Max Francke , a German farm
er , living 25 miles west of Valen
tine , was burned to death Tuesday
about noon near his home. "He
was so badly burned that he was
scarcely recognizable. All his
clothing was burned oil , excepting
his shoes , and when found was
lying face downward about 125
feet from where his house stood.
A Mr. Ballard , living on the
Port White place , had been burn
ing brush on his garden patch
when the fire got away from him
and swept northward over the
prairies in a high gale of wind.
'John Werich was 'the last man
to see Franka alive and was talk
ing to him when the prairie fire
\vas about half a mile away , * Wer-
ick starting for his home and
Franke going to his where he had
a pocketbook and certificate of de
posit for $350 , part of the pro
ceeds from the recent sale of a
piece of land.
Anton Trap pie was the first to
find Fraake and Ernest Wilson
next saw him.
Franke seems to have gone to
his house and tried to save it from
destruction until his clothing caught
fire and the blinding smoke prob
ably suii'ocated him. He was ap
parently running from his home
afire when he dropped exhausted
and burned to death. He dropped
his pocketbook 60 or 70 feet from
the house and it didn't appear to
be badly burned , brobably being
protected until he was so severely
burned that he ceased to think of
saving anything but himself. The
pocketbook contained a bill but
the certificate of deposit was not
found.
The victim was taken to Geor
gia and sent from there to the Red
Front undertaking establishment.
The deceased was 56 years old and
leaves four daughters and a son ,
living in the eastern part of Neb.
