New Haven—Little Dezanno Lako four years old, nue, is at St. Vincent’s hospital suf- fering from very severe burns, which may result in death, as a result of playing with matches at his home while his mother left him alone to go to a near-by market. g Mrs. Lako went to the store about 10 o’clock, leaving the child in the kitchen of -the home. In some man- ner, not accounted® for, he found some matches, and when the mother returned the child’s clothes were in a mass of flames. The mother spread the alarm and did all possible to ex- tinguish the flames. Neighbors came to her assistance, and the ambulance | was sent for. Dr. Gavlas in charge | realized the serious nature of the case and after temporary aid rushed the child to St. Vincent's hospital. Insulted the Flag. Naugatuck—Judge Frank A. Sears of the local borough court is looking | for a magazine agent who is said to have insulted the American flag at Judge Sears’ home. It-.is said that the agent was leaving Judge Sears’ home when he saw Mr. Sears’ daugh- ter handling an American flag at a window on the second floor and that | he told her to throw down the flag so that he could spif on ,t. Later, when Judge Sears was at home a man | said to be the partner of the maga- zine iagent called at-the house and Judge Sears told him about the insult to the flag. The man said he thought the other, agent was only. joking, but Judge Sears replied that this was no time to joke in that way. The judge stated that if he could find the man who is said to have insulted the flag he would have him arrested. Enter the Woman. Ansonia—The condition of Frank Sandlak, who was shot on Central street by supposed highwaymen Mon- day night, was reported as . being more favorable. The condition of the | man is still serious, but an improve- ment was noted this morning and there is a possibility that he will pull {through. The patient's condition 1is such, however, that a change for the worse is likely at any time. If Sand- lak lives the week out, there is a chance that he will recover.
