LORENZO p. PEASLEE,
Drowned Near Brown Island Sunday
Forcnoon--Thc Body Recovered.

L.orcnZo +. Peasee was drowned
Sunday forenoon in the Kcnnebec river
between Brown Island and the east
shore.
Mr.. PcaSlcc went in a dory to the is
land with his little son. After landing,
he either neglected to hitch his boat,
or did not fastcn it securely, for soon

Several people on the east shore saw
Mr.. Peaselee struggle and heard his
cries They realized that he was IN
danger but had no means by which to
render assistance.
An Augusta man, cruising in a motor
boat. passed the scene of the accident
soon after Ii occurred, and from the
empty boat, unsecured. he surmised
that an accident had happened. He
headed his craft toward Gardiner and
was the first to bring the news here.
The news spread fast and caused much
excitement. 1t was not long before
several spoke of seeing Mr.. Pcaselee
start uprivcr in his dory and everybody
then took 1t for granted that il was he
who had been drowned. The excite
ment which had first been manifested
changed to sadness. Mr.. Peaselee had
very many friends in the city and with
him in the prime of life and the head
of happy family. it seemed that there
could he no other circumstance capable
of making his death sadder
Marshal Andrews was taken to the
scene of the drowning by the man who
brought the first report of the accident,
and scores of people followed. Some
went in boats some drove up the River
road. some went by EHectrics to Brown
Island boom and many walked. All
uttered words of regret, and none
seemed morbdly curious. They went,
almost all of them, because they hoped
against hope that the sad news they
had heard might be untrue.
Preparations for graphing occupied
some time. 1t was not long afterward,
however. that the body was found In
