Death of Little Sidney Magnon
    Little Sidney Magnon, aged 3 years, and 2 months, son of Mr. and Mrs. 
	Maurice Magnon, died Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock.  About three weeks 
	ago the little fellow’s clothing caught fire from an open grate and 
	before the flames could be extinguished he was so badly burned that he 
	was unable to survive it.  He made a strong fight for life for three 
	weeks, suffering greatly: but at last succumbed.
     Funeral services were held in St. John’s Catholic Church at 3:30 p.m. 
	 Saturday and the little body was consigned to its last resting place 
	 in the Catholic cemetery.
