Mandan Hospital has 'Twin Night'
Two sets of twins were gazing about them for the first time in the Mandan Deaconess hospital Tuesday morning. Both pairs were born during the night.
A girl and a boy were born to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown, Sanger, and two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kuhn, Mandan.
The four babes and their mothers were "doing well," according to hospital attendants.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
As Sid Ackland, Robt. Laybourne Jr., and D. Davis were driving near town Sunday afternoon, their team became frightened by an automobile and jumped a ditch, throwing Davis who was driving, violently to the ground. The team being liberated ran in the direction of the bridge. Laybourne by a supreme effort succeeded in getting hold of the lines and was just bracing himself to pull the horses up when the vehicle struck the bridge with terrific impact. Both of the occupants were thrown head foremost out on the bridge. Laybourne was severely cut about the face and was badly bruised about the chest and legs. Ackland also sustained injuries that will keep him in bed for some time. Meanwhile Davis was restored to consciousness and Dr. Law was hastily summoned to the scene and now has all three patients on the way to recovery. From the nature of the accident it is almost miraculous that they escaped with their lives.

Bond Mystery Passes Away
Former Clerk Walks Right Into Vault And Locates 'Em
The mystery of the missing bonds is no mystery today.
N.L. Lillestrand, formerly clerk of the land commissioner under W.J. Prater returned to the city today after an absence of several days and went straightway to the place where the bonds were resting securely in the vault.
Consternation reigned in the land office some days ago when C.R. Kositzky, new land commissioner, sought them so that $28,000 could be paid to the city of Minot, the bonds having been purchased from that city. A search made of the vault then failed to locate them. Mr. Lillestrand walked right into the vault and picked them up from under a book where he had placed them.
The mystery has disappeared, peace reigns and the city of Minot will get her money, excepting for one $1,000 bond which seems to have been lost for many months.
