<Sidney Paine Johnston (with a "t"), 1869-1905, was born and died in Chicago. In "Young Marshall" by John S. Hilbert (Moravian Chess, 2002), he is described as "one of Chicago's strongest experts." He played 7th board in the 1899 US-vs.GB cable match (Marshall was 8th board). His best tournament showing was probably the 4th Western Chess Congress, 1903, where he scored 14½-2½ to tie for 1st with Judd and Uedemann, finally losing a playoff to Judd. He was chess editor for the Chicago Tribune 1901-1905.
His match with Marshall was played in Chicago 12/1899-01/1900, Marshall winning +7 -6 =2. The total stakes were $200. Johnston died young and unexpectedly, just age 35. I don't see where Hilbert mentions a cause of death. Apparently Johnston was well-liked and respected, and his premature passing was much mourned.>
