LESTYN M. ORFF.

Lestyn M. Orff, we'll known in Belfast
and Belmont, where he was employed
for several years in the Horace Cnenery
kennels. was drowned in Portland har-
Dor, Monday, Feb 10th. He married
Mrs. Flora C. Bartlett of Belfast, who
survives him. An exchange gives the
following account of his death: "De-
spondent because of ill health, Lestyn
M. Orff, aged 81, of Warren, committed
suicide Monday morning by drowning and
his body was found floating in the dock
between Merchants and Browns wharves
in Portland harbor shortly before 8. His
watch had stopped at LAS SO it is assum-
ed that he jumped into the waters of the
harbor about that time. That Orff end
ed his own life is certain as when search
of his clothing was made, scribbled in a
small note book was found message to
notify Warren Lodge, l. o. o. F., No.
1877, Warren, Me-, and Mrs. John L.
league, Warren, Me. Orff came to Port
land ABOUT two weeks ago to receive
treatm for spinal trouble which had
affected his nerves. He had called on a
local doctor regarding his trouble and ac-
cording to the Rev. A. G. Pettingill, pas
tor of the Preble Chapel, seemed in good
spirits when the clergyman called on him
last Friday and said that he was going
ahead with the treatment. Medical Ex-
aminer George |. Geer was called and
the body was removed to Rich's UNDER
taking rooms on Exchange street, where
the man was positively identified by let
ters and other articles, including the
brief Suicide note" found on his cloth
ing. That he was not despondent over
money matters is certain as he had just
received a check on the Security Trust
Company of Roekland for S18, which had
not been cashed, and letter from his
sister, Mrs. John L. league of Warren,
written Feb. 4th, assured him that every
thing was all right con this end" and
that she was arranging to send more
money due him from his lodge"

followed by Senator Hale of Maine, who
spoke briefly, and then Senator Pon-
dexter spoke at some length on the cur
rent questions of the day.
The reception given each of the gentle
men and the numerous bursts of applause
that interrupted their remarks proved
conclusively that Maine was glad to well
come them and were pleased with what
they said. 1t was one of the most pleas
ant interruptions of Legislative routine
that has ever been recorded in the Maine
Legislature.
