Kaukauna Times

Burglars broke into M.
Reid's saloon near the depot on Friday night of last week and carried away
about $9.00 in cash. They apparently helped themselves to what liquor and
cigars they wanted, leaving the boxes and bottles laying on the counter. There
is no clue as to who the parties are.
Tuesday of next week
will be held the first municipal election of the city of Kaukauna. First class
men have been nominated to fill the important offices and unless a majority of
the voters should go astray, nothing less than a miracle can prevent a good
city government for at least one year.
The KAUKAUNA AND
LEDYARD TIMES, which was formerly THE KAUKAUNA TIMES, will return to its
original title, now that Kaukauna and Ledyard have combined as one incorporated
city. THE TIMES will still be published every Friday as in the past, and E.C.
Bidwell will remain the editor of the paper.
Cadillac, Mich., - Two woodsmen who were coming here on snowshoes
yesterday morning found an Indian camp on the Pune River with only one Indian
girl as the survivor of a party of seven. She had been four days without food.
They took her to the nearest settlement and buried the six bodies in the snow.
They were a band of Ottawa’s and the snow was too deep to permit them to hunt
and they died from exhaustion.
Tuesday last was a great day in Kaukauna, and
not-withstanding the rainy weather there was quite a heavy vote polled. The
city of Kaukauna has completed its first election and a mayor, and other
officials have been elected. Col. H. A. Frambach has been voted in as
the city's first mayor. He is a fine man and leader and will certainly fill the
post as mayor in the best way possible. Others elected in the municipal
election include P. M. Charlesworth as clerk, Peter Nettekoven as treasurer,
Jos. S. Feller as assessor, and Jas. Simons and H. J. Mulholland as justices.
Horry, Ga., - One of the sheriffs’ deputies was sent to
take a mule into possession of a citizen of that country. The owner pointed to
his stables saying: “The mule what you come after is in the stable. I see you
got the rights to go in after him, but I don’t see that you are provided with the
authority to come out again. Betsey, bring me my shotgun.” The deputy returned
but he did not bring the mule.

It is to be hoped that the sidewalks leading to our schoolhouses will be among the first improvements made in the city this year. The North side school building is located in a place where children are obliged to go into mud ankle deep, on their way to school, and it is no more than right that this evil should be remedied as soon as possible.
Albert Koepp, a 3-year-old
child, whose parents live in the town of Wauwatosa, was accidentally killed on
the 10th. A clothesline attached to an outhouse was hung full of clothes
and was caught by a strong wind causing the outhouse toppled over on him.

It is said that the
increase in the price of liquor license from $75 to $200 will decrease the
number of saloons in Kaukauna from thirty to twenty-five. At Little Chute there
will probably be down to three saloons.
Word has been received
that Gen. Grant has been feeling better. It is ascertained that his disease is
not cancer.

The President issued a
proclamation annulling the executive order of President Arthur, opening the
Winnebago and Crow Creek Indian Reservation in Dakota and ordered all settlers
to vacate the lands within sixty days.
