IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The vintners of Anaheim inform us that the prospect of the grape crop is most excellent, and that if possible a larger yield than that of last year may be expected. We understand that the grand annual May picnic of the Germans of Anaheim is scheduled to take place tomorrow under the auspices of the Liederkrantz. The parties are to rally at Santiago canyon. At an election for school trustee of the city and precinct of Anaheim, held on Saturday last, Mr. Theodore Rimpau was elected for three years and Mr. John P. Zeyn for two years. Mr. W. M. Higgins, the remaining trustee, holds over one year from the date of this election. Col. Strong, who was in town on Wednesday last, informs us that he is now planting one hundred and fifty acres of prepared land with cotton. The weather for that purpose is opening fair and fine and if the warm weather continues he considers the prospect good for a large crop. At the meeting of the city council Wednesday night the city marshal reported $34.25 collected for licenses during the month of April, and the 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Born, at their residence in Placentia, on Wednesday, April 29, to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Kraemer, a son. Nemetz has painted some perfectly gorgeous signs for Frantz's trained ostriches, which he will place on exhibition at the Coronado track early next week. Mrs. Mitchell and daughter, Blanche, came down from Pasadena on Friday evening to visit with Mrs. Archie Cadman, and returned to their home on the 8 o'clock train the next morning. The Turners and their friends pincked beneath the spreading oaks of the Santiago canyon on Sunday, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Games were played, and the different racing contests were spirited. Bird Beebe left on Tuesday for a trip to his home in Wisconsin to remain during the summer. Unless the climate has changed tremendously since his last visit, he will probably return before the snow flies in the fall. Mr. John P. Zeyn received on Monday afternoon the distressing intelligence that his son, Dr. Gustave Zeyn, was lying dangerously ill with erysipelas at Alameda. Mr. Zeyn left immediately for the north, taking the over- Col. Strong, who was in town on Wednesday last, informs us that he is now planting one hundred and fifty acres of prepared land with cotton. The weather for that purpose is opening fair and fine and if the warm weather continues he considers the prospect good for a large crop. At the meeting of the city council Wednesday night the city marshal reported $34.25 collected for licenses during the month of April, and the mayor reported fines amounting to $16 collected by him during the past three months. The treasurer's report shows a balance of $13.69 in the city treasury. Among the many notable productions for which Anaheim is so justly celebrated, her vigorous and intelligent children may well be classed. In one instance, a healthy mother of eleven living children has among them one specimen of scarce fifteen years, who can show as fine whiskers and mustache as most men at twenty-five. He is five feet, eight inches in height, and weighs 140 pounds. We challenge competition. The Anaheim Water company are constructing a new water ditch at a cost of $1000. The ditch is from a point on the main zanja, near Mr. Kip's house east of the city, a distance of three miles sto the Santa Ana, near the three miles to the Santa Ana, near the opposite school house. This ditch was made necessary by the drains made upon the river by the settlers during the past year. With its completion to the source of supply, the water company can rely upon an abundance of water at all times. San Diego, the oldest town in California, now contains 300 inhabitants. The harbor is twelve miles long and two miles wide, with thirty-five feet of water. Two steamers a week arrive from San Francisco. There are two churches, six schools, one express office, fourteen taverns, twelve large mercantile houses, thirty retail stores, whiskey saloons at every corner, a theatre, a hotel, a flouring mill, banking house, a Masonic lodge, two newspapers, gas and water works, and the Southern Pacific railroad will be there within three years. On the evening of the 19th of May a school exhibition will be given by the pupils of both departments. The program will consist of declarations, Bird Beebe left on Tuesday for a trip to his home in Wisconsin to remain during the summer. Unless the climate has changed tremendously since his last visit, he will probably return before the snow flies in the fall. Mr. John P. Zeyn received on Monday afternoon the distressing intelligence that his son, Dr. Gustave Zeyn, was lying dangerously ill with erysipelas at Alameda. Mr. Zeyn left immediately for the north, taking the overland train leaving Los Angeles at 9 o'clock that evening. Yesterday morning, in obedience to telegraphic summons, Miss Minnie Zeyn took her departure for the north, her brother's condition having unimproved. Frank Ey was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon, and brought over the information that Judge Towner had granted the Mexican murderer, Julien Berdugo, a new trial. There were nineteen points on motion for a new trial, which was presented by Judge Heathman, Berdugo's attorney, and all were overruled except the one setting forth that the jury had no justification for their verdict of murder in the first degree. This, the judge upheld, observing the jury had no right to bring in such a verdict and a new trial was ordered accordingly. Capt. Schumacher had the misfortune to have the back of his left hand badly cut by a buzz saw on day last week while in the act of stopping the machine. He had been engaged in sawing gum wood on the old Hartung place, and had finished the job and was preparing to load the apparatus upon the wagon for removal to his home. The rotary belt had already been removed, and not caring to wait for the revolving saw to stop of its own will, he picked up a piece of wood with which by pressing it against the saw he intended to bring it to a standstill. Unfortunately the stick slipped, and his left hand was brought in contact with the saw. The