Time Machine Trip to November 1922

 Kaukauna Times – November 1922

By Lyle Hansen

November 2, 1922

Kaukauna experienced a very quiet Halloween with the absence of any number of outlandish pranks. Of course, the store windows received their yearly coating of soap, wax and what-not, but no real trouble was caused by anyone.

The garage of Joe Kuehn, Fifth Street was broken into early Wednesday morning and a 1916 Ford touring car stolen. Through the efforts of Chief McCarty, the car was located several hours later in the town of Kaukauna where it was abandoned by the thief. The car contained a large number of freshly killed chickens.

The Lindauer stone quarry was sold recently to the Ground Wood Pulp Company by Luther Lindauer who operated it since 1895. His first load of stone was hauled to the Odd Fellows building on Second Street which was being constructed at that time.

Kaukauna people who chanced to see a chicken perched on top of an automobile that drove into town last Saturday were amused at the sight. Master Cock-a-doodle-doo vigorously protested being yanked down from his lofty seat by the farmer.

The Martens store building which was practically destroyed in a $50,000 fire in the spring of this year has again resumed some of the appearance it possessed before the flames. Contractor Julius Hahneman with a crew of four men has practically completed the re-building.

E. A. Kalupa has purchased the corner lot on Main Avenue and Fifth Street, opposite the residence of Otto Look and will erect a new store building to which it is his intention to move his bakery from its present site.

Near tragedy averted as two machines came together at the corner of Main Avenue and Second Street. The collision involved a Keppner and Feldt truck and one car owned by Joe De Brue. The fenders on both machines were badly bent but no one was injured.

 

The Mulford basketball squad held its first practice Sunday afternoon. The team is made up practically the same members from last season and expect to be even better this year.

Alphonse Berens, who has been the reporter and advertising man of the Kaukauna Times for more than a year past, has severed his connection with this paper. He recently took the civil service examination for a post office appointment and has received word that he passed at the head of a list of thirty-three examiners.

The Kaukauna American Legion football squad is again the State Amateur Football champions, for the second consecutive year. The Legion team defeated Marinette Sunday afternoon by the score of 10 to 6. The team was the first to defeat or score upon the Marinette team this season. The last loss the Legion team sustained was on October 3, 1920, when the local team was defeated by the Green Bay Packers 56-0.
