The Lawe Street Bridge has been closed to all
vehicular traffic until further notice, as result of action taken by the
Kaukauna council members. This action was taken following a report by the city
engineer that the bridge is in a very bad condition and that traffic over the
span would be dangerous.

Working
under the direction of their new coach, Paul E. Little, prospective stars of
the Kaukauna High School football team have already been engaged in strenuous

squad.

Three home runs, two by Kawmen and one by Skell
of Kim-Little Chute enlivened proceedings in Sunday’s baseball game between
Kaukauna and the former Valley league champs, which was won by Kaukauna to the
tune of 4 to 2. The fracas was well played throughout and featured by the
appearance of Richard “Red” Smith, former New York Giant, Boston Brave and
hometown boy, who caught for the locals.
This is all that
remains of the airplane piloted and owned by Omar Graef of Kaukauna, which
crashed and burned near Neenah on September 8th. The accident caused
the death of one Appleton man and severely burning another. The pilot, who was
slightly burned is facing a charge of flying a plane without a license.