cut extended across the back of the hand and the bones were nearly severed, rendering the thumb and two fingers useless. Medical assistance was at once procured and the wound dressed. It is to be hoped he may regain the use of his hand, but as yet it is problematical, and he is compelled to carry it in a sling. The Baron von Dinkelspiel is ausge spielt. He has skipped to pastures new. He leaves a large red streak in On the evening of the 19th of May a school exhibition will be given by the pupils of both departments. The program will consist of declarations, dialogues, burlesques, fares, tableaux and music. We can promise all who will favor our young friends with their presence an agreeable evening's entertainment. After the close of the exhibition all who wish can have the pleasure of tripping the "light fantastic toe," till the "we sma' hour's ayant the twal." A small admittance fee will be charged. The proceeds after defraying the necessary expenses, will be used in purchasing a set of charts and outline maps for the schools. On Monday last, May 1st, the charter election of the city of Anaheim took place. Capt. Geo. C. Knox was sworn in as judge; F. W. Kuelp, F. A. Korn, inspectors, and J. A. F. Heyerman and G. W. Barter, clerks. The following officers were elected: Mayor, Henry Kroeger; councilmen, John P. Zeyn, Phil Davis, E. W. Champlin, Tim Boege and A. Bittner. The vote for the various candidates was as follows: For mayor, Henry Kroeger, 66; S. J. Davis, 41; for councilmen, J. P. Zeyn, 105; A. Bittner, 84; E. W. Champlin, 81; Tim Boege, 68; Phil Davis, 62; John Fischer, 40; Obed Macey, 39; J. Keller, 26; S. H. Dyer, 9. For city attorney, G. W. Barter, 54; V. D'Assonville, 44. For marshal, Talton T. Hill, 56; George H. Horn, 54. For assessor, Richard Melrose, 54; S. H. Dyer, 53. For treasurer, Theodore Rimpau, 86; R. Heiman, 20. The Baron von Dinkelspiel is ausge spielt. He has skipped to pastures new. He leaves a large red streak in his wake, extending from here clear over to Pasadena. And many and deep are the walls and weeping and lamentation and gnashing of teeth thereat. The Baron was called to San Francisco one day last week by a telegram bringing the sad intelligence that the daughter of Count von Moltke was lying at the point of death, and summoning him to her side. Why he should so suddenly leave his bride-elect at Pasadena, where the telegraphic summons reached him, for another, is past finding out. The Baron was to have returned on Sunday, but up to the hour of going to press last evening had not put in an appearance. The Baron flew high during his soujourn in southern California, probably the most grotesque feature of the harbaric splendor characterizing his sojourn being the part carried out in the Los Angeles flesta, when he was driven in the parade in an open barrouche with his bride-elect at his side, and a well-known gentleman of Pasadena driving. The Baron drank like a fish during his stay in Anaheim. The genuineness of the Baron's title was doubted from the first, among others, by two gentlemen in town, one of whom was for a year in the kaiser's service as lieutenant of cavalry, and the other having passed his school days at Heidelberg and having become well acquainted with the scions of nobility and the inner court. ACTIVITY OF AUTO THIEVES Auto thieves cost Sou. California motorists $1,315,810 last year and bid fair to cost 'em more this year. This figure, made public by the theft bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, is the first actual total of the value of cars stolen by auto thieves in the southern part of the state. It shows what motorists would have lost if the auto club and the police departments had not been on the job and recovered a large percentage of the machines taken. If none of the cars stolen had been recovered, motorists in the southern counties would have been "out" nearly one million and a half. A list of the cars most frequently stolen during the year was also prepared from club reports. According to present indications from the first four months and a half of 1921, say club officials, this year's record will exceed all others in the number of autos stolen, mainly on account of the carelessness of owners, and despite the fact that numerous thieves have been arrested. Of course the largest number of any single make of car to be stolen was the Ford, there were 591 Fords stolen in one year in southern California. Next in popularity with the professional thief was the Buick, there were 202 of these stolen. Then comes the Hudson with 86 stolen; the Studebaker with 80; the Chandler with 73; the Chevrolet with 67 and the Cadillac with 63. These mark the greatest activity of the thieves. There was 49 Oldsmobiles stolen and thirty-nine Oaklands. Auto thieves got away with 1654 cars in 1920, actually valued by the insurance exchange of the auto club at $1,315,818. Seven days were used in making this tabulation. BURDENS LIFTED From Anaheim Backs—Relief Proved by Lapse of Time Backache is a heavy burden; Nervousness, dizziness, headache. Rheumatic pain; urinary ill; All wear one out. Often effects of kidney weakness. No use to cure the symptoms. Relief is but temporary if the cause remains. If it's the kidneys, cure the cause. Doan's Kidney Pills are for kidney ill; Read about your neighbor's case. Here's Anaheim testimony. The kind that can be investigated. Mrs. J. L. Troutman, 314 N. Emily St., says: "About four years ago while living in Iowa, my kidneys troubled me considerably. My back was weak and lame and I felt run down. My kidneys did not act right and I knew they were the cause of my trouble. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and used them as directed. Three boxes cured me of all signs of the trouble and I have had no return of it." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—Get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Troutman had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y. It is nice to have friendly words coming out of Mexico, but what Uncle Sam wants now, after several years of trading phrases, are actions that speak louder than language. Nobody has invented a comic supplement that is half so funny as the society page of a metropolitan newspaper.
