The two met the body at Pine City, and

at the depot. A large representation of
the order of Elks, of which Dana was

AT the Undertaker,s Room.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing rooms of Dampier shortly before
O'Clock, where quite crowd of friends
of Charlie Dana had assembled 10 pay
tribute and homage to their dead CON-
rade. As the wagon rolled to the edge
of the sidewalk delegation of the EIks
stepped up. and with bowed and uncov-
cred heads, carried the casket to the bier
awaiting its coming In the rear of the
room. Undertaken Dampier then held
a short consultation with E. P. Sanborn,
and at its conclusion announced that all
who wished to take last look at the re-
mains do so now, as in very short time
the action Of the air would preclude any
such possibility. BY this time the room
was filled with friends and mournerS,
and as the cloth was raised from the face
they all stepped to one side, aud then
took up the Sorrowful procession around
the temporary coffin in which the re-
mains had been placed at Duluth. Many
stood moment or more to take last
lingering look at their friend, and many
more weakened ere they reached the
side of the bier. being overcome by their
feelings, and silently retraced their
steps to the front office.
Considering the fact that the body
had been out of the water for a period
of nearly fifty hours, it looked quite
natural, and was recognizable to even
the minutest of features. The usual
pallor Of death was even absent, and,
from the action of the water or some
other cause, the face had slight tinge
of red, which added to its natural look.
Hardly feature had changed, and the
fact that the rings on his fingers showed
without press ure of flesh on the sides
can be taken as an indication by those
who did not see the body of the perfect
state Of preservation it was in. On the
third finger of the right hand was
large band ring, which looked as natural
as though worn in life. ana on the littlo
finger of the left hand smaller one was
visible in its entirety. Inside of fifteen
minutes the undertaking establishment
was entirely filled with the friends Of
the deceased, but Mr.. Dampier closed
the coffin, and many had to leave being
able to only pay their tribute to the
dark caskct which shrouded their friend
from all earthly view.
