Kaukauna Time Machine trip to March 1884

 Kaukauna Times – March 1884

By Lyle Hansen

March 7, 1884

 

There have been several changes in publishing the town paper. The title of the paper has changed, the size has changed, and another editor has stepped in, along with the current editor, E.C. Bidwell. The new name of the paper is the KAUKAUNA AND LEDYARD TIMES, replacing the old title of, simply, THE KAUKAUNA TIMES. The size of the paper has been increased from seven to eight columns. Sharing duties as editor with Mr. Bidwell will be J. D. Lawe. The paper will still come out every Friday as it has in the past.

 

On Thursday evening of last week, several sleigh loads of young people from Appleton drove to this village and indulged in a social party at Town City Hall.

The Indian problem remains unsolved. A band of Piegan Indians stole a herd of ponies from the Crow reservation. The Piegan were all caught, and the ponies were returned to the Crow reservation.
