Franklin Man
Found Deadin
RuinsofHo1ne
BELIEVE HEART GAVE
OUT AS HE FLED
FROM FLAMES

Leander SakSe, "a, Franklin
bachelor, died apparently of a
heart attack while his flaming
clothes burned him past recogni-
ton. the home in which he was
living was RACED and his automo-
bile was partially destroyed early
Sunday morning.
Neighbors were attracted to the
Halleck Peterson farm in Camp
township two miles southeast of
Franklin about a. m. Sunday by
a fire which burned the house to
the ground.
Saske, a farm hand VINO was
staying alone in the house, was
found Slumped in the seat of his
Model A Ford roadster, his arm
resting on the horn which was
still sounding as they approached
the scene of the tragedy.
Evidence showed that the house
had caught afire probably from a
kerosene lamp and that Sakse had
thrown a few belongings into a
suitcase and attempted to flee.
Apparently his clothing caught
fire as he ran to the car parked
only about three feet from the
house. One foot was still resting
on the running board when he
was found.
It is believed that he died of
heart failure just as he entered
the automobile and his clothing
set the car ablaze. Remains of
the suitcase were found near the
the car.
He had no known relatives and
burial was Monday at the Fin
nish cemetery in Camp.

SENIORS TOLD OF
FASCINATION IN
BUILDING LIVES

With the text "This Man Began
to Build" as the foundation for
the annual baccalaureate sermon,
Rev. G.. E. Martin of the Method
list church talked to the SO mem
bers of the class of 1887 and their
relatives and friends on 'The
Romance of Building a Life"
Sunday evening in the Lincoln
auditorium.
There is fascination in build
ing anything" he said, from the
lowliest hut to the most magni-
ficent monument, and particularly
SO when the object of that effort
remains mistaken by the ele-
ments and other antagonistic
forces.
''Of all possible construction, "
he continued, "the greatest salts
faction and romance is in build
ing a life. No matter what the
early environment, a life can be
so perfected that its influence can
be worldwide" Rev. Martin il
Illustrated this statement by recall
ing the insignificant beginning of
Moses who became the worlds
greatest law-giver; David the
shepherd boy, known later as
the greatest of kings; Paul, the
most important of early mission
aries; Jesus of Nazareth, whose
influence has lived through the
centuries and our own Abraham
Lincoln.
The service began with the pro-
cessional march played by Jeanne
Beckstrand when the seniors led
by Alice Lauterbach and Richard
Anthony, Junior class officers, en-
tered. Seated on the rostrum
were the city's pastors of whom
Rev. Godfrey O'Sullivan, Rev.
Martin, Rev. J. P. Linn and Rev.
c. c. Swalwen took part. The
combined girls and boys glee
clubs sang group of songs and
the audience joined in two hymns,
