Kaukauna Times

Last Sunday was an
important day in the history of the Holy Cross congregation, for it marked the
dedication of their beautiful new house of worship, and the consecration of the
magnificent marble altar thereof, the ceremonies being carried out perfectly.
During the morning service also, the magnificent new pipe organ was heard for
the first time by the congregation, being played by Rev. Father Dobelstein of
De Pere.
Rt. Rev. Msgr. Lochman Pastor at Holy Cross
Louis Kemp lost three fingers on his right hand,
the result of an accident at the Kimberley mill last Friday morning.
Albert Goss and Simon Borchardt escaped very
serious injuries Monday night when a beater machine at the Union Bag mill
broke, and they were stuck with a beater knife. Mr. Borchardt suffered a slight
concussion and lacerations. Mr. Goss was
struck in the side and was rather severely injured.
Emil Hein came out lucky when he was struck on
the forehead with a piece of iron casting when a grinder stone exploded at the
Fox River pulp mill on the canal a few days ago. Mr. Hines was standing within
2 feet of the shaft running the stone when it burst and went through the roof
of the mill, knocking him backwards. A large chunk then came back through the
roof and landed on the spot where he had been standing.
Lambert Reynolds, a third hand at the Thilmany
pulp paper mill, lost four fingers on his left-hand Monday morning. He was
cutting paper on the ream cutter on the knife and severed the fingers.
Michael Verstegen is sporting a brand-new
uniform with shiny brass buttons this week, which in addition to his star,
helps to emphasize the fact that Little Chute’s
law and order is conspicuously in evidence.

Fritzie Langlois, of the south side, fell
through the iron railing of the bridge near Renn’s office last evening
fracturing his arm. The railing seemed to have been loose and gave away when
the boy came in contact with it.
The proposed site for the new Outagamie
Training school building just east of the Hotel La Salle on the elevation
facing Wisconsin Ave. was purchased this week by northside parties.
The Little Chute baseball team of the Fox River
Valley league was formally organized this week. Doctor J. F. Doyle was elected
president.
The cars of Fred Merbach and F. F. Becker
collided on Kimberly Rd. between Appleton and Kimberly last Thursday night.
Edith Sadlier, riding in the front seat of the Merbach car was hurled through
the windshield by the impact of the collision. She received cuts about her face
and bruises but was not seriously injured. Both cars were very badly damaged in
the collision.
Albert Verhagen driving his Ford car containing
his wife and two other passengers tipped over at the Little Chute bridge and
dumped the car and passengers into the river. The car landed upside down and
Mr. Verhagen was able to get out and turn the car upright to get the passengers
out.

John Brill, pioneer of Outagamie County, one of
the most prominent residents of this section of the Fox river valley, died at
his home in the Town of Buchanan about 9:30 last evening at 72 years of age.
Renn and Company have joined the progressive
Kaukauna firms which have motor trucks. The company has purchased a truck of
one ton capacity from William Van Lieshout, the Lawe street Ford dealer.
Civil War Figures - In the course of the Civil war, in round numbers, 2,000,000 men enlisted on the Union side and 1,000,000 on the Confederate. The total number of deaths in the north was over 300,000. It is not known how many Confederates gave up their lives but is believed in the range between 250,000 and 300,000.
