“The Press” In 1866
June 21 THE DOBSON MYSTERY. Mr Dobson, Provincial Engineer, has returned from the Grey after a fruitless search for his son’s remains. He proceeds to Christchurch to-morrow morning. A handkerchief, the property of Mr G. Dobson, has been found, and sufficient data as to leave no doubt as to his sad fate. The perpetrators of this villainous deed, supposed to be Kelly, and Sullivan, are known to the police both here and every other place in the
Southern Island, except Nelson. The only fear entertained by the Police Force is that they may have managed to escape to the Nelson province where they are not known. We can only hope that justice will overtake them. The line of telegraph to the Grey will be open in about another week. It is to be hoped that the posts will be so erected, if possible, as to obviate the constant breaking down of the line, as is the case with our telegraphic communication with Christchurch. From our own Correspondent, Hokitika.
