A SPECIAL to the Evening Journal of
the 9th, inst says:-An aged man, named
Facey. who is serving twenty years
sentence in the North Dakota peniten.
tiary for the murder of HE son in
Pembina county two years sgo claims l,is
mind is unsound and wants 10 he sent to
the insane asylum at jamestown. PLY.
sicians have examined him but fail to
to find any signs Of deinentia. Fscey is
old and childish, and the impression is
that lie will spend the remainder of his
short lease Of life in the asylum. This
is rather pitiful, aud it is believed the
old man was not guilty of wiIfulIy mur.
dering his boy. tits believed to be acct.
dental. The Whole family were of a
quarrelsome turn. When the Facey case
came to the jury one Of the daughters
asked friend what lie thought her fa.
tler would get. AZ replied, "t,e old
man would probably get five years or a |
heavy fine" She was disappointed and
"ls that all? Tllats too bad. +"
W. J. s. Trail, one Of Pe,nbina's lead.
ing citizens. was in the city few days
this week. He was buying up oats and
talking up the sheep industry which, lie
thinks is the industry that Cavalier
county farmers should engage in and
not depend 90 much on wheat. MIR.
rraill Is che Of North Dakota's oldest
settlers There is very little OF the coun.
Try between st. Paul and the divide and
rs far north 10 Hudson Bay that he has
not traversed in the past thirty years.
Coming up on the tram to this city on
he recognized a spot upon
which lie had canred twenty years ago
asst spring while takiuga train OF carts
oadetl will, buffalo hides and other furs
rom one Of the Hudson Bay company's
posts to st. Cloud, Mimi, the nearest
railway point at that time. On that
Quincy he Travelled through a herd Of
so large that it took thirty days
o pass by them and the entire train
lived for that time on buffalo tongue.
They killed the animal for the tongue
alone. Alas! the American bison has
forever anil hardly anything is ]
eft except it's bones bleaching upon the !
prairies to remind Us Of its greatness and .
I'll owing to such ruthless slaughter.
