OBITUARY..

Fred A. Sanborn died at p. M, June 18th,
at his home, No. Bell street, from sef-in-
hicted bullet wounds in the head and left arm.
He had been at home for several days with his
mother and off duty as one of the city's night
watch on account of trouble with his feet,
fearing broken arches. Thursday evening he
spent with the H. H. Carter family, who live
on the first floor. Nothing unusual was noted
in his appearance during the evening when
he left them to 60 to his room. Mr.. Carter
and Mrs. Nettie M. MerritheW. who was stop
ping with the family. heard the report of a re-
volver at $50 a.. M, Friday, but did not think
it signifed anything and paid no attention to
it. 1t was not unusual for Mr.. Sanborn to re-
main in his room and he was not disturbed
until his mother went to call him to dinner
about 1.3O p. m. She found him very weak
from the loss of blood but apparently con-
scious. He had used an automatic 32-calibre
revolver, which he had in his possession to
shoot unlicensed dogs. The bullet entered the
right temple. passed through the head and
came out little lower on the left temple,
passed through the left arm and did not pene-
trate the shirt sleeve on the outside. but fell
on the bed when he was moved. He spoke
several times and apparently knew his broth
er Roscoe when he arrived Saturday from Ban
gor. 1t was a great shock to the mother,
brother and his many friends, who have the
sympathy of all. He was born in Belfast
June 1e, 1872, the son of the late William H.
and Helen Aldus Sanborn and all his life wss
spent here. By trade he was a ship black
smith and mad worked in the various yards
and later in the Gilchrest yard For six years
he worked a molder in the Belfast Foundry
and had recently worked for A. c. Hopkins
who bought the plant. He was serving
the second year night watch. He was of
pleasant disposition and kind hearted. He
never married and had made his home with
his mother. He was for number of years
member of the Republican City Committee
and delegate to the county and State con-
ventions. Drs. H. L. Kilgore and E. A. Will
son, who were called, did all they could to al
leviate his suffering. He gave them no reason
for the rash act and those most intimate with
him attribute it to temporary insanity due to
dependency. The funeral took place at his
late home Tuesday at 2 80 p. M. Rev. Arthur
A. Blair. Universalist, officiating.
