Hobart relatives last week told them that the absentee lives on a ranch in the west. He is well along in years now, having been the oldest of the children of ilr. and Mrs. Mat Franzen. The latter were among the pioneers at Turkey Creek. The father of the family died possessed of considerable property which was divided among the children. At the time the will was made Mat, the oldest son, was thought dead and his name was omitted. The last will and testament, however, did not dispose of several Hobart lots, and consequently two years ago Fred "Buck" Franz

en, a brother of the absentee, in order to clear the title on this property, which was to be divided among the remaining brothers and sisters, commenced action to have the brother declared legally dead. The Hammond law firm of McMahon & Conroy prepared the petition and , represented the family in court, ana the first inkling that they had was last night when Mr. Conroy read the Hobart items in The Times. Fred Franzen was appointed administrator, but now that hi& brother has been heard from the administration matters can easily be wound up. At the time proceedings were instituted declaring Mathias Franzen legally dead, proper notices were inserted in The Times and in one Indianapolis paper. The Franzen family is among the best known In Lake county. Fred Franzen, who Is a Hobart business man and owns considerable property In Hammond and Gary.
