Sauer Store Founded
Fifty Years Ago

May a, 1924, marked the beginning
of another half century of service to
SHADES Corners residents by the Paul
E. and Paul j. Sauer store conducted
in that village for fifty years by the
father and son.
Paul E. Sauer, born at Calumet in
1851, moved with his parents to the
town of Wheatland in 1868 and work
ed as a farm hand for VIM. Ingham,
George Rosenhauer, Thos. Slade and
Orvis Pratt until May 4, 1874, when
he established himself in business.
For many years he was dealer in
general merchandise, carrying small
stock of varied merchandise in build
ing, now used by Herman Seno as a
barn, which then stood on the corner
where Seno Bros. now have their
blacksmith ship, in the little village
southwest of Burlington. q
A few years after the business had
been launched the elder Sauer found
it imperative to build store building
for himself and from that time addi-
tions and improvements have been
made to the store SO well known in
SHADES Corners, until now under the
management of Paul j. Sauer, it is
structure of considerable size, hous-
ing large and prosperous business.
1t was in 1875, through the eager
ness of Paul E. Sauer that SHADES
Corners received its first mail ser
vice, the Pioneer carrying the mail
between Burlington and SHADES Cor
hers without any expense to the gov
eminent. And it was at that time all
so that the village was named SHADES
Corners by him so that it might have
the privilege of mail service. The old
gentleman, who did so much for his
little village, passed to his reward
fourteen years ago.
Paul j. Sauer, the present owner
of the store, is following in his faith
er's footsteps, boosting and helping
his town wherever and whenever pos
sible.

WIFE ARRESTED
FOR USING POKER
Kate Konieako Goes to Jail
for Night for Assault
ing Her Husband.
CUT OPEN HIS HEAD
Row Over Chickens Ends Sad
Iy for Both Members of
the Loving Family.

Those familiar with Monday morn.
ings in the municipal court and the
sight of wife-beaters decorating the
jury box awaiting sentence by the
court, have been hoping that the day
would come when the tables were
turned when it was woman who was
the defendant and her husband who
made the plaintiff. Just for ducks, you
know, just to have woman get her in d.
nings for once.
But the case Friday afternoon, as
result of which Mrs. Kate Konieako
awoke in the county Jail this morning,
was not really a case Of good sports
manship. The man was one-armed and
his wife, as is alleged, beat him up.
The husband-bea should pick on
two-armed man and the story would
sound better.
Such Homecoming.
While Kate Konieako awoke in the
county jail this morning, her husband
Walter Konieako, bathed with care the
great cash upon his head where, &C
cording to the police, his brow had
been sliced open by a poker welded
in the hands of his wife.
It all started over some fuzzy little
yellow chicks. Walter had bought the
chicks, paying So for %. He bought
them, he said, because meat is so high,
and he thought that, with little care
in raising them, he could look for
ward to number of fried chicken dim
ners, chicken pies and chicken salad
luncheons in the future.
He went to work Friday and came
home to be received by disgruntled
wife. AS soon as he opened the door
he saw that Kate was in bad humor.
Scolds About the Little Chicks.
Konieako found that the chicks
which he had brought into the house
were outdoors. He went out to get
them and looked about for the feed.
His attention to the little feathered
creatures brought the ire of his wife
upon his. head. She scolded him be-
cause he spent money for things like
that and he retorted with phrase Of
annoyance because she would not let
him be in peace with his playthings
which were going to grow up into fine
meals for both of them.
Gosh! the answer from the wife was
a blow with the poker. Bleeding and
disheveled he rushed from the house.
The police were called and Sergeant
Kramer and his aides hurried to the
spot A doctor was secured for the
man and his gaping wound tended and
then the police turned about and arr
rested Katie.
Kate declared stoutly that she had
not struck her husband.
"He fell down and hurt his head"
she said.
Walter, before police captain, took
oath that Kate had smashed him with
the poker. He did not seem sorry to
part with her, she going to- the jail
and he Nhieing himself homewards to
the chickens, which he expected to be
able to tend in peace.
Konieako lost his arm in the tam
merry some ten years ago, he said. For
the last four years he has been en-
ployed as fagman for the North
western railroad.

Two Who Stole Car by
Watching Round.
ONE LICENSE PLATE

Police officer Reynolds, while max
ing his rounds Sunday morning at 1850
a. m, came upon Ford touring car
on Salem avenue which carried only
one license plate. If the officer had
not been specially active in his duty,
and had not had both eyes quite open,
he might have passed by and not not

Immediately started an investigation
to discover the why and wherefor of
the single license plate.
There were two young men in the
Ford which carried the license number
A 34-107 w "a on the single plate.

