The offices of Brenner
and Siebe and Santler Bedat were entered by sneak thieves Tuesday night but
nothing of any value was lost by either firm. Due to the crude way in which the
thieves went about their business, it is thought they were amateurs.
According to a telegram received Thursday the
body of John Van Linn, who was killed in action in France arrived in N. J.
Wednesday night. The body will arrive in Kaukauna next week.
