Albert Schley of
Woodville met with an accident on the south side Monday afternoon. He was
caught in the sudden wind and rainstorm that came up, and for protection sought
refuge against the billboard on the Morgan property on the west end of Second Street.
He had scarcely stopped when the board was blown over with a crash burying him
beneath the debris. His ankle was found to be sprained and chest slightly
bruised, but no broken bones when examined by Dr. Nolan.
Jimmie, son of Wenzel
Wolf of this city, met with a serious accident at the Combined Locks Mill
Tuesday, when his foot became wedged by a piece of machinery and was crushed.
It is thought that the foot will be saved, and he is doing as well as could be
hoped for.

Peter Reuter, pioneer Kaukauna
banker and manufacturer, died at his home on Catherine Street Sunday. Mr.
Reuter was born in Belgium in 1838 and came with his parents to America in
1847. Having acquired a great interest in manufacturing, he left Milwaukee,
where his family had been living, and came to Appleton before moving with his
brother, Alex, to Kaukauna in 1869. Mr. Reuter built a hub and spoke factory.
In 1879, with his brother Alex, they established a State bank. Two years later,
this institution was organized as the Bank of Kaukauna, being named
president. He was also elected mayor of
Kaukauna, holding that position in the years 1887, 1888 and 1894.
