JOSEPH PANOSH

MARIBEL MAN BORN UNDER A LUCKY STAR—HAD $4,000, LOST IT AND THEN GOT IT BACK AGAIN 
John DeWane, a Maribel man, must have been born under a lucky star. First he 
carried $4,000 about with him and then when he lost the purse with its contents, 
he was fortunate enough to have the receptacle fall into honest hands and have 
it returned to him. Mr. DeWane was in the city Tuesday on business and while at 
the Addison House waiting for his train, purchased a paper from a Herald newsboy. 
He paid for the paper from a purse in which there was $75 cash and a note for 
$4,000. During the transaction DeWane heard his train pull in and hurriedly leaving 
the Addison House he left the purse on a table. The attention of Joseph Panosh, 
clerk at the hotel, was attracted when a stranger started to pick up the purse and 
Panosh headed off the move by taking charge of the pocketbook himself. Discovery of 
the loss was not made by Mr. DeWane until his train was well underway to Maribel 
but he had the conductor stop and let him off and he hiked back to the city to make 
search for his missing wallet, which was returned by Mr. Panosh when the Maribel man 
proved his property. Panosh was rewarded.

the accompaniments and solo pieces performed on the piano were really perfect

TWO RIVERS MAN POSSESSES A RARE OLD COIN, 
USED BY THE ROMANS BEFORE TIME OF CHRIST 
George Peot of Two Rivers, recently came into possession of a coin 
that is probably one of the rarest and oldest on record and it was 
coined by the Romans before Christ says the Chronicle of that city. 
Mr. Peot took the coin to John Braun, the jeweler, who examined and 
tested it. Mr. Braun is not an expert on coins but is of the opinion 
that the coin is a valuable one. 
The coin is made of a composition of metals and is about 20 per cent 
gold and contains some copper. On one side it has a design with Roman 
lettering showing the value of the same and the other side contains 
a likeness of a man and an ass which is crudely shaped and designed. 
The coin was found by some boys and purchased from them by Mr. Peot. 
It will be sent to an expert in New York for examination. It may be 
quite valuable.

LEONA PERRY

GIRL SUFFERS BROKEN JAW AS TWO CARS MEET
Miss Leona Perry Injured in Automobile Accident on 
Forrest Avenue Last Night
In a head on collision on Forrest Ave., between Twenty-fifth and 
Twenty-sixth street shortly after midnight last night, Miss Leona 
Perry, a south side girl and a passenger in one of the machines 
was quite badly injured suffering a broken jaw and severe cuts and 
lacerations about the face and neck when she was thrown up against 
the windshield and was cut by flying glass. Rushed to a physician's 
office after the crash it was found that Miss Perry had a close 
call, when her jugular vein was nearly severed by a piece of flying 
glass. Her wounds were dressed and she was removed to her home, and 
unless complications set in it is probable that she will pull through. 
The accident resulted when the Chevrolet coach owned by Roy Rebmann 
and driven by George Richmann collided with the Chevrolet touring car 
owned and driven by Hugo Hoffmann, residing on Route 2, Two Rivers, 
near Mishicot. The Rebmann car was bound in from the north and was 
proceeding down Forrest Ave. In addition to Roy Rebmann and Richman, 
Miss Rachel Lieberger and Leona Perry were passengers in the machine. 
Meet in Center of Street. 
They reported that they noticed the Hoffman machine proceeding north 
along Forrest Ave., and declared that it was hugging the east side of 
the highway. Richman declared that he swung out to the left in order 
to clear the oncoming machine, but at about the same time Hoffmann 
also swerved out towards the middle of the street. The result was a 
head on smash in the center of the street. Of the four person in the 
Rebmann car and Hoffmann and his companion in the other machine, Miss 
Perry was the only one seriously hurt.

CHARLES AND JOHN PETERS

TWO PETERS BOYS WOUNDED IN FRANCE, BOTH ON ROAD TO RECOVERY, WRITE LETTERS HOME 
Letters received from Corporal John Peters of Company H. 127th infantry, who 
left with Company H, indicate that he was wounded in action in France on July 
10th and has been in a base hospital ever since. He was shot through the thigh. 
Charles Peters, his brother, and a private in the same company who also left 
here with company H was also wounded in the same battle, but his injuries were 
slight. Both boys in their letters tell of having the Boche on the run one letter 
saying, “women and kids are their meat and when it comes to a good hard boiled 
yank they are not in it.” Corporal Peters said one Yank can make three or four 
Germans hunt their hole. He adds that “we will eat our Christmas dinner on the 
banks of the Rhine.” Charles Peters in telling of being wounded says he was 
struck on the shoulder blade by a machine gun and walked three miles to get to 
the ambulance. He was fighting near Chateau Thierry when wounded. He says the 
Sammies all imagined that they would be excited when they got into battle, but 
Peters said he was as steady as when on the rifle range. He also announces that 
Walter Bedford was wounded in the foot.

JULIA PIERPONT

A Runaway
Last Thursday a party from this village, consisting of Mrs. L. Mann, Miss Julia 
Pierpont, Miss Clara Whitcomb and a boy for a driver, went to Manitowoc for a 
ride. Just as they were entering that city the horses attached to their carriage 
were frightened at some object in the street, and became unmanageable dashing 
madly down Sixth-street in the direction of the river.
The brave little fellow who did the driving, although unable to check the speed 
of the frightened animals, succeeded in reining them into a pile of corded wood 
just before they reached the river. Had he not done so they would have undoubtedly 
ran off the dock into the water, and all perhaps, would have drowned. As it was, 
however, when they came in contact with the pile of wood, the sudden stop smashed 
the carriage and threw the ladies violently out otherwise seriously injuring them.  
The party came home on an evening train, decorated with court-paster but in 
tolerable good spirits notwithstanding their mishap.

