COAL GAS KILLS TWO
Man and Son Are Found Dead in Bed, Asphyxiated While Asleep.
J.A. Dahl and his son were found dead in their beds at their home at Mackville {sp}, having been asphyxiated by coal gas. The gas escaped from a defective soft coal stove which was used in the sleeping room.
When the neighbors noticed that the two men were not about the place during the next day an investigation was made and the two dead bodies were found lying on the bed.
At first it was believed that the two men had met with foul play, as their faces were blackened and distorted as if they had been strangled to death, but further investigation revealed the source of the trouble.

While Supt. Archibald was in South Dakota, a patient at the insane asylum made his escape and walked all the way to Pembina, a distance of 150 miles, as the crow flies. He started with only $1, and got through all right. He would have been discharged in a few days and his return was not deemed necessary.

T. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of County commissioners, met with a severe accident Sunday. He was riding on the prairie at a rapid pace when his horse stumbled and threw him. He struck the ground on his forehead producing concussion of the brain to such an extent that he was unconscious for many hours. Monday morning he was better and the doctor hoped for his recovery.

T. P. Davis, whose serious injury was noted last week, is recovering slowly. He was on the streets as early as last Friday, although assisted by two friends. He has been rational most of the time since the injury therefore serious injury to the mind is not feared, although the blow on the head was a terrible one. His strong constitution and steady habits were the greatest elements of strength in his favor, although the skill of his physicians is undoubted.
