy Sherlfl.^
Deputy
a
v
Sheriff Redmon arrived in'the
city last evening, having in charge John
Krohn. who he arrested at Staples,
Minn., on a warrant charging him with
kidnaping. Krohn was arraigned before
Justice Gearey this morning. His bond
was placed at $200 and his hearing- s^t
for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. In
default of bail the defendant was taken
back to the county jail. It is thought
his father will reach tHe city tomorrow
when bond will be made.
Krohn is charged with kidnaping the
i4^year-old son of J. A. Colby, a farmer
living near Grandin. Early in the fall
he appeared at the Colby farm and se
cured employment as. a farm laborer.
An intimacy sprang up between the
Coby boy and the new hired man, and
at the close of the season they quietly
left the farm one night and their where
abouts was unknown until last Friday,
when they were. located on a farm
owned by Krohn's father, north of
Staples. The boy's father .went to the
Krohn farm and secured the returned
of his son without trouble or objection
0:1 the part of the Krohns. It was
thought the matter would drop here, but
Mr. Colby decided to prosecute and on
Saturday last went before Justice Gear
cy and swore out a warrant for Krohn
charging him with kidnaping his son.
It is reported that the boy claims that
he left home of his own accord, giving
a«i a reason that lie was compelled to
work hard and was deprived of the priv
ilege of going to school. He had an of
fer of a home at the Krohn farm in
Minnesota, and accepted the new hired
man's proposal to go with him.
Krolm laughs at the idea that he
hypnotized the boy. He says he knows
nothing of hypnotism, so far as the boy
is concerned, he attempted to practice
nothing but kindness. The boy did not
want his father to know that he was
going to leave the farm and begged the
hired man not to reveal their plans.
Krohn is a big-hearted, whole-souled
fellow appearently. He is possessed of
a good face and talks very fairly and
frankly of the incident. In official
circles it is believed that a case of kid
naping cannot be made to stick against
him.

J.
Tfte Bottineau News: Rev.
has no lake and no pleasure resort, anji
business men at the c\ub rooms last'
Friday night and laid before them his,
scheme for founding the Presbyteriap
College on the shores of Lake. Metig
oshe, north, of Bpttineau. He told of
having secured dn' option on .Tom
O'Neil's farm, the same to be \ised as
a location for the proposed college
along with a summer resort which is
to be a part of tile institution during
the sumemr months ortly, during which
time the plan is to conduct a bible
school and have other innocent amuse
ments which are to be found a^ the
right kind of summer resorts. He as
sured the business men that all that
is necessary is for them to buy lots
which will be platted along the lak e
front, the money thus procured to be
expended in buying the farm. These
lots are held at $100 each and the busi
ness men in the various towns of Bot
tineau County have such faith in the
scheme that nearly enough lots have
been ordered to furnish $5,000 to start
with. Both Rev. Wilson and Mr. Todd
of Willow are working on the scheme
and they assure the business men thqt
they have enough money in sight from
eastern parties to erect substantial col
lege buildings. If this is the case, there
is little doubt the matter will gio
through. The News man and all the
business men here would prefer seeing
the institution built nearer town, bin
in that case the people of Bottineau
would be compelled to dig up $jo,cdo
t6 $15,000 to replace the building which
was furnished for the now defunct
Presbyterian College at Jamestown!
This the people of Bottineau could
hardly do this year, and of course they
could receive no assistance from out
side towns—many of which are candi
dates for the institution. Minot es
pecially wants it and is able and rcatjy
to raise plenty of money to put up a
has 110 lake and no pleasure resort and
good building to start with. But MinOt
Bottineau has. By putting it at the
lake the various towns of this county
and the cotinties neighboring liaVe
promised to contribute. It means
big thing for Botfineau County. Let
the people of the county be a unit, and
do all that can be done to keep this
institution coming our way. The plan
proposed is the same as that of the
Winona, Ind., college, which, is very
successful. As The News' said' before,
it would like to see the institution
nearer the town, but if we can't have
it that way, let's do the next best thing.

was gambling in Fargo, but we couldn't
prove it. The mayor told us he would
do the rest—that is, that was my un
derstanding of his interview—if we
would get the evidence, so we de
cided to hire detectives—real detec
tives. We hired three of them. They
went to a barher shop and got their
hair cut and got acquainted with the
barber. Then they began detecting.
"The barber took them out—I guess
they went out—and showed them where
gambling was going on. The detec
tives traded the money we gave them
for chips—I guess it must have been
somewhere near a wood pile—and sat
up. as they call it.
"They were playing—what do you
think?—poker! That's a sort of card
game they play with chips or bank
checks. I heard one of the detectives
say. The head detective, who told me
about it, said it was a Jack kettle and
they all remained. Then they drew,
but he didn't say what. The' head de
tective said he followed Mr. Hanna's
advice, but I don't know exactly what
he meant. Mr. Hanna simply told the
voters in Ohio recently 'to stand pat.'
I guess that was some offensive fel
low he wanted to keep in office.
"Anyway, the barbershop man took
all of the head detective's bank checks
and wouldn't give them back. But the
other two detectives kept on playing.
They edged up to the table and strad
dled it—d beg your pardon, but that's
lust what {hey said—and they raised
and lowered and pinched and tried to
run a cliff. But it seems there were
more qf.thc Jack kettles and the bar
bershop man got all of the other de
tective's bank checks and wouldn't give
them back. They wouldn't give them
back our money, either—the horrid
things.
"But we got good and even, you may
be sure. We told the mayor and he's
going to see about it and I'll bet that
barbershop fellow will look as though
he had his bristles scalded off in those
despisable Jack kettles that be took
all of our reform money a^way from us
with. "You see the mayor didn't care
to pay any attention to anonymous let
ters they look too cowardly, you
know, but with three thoroughly skin
ned detectives presented to him, I'm
satisfied that he will decide tlutt they
