05 29 Messrs. Simon Molzahn, Charles Feisst and Andrew Roegner are the owners and officers of a
neat little steam launch which has its moorings in Rock river, below Boomers
dam. The boat is twenty-two feet in
length, will accommodate a dozen persons, is fitted with an eight horse-power
engine and is propelled by a steam wheel.
It is of light draft and capable of developing a speed of eight miles an
hour. The launch was given a trial trip
to Hahn’s lake last week and it is proposed during the summer to make
excursions down the river as far as Jefferson — a most delightful and
picturesque trip. S. Molzahn is captain
of the craft, Mr. Roegner chief engineer, and Mr. Feisst navigating officer. WR

09 08 CLEM SCHOECHERT
For
years Clem Schoechert of 1313 South Third Street, a salesman for the C. A.
Feisst Co., has been telling tavern keepers he sells and services in Edgerton
that Watertown would be able to grow better tobacco than Edgerton which is in
the heart of the Wisconsin tobacco belt.
His remarks, whenever he hit any of the taverns in Edgerton, brought
raised eyebrows, snickering and laughter.
Finally Duny Bosbin, bartender at Vorpahls Tavern in Edgerton could take
Schoechert’s jibes no longer, handed him 12 plants and said, “Go ahead and prove
it.” Well Clem has. Those 12 plants which were set out in the
Schoechert garden for him by Erwin Schliewe, who tends his garden, have grown
into seven foot-plus plants. This, says
Clem, proves he was right and he is ready to “throw it right back at those
fellows in Edgerton” who doubted him. WDT
