Fred Louin, of the town
of Freedom, and Edward Schultz of Appleton, were delayed about 2 hours on the
Kaukauna road, while driving from this city to Freedom. A pine snake estimated at 12 feet in length,
and 15 inches through was lying across a point, 7 miles from this city, and
despite their efforts to scare it away the huge reptile calmly remained in the
road and denied passage. One of the parties was compelled to go back to the
first farm house, a distance of 3 miles, procure a rifle; but upon return the
snake had gone, and they continued on their way.
One hundred and ten ring horses of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show were crushed to death in a railroad wreck near Lexington,

favorite saddle horse. “Old Eagle” the star ring horse was also killed. Cody is
heartbroken over the slaughter. He said that the loss is $60,000. The accident
was a result of a head-on collision.

Did you read the other
day about the man falling off his bicycle and cutting his throat so badly with
his collar that he bled to death? This never would have occurred had the collar
been laundered at the Hand Laundry for we leave no rough edges on our work.
The football team of the Kaukauna High school
added another victory to the credit last Saturday by defeating the East Green
Bay High by the score of 11 to 10. The shady work was done by the players and
not the crowd as the game proceeded. It was in the second half that the team
began “playing dirt” with the Kaukauna team. After an advancement on the field
by Kaukauna the ball was placed on the ground by the referee for the second down
when one of the Green Bay players seized the ball and ran almost the entire
length of the field for a touchdown. Referee Morton ordered the ball to be
brought back and given back to Kaukauna who had possession of it before it was
stolen by the Green Bay team. The Green Bay team refused to play unless they
were allowed the touchdown. Rather than see the game come to so sudden end the
Kaukauna team captain Nelson ordered his team back on the field to continue to
play.
Mail Delayed - Charles Peters,
postmaster at Little Chute, was discovered to be suffering with an attack of

power from the Fox River.

Old Hotel to be
Reopened

hotel building which stands at the corner of 3rd Street and Reaume Avenue, has
led contracts this week for a general overhauling of the place so it can again
be opened. The hotel will, when renovated and remodeled, be placed in charge of
a competent person and run as an exclusive rooming house. The hotel, with
additional rooms, will help provide accommodations for the many railroad boys
who are constantly being turned away for lack of sufficient rooms at the
Thompson club.

number of deer killed by a single hunter to two, but no limitations as to the

A bank, to be called
the Farmers and Traders Bank, with a capital of $25,000 is to be established in
Wrightstown.
As a preventative of the many accidents which
occur during the deer shooting season from some careless hunter mistaking men
for deer, a correspondence suggests that no license be issued to anyone unless
he wears a bright red coat and cap - with a heavy fine for hunting deer without
the scarlet uniform. But the fellow who can't distinguish a man from a deer
probably would think that a red deer would be worth shooting in order to
preserve its skin as a mere curiosity.
