MAMMOTH GAS HOLDER Force of Cincinnati Mechanics Installing New Gas Apparatus Manager Bellus of the Orange county gas company has a force of sixteen mechanics from Cincinnati engaged upon the work of installing a gas holder of 40,000 cubic feet capacity at the gas works on Atchison street. The men are at work under Foreman M. Gleason, who arrived with them some days ago from the east. The holder is 47 feet in diameter, and when filled with gas will rise to a height of 50 feet. The labor of installing the holder upon its massive concrete basement will require a month. The total force of mechanics and workmen employed is twenty and an additional force may be engaged next week. Other apparatus will be added, the idea being to improve the service to consumers. The new holder will do away with the last vestige of complaint concerning irregular service, as a uniform pressure will be maintained at all times. The present holder of 10,000 cubic feet will be used as a relief holder, and the service greatly improved thereby. The improvements will cost the company $10,000. A new gas main will be extended.

A new gas main will be extended on Broadway to West Anaheim and service taken up at that point at an early date. Under the new management the quality of gas has been improved to such an extent that it has become a pleasure to use it. Mr. Bellus states he has only begun to improve the service, and he intends in the next thirty days to show consumers what a real quality of gas looks like. EBELL SOCIETY The Ebell club enjoyed a rare treat at their regular meeting on Saturday in having Mrs. Reeves of Tustin and Mrs. Willoughby Rodman of Los Angeles as speakers for the afternoon. Home economics and civic improvement were presented. Many practical suggestions and labor-saving devices were given for the home, and plans for civic growth, which if carried out, will make Anaheim an ideal city. Among the most pressing needs mentioned were a park, a tree warden, Arbor day, screens in our public school buildings, more playgrounds for our Central school building, and the cleaning of streets and alleys. Music by a chorus of eighth grade boys and girls, under the direction of Miss Ames, was one of the pleasing features of the afternoon.

The victim was the only white man killed in the early affrays, but one Indian and two Mexicans bit the dust in the exciting days of the early 70's. The razed building was the site of Anaheim's first brewery, which was conducted by a man named S. Goldstein. The building contained a bar and in the rear were rooms for gambling. Anaheim was in those days an incorporated city, with a mayor and city council. There were many rough characters about, and the Pioneers, pursuing their arts of peace, were at times sorely beset by the acts of the frontiersmen who drifted into the community. funeral was one of the early days.

There were many rough characters about, and the Ploneers, pursuing their arts of peace, were at times sorely beset by the acts of the frontiersmen who drifted into the community. On the day in question Dye Davis, who had formerly filled the office of city marshal, and a number of others were engaged in a game of poker in one of the rooms of Goldstein's building. A dispute arose, and the participants drew their ever-ready guns in anticipation of the exciting events which were scheduled to follow in rapid succession. Shooting did not immediately begin, but in the momentary excitement the parties gained the rear door, and the duel followed in the back yard. Several shots were fired by Davis and a stranger who was understood to be the cause of the trouble. Both men fired at one another repeatedly at close range. Charles Lehman, who had defeated Davis for city marshal at the preceding election, hearing the shots, ran into the yard, commanding the men to desist firing and preserve the peace. He was struck by one of the bullets and fell mortally wounded. The duel ceased and the stranger mounted a horse and rode away. Lehman was carried into Dr. Higginis' drugstore, at the corner of Lemon and Center street, where the postoffice now stands. He was later removed to the brick residence on Chartres street, midway between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, where he died a few days thereafter. His permit for the firing of street.

Davis city marshal. His sympathies had been with the man. He forbade the lighting of fire in the city streets, adding that the city's peace officer he would permit the firing of anvils on public thoroughfare. Major Max Strobel was appealed and he immediately granted a warrant for the firing of anvils in the city. The order was handed down disregarded it with a flip-remark about the mayor.

It was in the early 70's that Davis while acting as marshal shot and killed an Indian who had maltreated a lady living here. The latter lay at the point of death for several days, and it was weeks before she was able to take her customary evening walk. On a Sunday afternoon, a month or more after the Indian had committed the crime, the lady while walking on East Center street recognized the Indian, who was carousing with a number of bibulous companions. She at once notified the officer. Davis went to the place where Indians were drinking, and as the culprit resisted arrest, shot him with a revolver. The Indian died a few days later. A Mexican horsethief intrenched in Soquel canyon was Davis' next victim. Davis organized a posse and went in pursuit of him. The Mexican opened fire from a barricade.
