citizens hurried down town to find

n. D., to attend meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Farmers R.
r. last week, Judge Grindeland met
the LaCount brothers on their way to
Winnipeg to reclaim the body of their
father, the stoneman. They told the
story of their fathers death something
like this: He and another scout were
escorting a party from Winnipeg to
St. Paul in 1889. The usual route at
that time was to proceed on the west
side of Red River as far south as lake
Traverse and then go east. This was
before the Indian trail on the east
side of the river was used. In the
party was an Englishman, who was
anxious to start straight across the
country for their destination, hence at
Pembina he induced LaCount and a
few others to cross to the east side Of
the river. During the day the Eng
lishman became insane and when at
the bank Of a coulee he shot LaCount
in the breast and Immediately after
shot himself. The sons, who were
then II and 10 years old respectively,
took off their fathers clothes, wrap
ped him in a blanket and buried him,
but the remains of the Englishman
they left for the wolves to devour. Be
fore expiring LaCount gave directions
for re-crossing the river to join the
other party. Mr.. Grindeland believes
their story to be perfectly true, and
says that their forms and features
bear striking resemblance to the
stone man. They spoke very feeling
ly of their father. The elder, who is
~ years old, lives near St. Paul, and
