Meetings of the Daughters of Isabella and Division 5, Ladies Auxiliary, A. o. H., were held last evening and resolutions adopted concerning the death of Father McGurk. He was spiritual advisor to both organizations on various occasion. Representatives were chosen to attend the funeral to- day.
 Ministers Pay Tribute
 Another unusual tribute to the late pastor of the Mother Catholic church of Waterbury was tfe spe- cial meeting yesterday afternoon of the Waterbury Ministers, Asso- citation. It was voted to have mem bers of the organization meet at 9:45 o'clock this morning and march in a body to the church. The association also took occasion to adopt the following resolution:
 With grateful recollections of the sympathetic cooperation and friendliness of Rev William J. McGurk in matters of vital con- cern to the Christian forces of the city of Waterbury, the members of the Waterbury Ministers Associa ton record their great sense of loss in his passing and express to the clergy and laity of his late parish their profound sympathy.
 Father McGurk was great leader of great church, but his influence extended far beyond the confines of his own church and parish. His spiritual and moral leadership was felt by our entire community. We wish to give ex' precision to our warm apprecia- ton of the spirit of cooperation and friendly interest which he at all times displayed toward the work of our Protestant churches. and other organizations in the city.
 "We especially commend the. leadership which he gave to the cause of week day religious e6uca- tion for the benefit of all the chill dren of Waterbury.
 ''The magnificent Immaculate Conception church will long stand in the center of Waterbury as a monument to his strength of leadership.
 we ask the blessing of Almigh- ty God upon him and his loved ones, his church and parish, in this hour of great loss and bereave- ment.

 dent,

 dent,

FARMER, 81, KILLED
AS BARN BURNS in
KINTIRE TOWNSHIP
Overcome While Driving Stock
From Burning Barn
Tuesday Night
BODY FOUND NEAR DOOR
Livestock, Machinery Destroyed
With Owner; Lived in
State 81 Years

While risking his life to save the
livestock, Olaf Scokke, 67-year-old
Belview farmer, was killed Tuesday
night in his burning barn.
Neighbors who rushed to the fire
about $50 p. m. found his charred
body lying over a door sill where he
evidently collapsed on the brink OF
safety as he attempted to escape the
intense heat.
Although the barn had caved in
behind him, Mr.. Scokke's body bore
no signs of having been struck by
falling timbers. The body was lying
face downward as if he had fallen
forward in attempting to escape.
Coroner Called
Neighbors notified Coroner A. w.
Hubbard who Investigated and found
where Mr.. Scokke had cut ropes by
which horses and cattle were tied in
the stalls. Indications in the ruined
barn are that Mr.. Scokke tried to
drive the livestock to safety and when
he failed in this attempt, failed also
to reach safety.
The origin of the barn fire is un-
known. 1t was discovered by neigh
bors when the flames lighted the sky
and the Belview fire department was
called. 1t arrived too late to extin-
guish the flames before they had al
most completely wrecked the barn.
Three head of horses, four head OF
cattle, all Of the harnesses, hay loft
full OF hay, and many farm tools
such as hay forks, shovels and bask-
cts were also destroyed.
Was a Bachelor
Mr.. Hubbard took the body to the
undertakers at Belview and pronounc-
ed it death by accident.
Mr.. Scokke was a bachelor and liv-
ed alone on his farm. He came to
America 81 years ago and settled in
Minnesota. He moved to the farm
near Belview several years ago. He
was born in Norway in December,
1864.
A brother, Jacob, is the only rela-
tive living near Belview. He lives
four miles north of there. Funeral
services probably will be held today.
