A very exciting game of
basketball was played between Little Chute High School at De Pere Wednesday
night. Our boys gave the game to De Pere by a score of 64-4.
Arnold Ristau and Robert Regenfuss, of
Kaukauna, both said to being under the influence of liquor Sunday night, failed
in an effort to whip the Appleton police force. When confronted by the police
Ristau and Regenfuss resented the interference and engaged in a fist fight.
Ristau knocked down one officer and proceeded to muss up the rest. Night sticks
were finally used to subdue the pair. They spent the night in the Appleton jail
nursing their battered heads and were reigned the next day on charges of
disorderly conduct. A fine of $25.00 and cost was assigned each of the men.
Roy Pomeroy, of Kaukauna, appeared before Judge
Monahan in Green Bay on Wednesday afternoon to give testimony as to the
shooting of Otto Lambrecht by a marine mail guard on Sunday morning last week.
The boys were fired upon as they attempted to catch a ride on the train.
Governor Blaine order the arrest of the marine.
As shown by the 1921 report Outagamie County
has 5,445 automobiles. This is an increase of 1,123 over 1920. The assessed
value of the automobiles in the county is $2,138,891. Motorcycles in the county
are assisted at $2,665.
Rev. Daniel Woodward began his pastoral work in
the Kaukauna Congregational church last Sunday.

The chemical auto of
the city fire dept. responded to a call at the home of Herman Konrad, Desnoyer
Street, and Friday evening to extinguish a chimney fire. Very little damage was
done.

The Jacob Coppus Post
No. 258 held its regular meeting Monday night. Ralph Lowell resigned as Post
Commander. The vacancies were filled by Joseph Lenz and John G. Hermsen.
The unemployment canvass in the city of
Kaukauna brought to light there are 19 married men and 6 single men who are at
present out of work. One man has been placed at work through the aid of the
committee and it is hoped that the remaining number may be placed at work
before long.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Johnson and baby of Little Chute narrowly escaped injury Monday afternoon when
the sleigh in which they were driving south along Lawe Street, overturned.
While nearing the Bank of Kaukauna, Mr. Johnson attempted to turn out from the
car tracks. The runner caught on the rail, the sleigh tipping and throwing the occupants
out. Fortunately, the fall was not great and with the exception of a rather severe
shaking up, the party escaped injury.
The Kaukauna Lumber company which has the first
electrically driven sawmill in the world, is doing a small amount of repairing
on it. A large crew of men are on hand to handle the large number of logs
already on hand. Sleighing is excellent and numerous farmers are already
bringing in their logs for sawing.
Above is a picture of three little children deserted by their father and whose mother is sick in a hospital. The grandparents are caring for them as best they can with their small pension. The children are 3, 5 and 7. Their names will be gladly furnished on application at The Times. These young children should not be penalized for the misdeeds of their parents.

The Seymour High School
basketball teams played the local high school team at Watry's Hall, Little
Chute, and romped away with two victories. The boys were defeated by a score of
15 to 17 and the girls lost by a 6 to 2 score.
