Hello Fellow Time
Travelers,
Well it’s
time to fire up the old “Time
Machine and travel back in time to May
of 1912.
For today’s trip Jer Sanderfoot will be sitting in the front seat and operating the
Time Machine. The big wheel is spinning,
the years are clicking back and in no time, we are back on East Second Street on Kaukauna’s Southside.
Charlie
has left the papers for us on the chair out front of the Times office.

For lack of power in the Green Bay Traction Line
one trip was lost Sunday afternoon. The Kaukauna car was stalled on the corner
of Kaukauna and Taylor streets having reached that point just when they were
leaving for Green Bay. Many people went to see what caused the stoppage
thinking the car had left the track, as this was the point where a bad wreck
occurred several years ago.

| 1912 Ladies Hat |
Burgettstown, Pa. – At the point of a
revolver Miss Margaret Gribben is alleged to have walked Henry Tiltron out of
the theater and delivered him to the office of the justice of the peace. The
trouble occurred over the refusal of the young woman to remove her hat. Tiltron
sat behind Miss Gribben and he asked her to remove her hat so he could see.
Later the manager of the theater preferred a charge against Miss Gribben of
carrying a concealed weapon. A hearing will be held late today. No charges were referred
against Mr. Tiltron.
