The proceedings are to extend for six days and it was the intention of the department to have their chief on the grounds for the entire time, and judged $50 would be within reason for that purpose. But as a neighboring town had donated $20 for their representative, the city dads felt as though, if they did likewise, the sum should be sufficient, as money it a little bit tight at present, and inasmuch as Goodrich is a good man and a keen observer, a couple or three days should suffice to allow him to absorb everything of interest that might happen at the fire chiefs' convention.

Under the caption "Forty Years Ago," a Los Angeles newspaper a few days ago printed an item, stating that "A vigilance committee had been formed in Anaheim to ferret out the party who had been committing flendish pranks." Old timers recall the incident and state that the peaceful colony in 1876 was much disturbed at times by having residents, upon returning to their homes at night, to find lamps burning and rooms showing signs of having been ransacked and the premises more or less put in a topsy-turvey condition. Thlevery was the object of the nocturnal visitor and articles of value in some cases were taken. The identity of the culprit remained a mystery and the colonists were vexed at his escapades, and so a vigilance committee was formed to run him down, but as near as can be learned at this late date, no one ever turned up missing. When evidences of the intruder's presence was found, the alarm was given and the committee hastily assembled, intent upon capturing him, but in every instance he eluded the wrathful populace.
