An advertisement in the lost column of The Times,
plus the honesty of the finder, makes a combination hard to beat. So testifies

advertisement then the honest lad that he is, lost no time in returning the
purse to the owner.
A light truck belonging to George Anderson,
mail messenger of Kaukauna post office, eventually heard the call of the wild
Monday afternoon about 4:00 pm and proceeded to leave for unknown places. Mr.
Anderson had parked his car in front of the post office, when it suddenly, for
no reason, decided to find a new resting place. Unattended and without a
driver, it rolled down the hill on Main Ave. Turning to the left and going down
the street toward the high school. But it didn't go far without the driver's
hand on the wheel as it came to stop at the foot of a ditch.

Phillips – A two-legged wolf’s carcass was
presented for bounty in the county clerk's office here. Evidently the animal
had been caught in the trap sometime before as a large part of the hind legs
was missing probably torn off when the wolf extracted itself from a trap.
