The operations of the
pickpockets last week have been followed by numerous reports from property
holders whose various residences have been entered and robbed of lead pipe
connections in the kitchen. In nearly every instance the thieves made away with
from ten to twelve feet, using a saw in making the disconnections. One of the
latest residences visited belongs to Henry Mau and is located near Eden Park.
No other part of the house was molested.

Tim McCarthy narrowly
escaped being killed at the site of the new electric power plant Tuesday morning
by falling a distance of thirty feet, landing on solid rock. Those who saw the
accident claim that he turned a complete somersault, landing on his feet. He
complained of his ankle which upon examination was found broken and also
suffered intense pain in his back.
The Thilmany Pulp and
Paper Company have had plans drawn for a large warehouse to be located just
back of the superintendent's office, extending from there to the railroad track
at the rear of the mill, a distance of 130 feet. It will be 44 feet wide, 130
feet long and two stories in height, with heavy timber construction and will be
finished with fire proof covering to match the building to which it will be
joined.

From now on the rock
removed from the tail race of the new electric power plant will not accumulate
as fast, as large quantities are being crushed by Lindauer stone crusher and
shipped to Appleton where it is being used in the streets. The Hackworthy
Construction company which is doing the blasting has the contract for paving
Appleton and Oneida streets and a portion of College avenue and are using about
4 car loads per day.

The Green Bay
interurban car due here at 11:45 a.m. Monday got beyond control of Motorman Henry
Rasmussen and left the rails at the sharp curve at the corner of Kaukauna and
Taylor streets. There were eight passengers in the car at the time besides the
motorman and conductor six of whom were slightly injured. The car struck the
curve with sufficient force to throw it a distance of several feet. It landed
on its side and landed headed down Taylor Street.

Because of complaints
registered, Wisconsin Traction, Light, Heat and Power Company have issued an
order prohibiting interurban conductors from assisting ladies in alighting and
boarding a car. The order holds well in every instance except that of an aged
woman who is unable to assist herself and was issued by the officers of the
company on the complaint of several ladies who claim that the conductors soiled
their shirtwaists.
The Kaukauna Fibre
Company held a meeting here this week and important action was taken in regard
to their affairs. Instead of closing down as reports have had it together, they
are to commence next week the work of deepening their tail race and also are
putting in a new and improved wheel, in order to make a better water power. The
tail race will be made three feet deeper necessitating the removal of 300 cords
of stone. The deepening process will extend from their mill to the main race.
