Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen
October 7, 1904
Mr. Albert G. Koch, a resident of Kaukauna
for the past 17 years, is readily recognized. He has always been one of our
active and progressive citizens ready at all times to assist in the welfare of
the city. He was elected as a Republican to the office of justice of the peace
on the north side six years ago and is now a candidate for sheriff of Outagamie
County. The Times endorses him for this office.
The Kaukauna “Elites”
baseball team. Seated in front are, Jim Jones, Otto Minkebige. Second row: Fred
Hamilton, Joe Driessen, Joe Jansen, Frank Berens. Top row: Henry Minkebige,
Vernon Murchie, Ted Elsworth, Will Eiting, Cy Driessen and Dan Powers.
The Elites seem to be
playing a much better game of ball towards the last of the season. They added
another scalp to their string Sunday afternoon by defeating the strong team of
the Union Bag and Paper Company by a score of 14 to 7 at the Kaukauna park.
The fine new aquarium
lately installed at Hotel Brothers suddenly burst flooding the floor of the
office, making a lively scramble for dry positions amongst those who were
spending a few leisure moments in that popular hostelry. Most of the fish
contained in the tank were saved by quickly gathering them into pails and other
receptacles.
The annual kermis at
Hollandtown drew the usual large number from Kaukauna last Monday and Tuesday.
Despite the rain bus loads went out Monday evening and didn’t return until
daybreak.

Konkapot Creek has been
on a rampage again this week caused by the excessive rains. The water was so
high Sunday night that it backed over the road east of the Creek and flooded
the entire flats near Coppes place.
A father may thrash his
son till stripes are raised without being liable to arrest for assault,
provided the boy is not old enough to have his dignity injured according to a
decision by a circuit court in Sheboygan.
John Verstegen, chief
of the Little Chute fire department, has placed a small box with a glass front
in the engine house door. The key for the engine house door is in the box and
whenever there is an alarm the first person to reach the engine house can get
the key. An alarm gong will soon be set in the posit on the door.

In the personal injury
suit of Josephine Vanden Bogart against the Marinette and Menominee Paper
company for $20,000 damages was tried at Marinette last week. The jury returned
a verdict for $12,000. Her hair was caught by an exposed screw drive in the
mill resulting with her scalp being torn off and her skull fractured.
Martin Hartjes has
purchased the Arnold Verstegen saloon property in Little Chute on the corner of
Main street and Grand avenue. Steve Saunders will conduct the business for Mr.
Verstegen.

Dr. H.B. Tanner,
president of the board of the Kaukauna Free Public Library, has received a
letter from Mr. Andrew Carnegie's private secretary stating that the site
selected for the proposed library on the property donated by the Green Bay and
Mississippi Canal Company, between the two sides of town on Main Avenue, is
satisfactory and that the $10,000 presented by Mr. Carnegie will be forwarded
in installments of $2,000 and $3,000 as work progresses on the building.
Luther Lindauer has shown himself to
be a man of humane and generous impulses in the actions he has shown toward the
bereaved widow of William Zimmerman. Zimmerman was drowned last week while in
Lindauer’s employment. Mr. Lindauer has not only agreed to pay the $300 mortgage
on the home but promised to pay her husband’s salary just the same every week,
until her son, who is now five years old, is able to undertake the support of
the family.
The Kaukauna High School
football team won the game Saturday from the Oshkosh Highs by the highest score
of any high school in the state, being 63 to 0.
Heavy rains over the past week have softened the Interurban roadbeds and are thought responsible for a derailment north of Kaukauna Saturday evening when the car rolled down an embankment and injured nine workmen who were returning from De Pere.
Over in the Oneida
Reservation the ire of the red men has been brought to the surface. It is all
due to the recent decision of the Department of Interior an order affecting the
money derived from the sale of inherited Indian lands. The proposal is to deposit
the money in United States depositaries to be drawn only in the form of
annuities. The Indians claim that having been declared citizens they have the
same rights as all freeholders. Representatives are now in Washington in the
hope of having the order rescinded.