ALBERT PIERSON

QUICK ACTION BY YOUTH SAVES BOY FROM RIVER
West Side Lad Rescued By Albert Pierson From River At Tenth Street
Albert Pierson, fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Pierson, 
1114 Washington street saved Raymond Jagonsky(sic), nine year old west 
side boy from drowning in the river this morning at 11 o’clock near 
Tenth street bridge, when he pulled the boy out by the arm as he was 
sinking for the second time. 
Lad Falls From Boat. 
Young Jagodinsky and another small boy were playing about the Tuisl 
boat, at the south end of Tenth street bridge. In some manner he 
toppled off the end of the boat into the river. Just at that time 
young Pierson, in company with Lawrence Sheridan was coming to the 
dock in a small row boat. Seeing that something was wrong, young 
Pierson jumped up on the dock, over onto the fish boat and reaching 
over just as Jagodinsky rose to the surface grabbed the youth by the 
hand as he was sinking from sight. The lad was hauled up on the boat 
and although having swallowed considerable water was soon recovered 
sufficiently so that he could remove his clothing and dry his garments. 
Later he proceeded to his home.

OLIVE PILONG  (Should be Pilon?)

Oliver Pilong, a fisherman living in this village, had a brand new pound
net torn to pieces by a passing vessel last Saturday. It is thought the 
captain of the vessel ran into the net from pure maliciousness as she could
easily have avoided it had he wished to have done so. It is to be hoped that
Mr. Pilong will succeed in obtaining damages from the captain, if the 
destruction of the net could have been avoided. Some of the captains of the
pretty little crafts that sail up and down the shore think they are the lords
of the lake, and the fishermen have no rights which are bound to respect, and
it would be well for them to understand that they are liable for all damage
done by their vessels, either through negligence of wantonness.

Sheboygan Co. Holds Philip Pingle(sic) for Some Observation 
Philip Pingel, who was taken from his father's home between Kiel and Elkhart 
Lake about two weeks ago by Sheboygan county authorities, and later examined 
by physicians as to his sanity, is still at the county asylum awaiting 
dispostion by the officials. Pingel gave straight answers to everything the 
doctors asked and they were unwilling to recommend his commitment to the 
asylum on the evidence. He will probably be held until his record has been 
looked up further. He is said to be a man with an ungovernable temper and 
it is thought this may to some extent account for the alleged threats which

JOHN PITZ

A horse which had broken away from its owner created all kinds of havoc on 
York street yesterday afternoon. It dashed up the street at a jay-eye-see 
gait and ran into the yard at the home of John Pitz. With a desire to 
investigate into the mysteries of sausage making the animal started for the 
house, broke in the door and entered the hall, proceeded the entire length 
until it reached the door leading to the sausage room in the butcher's shop. 
At this point obstacles which could not be overcome were met with and after 
considerable trouble the animal was driven from the hall. A large crowd 
gathered about to witness the "fun" and such it proved to be.

PAUL PROWL

Two Men Near Death As Car Is Turned Over
CAR LEAVES ROAD ON 141, IS OVERTURNED
Ed. Reindl and Paul Prowl Have Miraculous Escape From Death
Two Manitowoc men, thrown out of an overturned car on Highway 141, about one half mile
south of the junction of highways 31 and 141 at about 8 o'clock last night are under
care of physicians today following a most miraculous escape from death or far more serious
injuries than they received. Thumb Torn Off. Paul Prowl, 2610 Meadow Lane, passenger in
the machine which overturned had the thumb of his right hand torn off and two other fingers
are so severely lacerated that it may be necessary to amputate in order to save the hand. 
His back is also injured and he has severe bruises but it is believed that he escaped 
internal injuries. He is still confined to the hospital. Ed. Reindl, 936 North Fifteenth 
street meat market proprietor, driver and owner of the car, is expected to be able to 
retain his left ear following its being sewed in place after it was nearly severed from 
his head. When he arrived at the office of his attending physician, the ear was hanging by 
little more than a shred. A deep gash in his left cheek exposed the bone of the left jaw 
and he was otherwise seriously bruised. Suffer Blood Loss. Both men were in extremely 
weakened condition because of excessive loss of blood but this is expected to have no 
serious results. Both are resting easily today, Reindl at his home where he was taken 
this morning. Accident Theory. One of the theories of the accident is that Prowl seated 
next to Reindl, grabbed the steering wheel in the belief that Reindl was in danger of 
going into the ditch when a passing car or truck crowded them on the side of the road.  
The machine, a late model Willys-Knight touring car was steered across the highway to the 
left side of the road, went into a  five foot ditch and skimmed along that for a distance 
before it struck a fence post and it overturned. The machine was badly damaged. The two men 
were reported to have been at Sheboygan and were on their way to Manitowoc at the time of 
the mishap. Prowl employed on the night shift of the cement plant, was to have been at work 
at 11 o'clock last night and it was for that purpose that the men were returning. 
Herbert Zannacker, one of the first to reach the scene of the accident, found Prowl 
a considerable distance from the car in a field, almost overcome by exhaustion, the man, 
in his maddening pain having started to run from the scene. Mr. Zannacker drove to a 
nearby telephone and summoned Dr. F.W. Hammond to care for Prowl while Reindl was brought 
to the city by another car.
