Interview with Joe MITCHELL, news agent at I.C.R. Station (St. John) - 'I was born in Winnipeg of half-breed heritage. My mother's name was DUMONT. She was French. Both my father and mother are dead. Gabriel DUMONT, who was with RIEL, is my uncle. I have often seen him. He is travelling with Buffalo Bill now. I speak English, a little French, Spanish, Portugese and Italian. Besides I can talk in two Indian tongues. Well you see I was educated in Springfield College at New Orleans, Louisiana. I was studying for my priesthood, but I was unable to finish my studies.
