Bert W. Fargo was elected mayor of
Kaukauna at today's election, defeating the incumbent, Dr. W. C. Sullivan, by a
count of 1,236 to 896. Mr. Fargo is a well-known businessman, having conducted
a furniture store here for a number of years.
Phil Zwick, Kaukauna’s rattling good
featherweight, who has been making his headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, stopped
off at Buffalo, N. Y., one-night last week and handed Johnny Helstein a tasty
whipping in ten rounds. The Buffalo youth had been coming along fast up to the
time he met Zwick.

scoured the country. The boys were found by Edward Kaphingst near the cheese
factory at Little Chicago tired and hungry but on their way home.
