WATER STREET EXCITED.
Joseph Lessor Makes Farewell Call:
and Then Promptly Disappears.

There was lots of excitement down
on Water street, yesterday, over the
disappearance of Joseph Lessor, who
had been employed in the Lockwood
mill as a weaver. According to the
story that was commonly accepted as
we'll authenticated, Mr.. Lessor bade
his family and relatives good bye,
Tuesday morning, saying that he was
going to get out of the way. or some
thing to that effect. 1t seems that no
particular attention was paid to the
man until yesterday morning, when
he had not turned up. Then his
strange talk and threats were remem-
bered and given more significance.
1t is said that before leaving Mr.
Lessor threatened to commit suicide,
saying that he was tired of living. But
it is also said that he had been drink
ing rather heavily during the past few
days and his talk was considered as
just about what might be expected
from a man in his condition. The
strange talk and farewell visits were
made about 9 o'clock, Tuesday morn
ing, and the man has not been seen
since that time.
When a day and a night had been
passed without any trace of his where
abouts being discovered, his relatives
began to get anxious and to think that
some of the threats might have been
carried out. Quite an extended search
was made for the missing man during
the day. but he had not been located
last evening.
The case has not been reported TO
the police and they do not take it Very
seriously They know the man pretty
well and believe that he will turn up
all in good time sound and well. Moth
ing was done by the department, yes
terday, to clear up the matter.
But the friends of the missing man
are worried and his neighborhood is
excited, and if he wanted to create a
sensation he has done it. Outside his
immediate circle it is believed that
nothing has happened to hip and that
he will turn up when he pleases and
in his usual health and spirits.

closed up in the fall. At the time the
river closed up this company had the
