A telegram on the 4th, from Monticello, Minn., to C. A. Reed, brought the sad news of the death of John, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ridley. Mr. Reed and Glenn Ridley look the evening train from Decorah for the Ridley home. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Ridley in their affliction. Johnnie’s death was caused by typhoid fever. Mr. Reed returned to-night but Glenn stayed with the grief-stricken parents.
