Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen KAHS
October 1, 1886
The walls of the new
Catholic school building are now complete as far as the first story and now
begin to assume a very handsome appearance. The structure will be a great ''
ornament to the city of Kaukauna.”
Four vacant dwelling
houses in south Kaukauna for rent. Fine locations and convenient to business
portion of the city. Will rent at prices ranging from $7 to $12 per month. For
information apply to Manufactures Bank south Kaukauna.
Sheriff Hoefer came
down from Appleton on Monday last to secure a witness in a case before a court
in that city. The person whom he wished to secure did not wish to go and the
sheriff had a hard time to serve the papers on him. After a chase the whole
length of 3d street, in which the runners had narrow escapes from slipping and
covering themselves with mud, (not glory) the sheriff captured his man and
returned home in triumph.

A big black bear about
450 lbs. was seen at Wrightstown on Monday last, approaching almost within the
village limits. Hunters from that burg shouldered their guns and started in
pursuit of the animal. The bear made a miraculous escape despite the number of
times he was shot at.
In the case of Mary
Chopin vs Mrs. Green, both of Kaukauna, which was tried before Justice Heineman
yesterday, the jury found the defendant guilty of an assault, but recommended
that the fine be nominal, as it appeared from the evidence that it was a neighborly
fight. The Justice therefore fined the woman $1 and costs, amounting in all to
$41.65. The case is not likely to be appealed.

The first game of
baseball for the championship of the world, between the St. Louis “Browns” of
the American League and the Chicago “Whites” of the National League, was played
at Chicago Monday and resulted in a victory for Chicago with a score of 5 to 0.

Superintendent
Anderson’s monthly report submitted at the School Board meeting last night,
shows that the present average enrollment per first grade teacher is 83 and
that four half-day classes in the school have 108 to 130 children per teacher.
This is cruelty to teachers even more exasperating than any ordinary act of
cruelty to animals, which would prompt the Humane Society to take action.
Wanted - a Lady Clerk – A competent saleslady can find
employment by applying at Aug. Mill's store, South Kaukauna. Applicant should
be able to speak both English and German. References required.
There is but one
opinion of visitors relative to the future of Kaukauna, and that opinion is the
most flattering. Within the past two months the city has been visited by many
people from near and far, who have heard of the place, its wonderful
water-power and natural advantages for manufacturing facilities but had never
beheld the sights with their own eyes. Their only wonderment on seeing the
place and learning the possibilities that are in store for us is that capital
is so slow to take advantage of the surroundings by locating factories, machine
shops and mills here. There is not another city in Wisconsin, and we doubt if
there is one in all the western states that has a better water power, better
building material or better surroundings for a manufacturing city than
Kaukauna.

Burglars entered the
residence of Peter Rademacher one-night last week but failed to make a
"Haul" as Mr. R. and his son happened to be awake and took after the
thieves with double barrel shot guns.
The excitement in
regard to the natural gas discoveries near Dundas has not died, but is only resting.
Mr. Peter Killian Jr., on whose farm the most copious flow of gas was
discovered, has been in communication with the Standard Oil Co., and they will
soon send an expert to make tests and a thorough investigation. It would be no
surprise to see petroleum exported from Calumet County.
John Kavanaugh and J.
Thornton were injured by a runaway team on Sunday last. At the time of the
accident Mr. Kavanaugh was driving and in making too short a turn capsized the
buggy and throwing him out, the horse starting on a run. Mr. Thornton going to
Kavanaugh’s assistance, slipped and fell, spraining his arm. The horse had not
run very far when he stumbled and fell upon his head, breaking his neck.

The Sun Publishing Co.
has received a proof of their bird's eye view of Kaukauna. The pictures are
very fine and as nearly correct as it is possible to make a view. Every
building in the city is distinctly shown, and at a glance one can with ease,
locate any place in the city with which he is familiar.
