The 6-years-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexis Biron of 74 West street was drowned soon after 6 last night in the second-level canal, near the Norman paper company’s mill. Officers Rourke and Vachon dragged the canal for two hours to recover the body, but were unsuccessful, and the search will be renewed this morning.
