The finding of the body of Mrs. Dake
is going to make a lot of trouble. Dake
is a member of the A. O. q. w. and the
lodge has taken the matter in hand, de-
termined to sift the matter to the bottom
and inf1ict the severest punishment
which can legally be done.
Dake is a member of Apollo lodge 1s8
When Star lodge 331 of the North side
was in session last night the news was
brought to it of the finding of Dake's
wife at the medical college.
"Boys, by heavens, l move that we
take the law in our own bands" shouted
one of the oldest and cslmest members
springing to his feet. Other expressions

When quiet was restored resolutions
were adopted asking all the A. o. L. W.
lodges in the city to meet tonight, and
instructing Master Workman c. A. Star
bird to meet all the master workmen this
morning and arrange for calling the
meetings.
DStarbird was ont early this morning,
nd before noon the seven master work
men of the city a. o. U; W.
lodges met at the court house
and called special meetings of all the
lodges for tonight
The seven lodges have $500 members.
This morning committees called on
different persons about town who are
connected with the affair just before
noon a committee called on County At
torney Stafford and had long consulta-
ton with him.
At DeMoss s. PenwelPs undertaking
establishment, where the body lies, lodge
men congregated and discussed the situ-
ton. Mail carriers, farmers, officers of
the law, men in every walk of life were
going and coming throughout the morn
ing. Dake himself was there, and ex-
pressions of rage were frequent.
SIT is hard to tell what will be done at
the meeting tonight" said one of the
men we'll up in lodge work. "If the
hotheads get started frat there is no tell
ing what will happen. If cooler heads
prevail the result will be different.
"The action that will be taken will
probably be to find out who did
this crime and then make con
viction as certain as possible"
"How will you find out who did it?
By detectives?"
ayes, probably"
DR.. Minney, dean of the faculty at the
Medical college, said to a reporter to-
day:
"You can say that the faculty of the
college in connection with Judge Albert
H. Horton, a trustee, held a meeting at
2 o'clock this afternoon. Resolutions
will be adopted stating that we know
nothing and did know nothing of these
bodies"
"Who has to furnish these bodies, the
students or the college?" asked the re-
porter.
DO you know anything about Ann
Arbor?"
The reporter confessed his ignorance,
and the doctor began talking of some
thing else.
"Do the students have to furnish their
own dissecting material or is the rule of
the school to furnish it to them?" per-
sisted the reporter.
Ss7"Oh, the college is supposed to sup
ply it" admitted the doctor.
why was dissection continued on the
two bodies yesterday after one was found
to be Illegally secured?" was asked.
why shouldn't it have besn?"
''Is dissection being continued today on
the one remaining?"
II suppose SO; why not?"
''Well, the fact of two out of three
bodies found at that medical college be-
ing found to be stolen would arouse in
the minds of most people a suspicion
that the third was stolen. too"
"Oh, not necessarily; they needn't stop
WoFR on tnat account.
Ex-Chief Justice Horton a trustee of
the college says about the object of this
afternoons meeting:
when l heard of this I sent word to
the faculty that a meeting should be
held and if they do not know who does
those things to try to ferret it out. The
object of the meeting this afternoon is to
aid in finding out who did it."
A1r. Horton has notified the county at
torney that he will help him all he can in
finding out who did it, and in securing
punishment for the guilty parties.
County Attorney Stafford is certain of
finding the right persons. "Ive got
plenty of things to work on" he said to-
day.
