Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen
May 5, 1905
A new double-fed
newspaper folder has been purchased to be added to The Times equipment, and
when installed, the form of the paper will be changed and enlarged.
On May 1st, the
ownership of the Times passed to a new firm Raught and Winsey, who succeeded in
co-partnership to the entire possessions of the plant. The new addition in the
firm is Mr. Charles J. Winsey.
A burglar, whose
operations would indicate that he was perfectly at home about the place, made
his way into the Transient Saloon in the Central Block on Main Avenue, sometime
Tuesday night and stole $19.

Kaukauna Lodge No. 962,
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, was organized in this city last
Saturday, starting out with a membership of twenty-four charter members.
Delegates were present from Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Oshkosh, Green Bay, Two
Rivers, Neenah-Menasha, and Appleton to welcome the new members.
A man whose appearance
would indicate the vocation of tramping, had both feet severed stepping down
from his perch between the mail car while stealing a ride on passenger train
No. 5 Ashland division yesterday afternoon at Tigerton. He is currently in serious
condition.

Thousands of feet of
new cement sidewalks and curbing are being laid in Kaukauna this season.
Because of damages
incurred by Edward Balgie, principal of the Little Chute public school, damages
to the extent of $5000 have been sued against the Wisconsin Traction company.
On Sunday evening April 9th, Professor Balgie was riding on the car
and made his payment with a five-cent coin. The conductor refused to accept the
coin saying that it was a “slug,” and ejected Balgie from the cat, at a point
about a mile from Appleton. He was forced to walk to Appleton and stay
overnight.
The greatest fire that
Appleton has ever experienced occurred Monday morning. The Riverside Fibre and
Paper Company’s pulp mill took fire while a crew over 100 men were employed.
The loss will probably be approximately $125,000.

Four members of the
Kaukauna High School track team who won places at the Northeastern Wisconsin
Interscholastic Athletic Meet on Saturday last at Appleton left today for the
state contest at Madison. They were Ed Lindberg, Raymond Dietzler, Mark Hayes, and
Arnold Otto.
A concert will be given
by the Mill & Nugent Silver Cornet Band in front of Tanner's Drug Store on
Saturday, honoring the 25th anniversary of Dr. Tanner's arrival in Kaukauna,
when the south side of town consisted of nothing but woods. Dr. Tanner has been
very instrumental in the development of Kaukauna during the past quarter of a
century.

An attractive feature of St. Mary’s church of
Kaukauna is the grotto of the Lady of Lourdes. Inasmuch as such representations
are not commonly found in Catholic churches.