Charles H. Pfennig of Kenosha was
selected to carry the banner of the
Coolidge Republicans Of the First Wis
consin District in the coming con-
gressional campaign at conference
held at Elkhorn on Saturday afternoon
His selection came on the fourth
formal ballot and after one of the most
enthusiastic political battles ever
known in the district. After the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Pfennig had been assur-
ed Thorwald NJ Beck Of Racine, who
had been his principal opponent for
the honor, moved that the nomination
be made unanimous, and the candidate
was assured the most cordial support
of the Republicans of this section of
Wisconsin who believe that the time
has come to get back to old-fashioned
Republican principles and to elect a
candidate who will support the party
and the party's chieftain.
Conference is Enthusiastic.
The nomination of Pfennig came as
the climax of one of the best political
gatherings ever held in the district.
The historic old court room at Elkhorn,
which has been the scene Of SO many
party gatherings, was crowded to the
doors with the Republicans who were
favorable to the "Stick by Coolidge"
j slogan 1t was a real conference with
delegates present from all of the coun-
ties, but the larger delegations were
from Racine, Kenosha and Walworth
counties. Kenosha was represented by
more than sixty people representing
every part of the county. Racine coun-
ty had even a larger delegation, and
Walworth county was represented by a
delegation representative of every vot-
ing precinct in the county. Rock and
Waukesha counties did not get the
notice in time to complete the or
ganization of large delegations, but
both of the counties were represented.
The conference was notable from the
fact that more than forty women were
present and most of them took a Uery
important part in the deliberations of
the more than four hours of intense
POLITICAL activity. 1t was reminiscent
of the old days Of the "town meeting
and the district convention, and the
keen rivalry among the candidates for
the nomination was most encouraging
to the men and women who want to
have the first district send man to
Washington who will keep "cool with
Coolidge" and avoid the pitfalls of rad.
ical and hysterical legislation.
1t was conference noted for plenty
of oratory. There was warm endorse.
ment of the Republican chieftain =
President Coolidge and an insistent
demand that the first district Repub.
hcans be represented in congress by &
man who would be willing to support
Republican principles and stand on the
platform of the Republican national
convention. This sentiment was EN-
phasized by the resolutions adopted al
the conference and by addresses of del
egates in placing men in nomination
Candidate Pfennig, in an address after
his nomination, declared that he was
willing to accept the nomination of the
convention with the understanding that
it was a call to a return to sane Re-
publican rule.
After the convention was over Mr.
Pfennig held an informal reception in

OH SAY HOW CAN

Fourteen Are Arrested for
Drunkenness Saturday
More Sunday.
LINE COURT WALLS
Some Peoples Idea of Nothing
to Do Is Shown When
Monday Court Opens.

On Sunday the blue and yellow
violets made a carpet in the woods.
Anemones still nodded their white
heads on fragile stems. Mans best
and noblest feelings at this season
have been mirrored in perfect prose
and lucid rhyme. In the meadows the
cows gambolled,7, and overhead the
crows sharp "caw-caw" sounded IN
shrill disdain of the sentimental sings
ers, the robins and meadow iarks
below.
And what were the two-legged ami
mails doing? Passing their time,
many of them, to less advantage even
than rabbits. The municipal court
this morning bore mute testimony to
the kind of relaxation INDUCED in by
some of the species which has had
the cheek to call itself the higher"
animal.
Drunks lined the wall of the court,
occupied the jury box and stood back
among the spectators waiting for their
names to be called. With everything
in the season and their time of life
to beckon them on to finer pleasures,
they1 had spent theft Saturday and
Sunday in too-intimate embrace OF
the ''bottle." In some cases it was
much wine, others too much moon,
but too much moon or to much wine
or too much whiskey, it had In every
case been "too much"
Father and Son Together.
William A. Anderson, 253 South Ly-
man avenue, pleaded guilty to. the
charge of driving while intoxicated.
He was picked up Saturday night go
ing in a zig-zag on Salem avenue by
Officers Bauschelt and Tusler and
Secret ary Meissner. 1t was 8:45 p. NJ.
With Anderson in the car was his
father, George Anderson, also intoxi-
Gated. William Anderson was fined
$50 and costs this morning in the
municipal court on his plea of guilty.
His father was fined three and costs.
John Machalowski was fined So and
costs for disorderly conduct arising
out of a scrap at Bema's lunch room,
1914 Main street, Sunday morning at
1886 a. m. George Topel, 351 Herbert
street, was fined the same as the re-
suit Of the same row. Maci.alowski
was sewed up by DR.. Hanley after
the fracas and was ordered to pay the
doctors bill.
Can't Believe They Were Drunk.
Characteristic of most of the drunks
who were brought into court and fined
this morning, they had hard time
convincing themselves that they had
been drunk. One man spent many
minutes telling the judge that he had
come in to look for So-and-So; how
could he have been drunk; he just
came in to look for Mr.. So-and-So.
But he finally gave in to an impatient
court and pleaded guilty. His ap-
pearance looked like that of chang

! Another said that he had drunk
only "three wines" and that he had
been left mo feel good" but that was
all until the police arrested him. An
other said that for his part he had
not been drunk, he just went to sleep.
| Another when drunk had been caught
throwing his money into the street.

Slater, "three dollars and costs"
