DR.DAKE PASSES AWAY FRIDAY
Impressive Masonic Funeral Held at
Viola Sunday Afternoon.

After most intense suffering over a
period of many months, the spirit of
DR.. A. j. Dake of Viola found blessed
release in death last Friday. The
worn form was laid to its last rest
Sunday afternoon, more than a thou
sand people gathering at the Dake
home to pay their last measure of de-
votion to this kindly man whom every
one loved. The quartette rendered
three beautiful and comforting select
ions. Rev. Vincent, Methodist pastor
at Darlington, formerly of Viola, de-
livered a most mastery address, pay
ing a deep and sincere tribute to the
noble qualities of the deceased, and
comparing the life of man to the leaf
that today is and tomorrow is not,
yet, unlike the leaf, possessing that
immortal spark which shall endure
throughout eternity. Rev. Gibson
rendered deep and thoughtful prayer.
The scene at the beautiful Viola
cemetery was most impressive. While
his Masonic brethren surrounded the
grave and the Viroqua Commandery of
Knights Templar stood at attention,

cred the thrilling Masonic burial ser

Templar stood at attention, SirKnight
Nye, acting as master, delivered the
thrilling Masonic burial service like
an ancient patriarch, his voice firm
and expressive despite his snow-white
head hoary with the weight Of many
years. The glory and beauty of the
day, the solemnity of the occasion, the
presence of the brothers and uniform
ed Knights, the hundreds of sorrowing
friends-all combined together as a
proper and fitting tribute to the mem
DRY of the good man gone.
As years go, DIR. Dake was get COM
paratively young, but his life was long
in the rich fruits of Christian charac-
ter. He was "a. The widow and
three daughters survive. The only
son, Lieutenant Jsstin Dake, killed in
France, was laid to rest at Viola only
five days before the burial of his
father.

Place Fire Damage
 At$12,OOO

Carelessness of some employe in tossing a lighted cigarette cigar into pile of hay, is thought to be responsible for the fire which dam aged a barn and shed of the Nauga- tuck Valley Ice Company, in Glen wood avenue, to the extent of $12,- 900 yesterday afternoon. One horse was burned to death in the conflag- ration but 12 others were led to saf- ety before the flames could reach them.
 The blaze was first discovered by an employe of the company, and an alarm was turned in from box 463, at 3:14 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A second alarm was sounded a few min utes later and four companies were soon on the scene. Eight pieces of apparatus were used in fighting the flames.
 When the firemen arrived at the blaze~ smoke and flames were burst ing from the windows and roof of the barn, a. two-story cement block build ing. The fire soon spread to a long wooden shed attached to the main barn however, and tons of hay stored in this structure were destroyed.
 A survey of the buildings this morning, showed that the interior of the big barn, with the exception of a harness and supply room on the second floor was badly burned. The interior of the shed was practically ruined, but good work on the part of the firemen, saved the residence of Stablemaster Dixon, located close-by, from destruction. All of the furni- ture in the house was removed to the yard during the fire.
