On This Date in Minnesota History: February 21

February 21, 1912 – While Rev. Frank Doran was is in St. Paul attending the Hamline conference this evening, thieves entered his study at the Central Methodist Church in Winona by breaking the latch of a window. They ransacked his study and the interior of the church, forcing open a number of mission collection boxes and Sunday school bank. The thieves secured a considerable amount of money; the total of which is unknown.
