Minneapolis.

LIE oIdle NOW GeII1Qg EV1QenCe IN
Minneapolis.
Tue first move in the trial of VIM,
Barry for murder. says an associated
press dispatch in Mondays daily papers,
took place in Minneapolis this week.
Judge Cochrane, of Gran Forks, who
assists the state III proving Barry's guilt,
Ia here to gather evidence. Barry killed
his hired man in cold blood. He stabbed
him in the neck. His attorneys will
enter the plea of insanity. The history
of Barry's family is full of insanity and
the sister who was the real cause of the
crime is new in the state asylum at
jamestown. Much of the evidences
consequent. will be that of experts Oh
insanity, and the state is preparing the
part of its case bearing on that point.
The evidence of several Minneapolis
authorities on insanity will figure in
the trial. 1t is said that both Attorney
Cochran for the prosecution and Attorney
Temp|eton for the defense will 60 to
Huron county, Ontario, and visit the old
Barry homestead, near Dashwood to get
the inside of the family history OF the
prisoner before the trial.
The CLAIM is made on the Mellnm side
of the controversy that the murdered
man, who had worked for Barry for eigh;
years had become his creditor and that
Barry was also indebted to his sister
considerable amount. The same report
says that Barry was opposed to the
marriage of the couple, which friends of
the dead man claimed was his wish.
The prosecution will attempt to show
that Barry opposed the marriage for fear
that it would result in his having to
liquidate his indebtedness to his hired
man and sister. who has been his
housekeeper for many years,

RIPE OLD AGE.
Father of Thos. Brown, a Former Well
Known Resident Saw Three Centuries.

John Brown, ST., who died at his home
near Hallson, in Pembina county on the
18TH, inst, was the father of Thos.
Brown, who figured prominently IN the
early history of Langdon and though no
longer resident of the city continues to
be frequent and welcome visitor. In
it's mention of the passing away of the
old gentleman the Cavalier Chronicle
says: "Mr. John Brown lived IN three
centuries, privilege that is not very
frequently allotted to man in the latter
centuries. He was 104 years old, had
never employed doctor for himself and
had always been in good health until
taken ill, the result of cold, something
over week before his death.
The deceased was born in Mayo,
County of Mayo, ireland, where the early
part of his life was spent. He sub
sequently removed to Liverpool, Eng
land where he lived about IS years. At
the age of SIS years he emlgrated to
America, locating IN Wisconsin, where
he resided until 1882 whe, he removed
to the western part OF Pembina county,
North Dakota. At tho age of about 80
years he was married to Miss Ellen
Malopey in Ireland, who survives him
and is living with her sons near Hallson
and this city. She is aged past s8years,
and still enjoys fairly good health, a.
though the death of her aged husband
ls a severe blow to her.
The deceased had been engaged in
farming most all his life. Besides his
widow he leaves the following sons
James, John, Thomas and Harry Brown,
all farmers residing neer Hallson. The
eldest son Patrick died in this country
from kick by horse about Is years
ago. Their only daughter died in infancy
in England. Deceased was a man of
excellent qualities Of mind and of heart,
good citizen and neighbor and man
generally esteemed by all who knew
him."
