IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 20 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The election on Wednesday last was the most exciting event that has occurred among us during the past year. All the known tricks of election day were resorted to. Tickets were issued which under the specious guise of Democratic or Republican headings contained one or more names of the candidates of the adverse party, ingeniously sandwiched into the most anomalous political fellowship and covered endeavoring to slide quietly into the ballot box under unsuspecting convoy of the enemy. The whole number of votes cast was 238, Haight, for governor, receiving 129 and Booth, 108. In the township, for constables, Davies polled 112, Ladd, 89; Lebman, 92, and Byrd, 44; Englehardt (Ind.) polled 45. On his return to Anaheim after an absence of five weeks, Mr. Barter was greeted by a midnight serenade and the congratulations of his friends. Returning to the green fields and pleasant places of lovely Anaheim after sojourning in the waste and desert to the northwest at Santa Monica, Soledad and San Pasqual, no one can fail to rejoice, and a serenade at sleeping midnight heightens the ecstasy of the occasion. Santa Ana is the banner Democratic precinct. Thirty-nine votes were cast 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Seventy-five votes were cast at the Republican primaries in town on Saturday and thirty-five at the Democratic. Fifty-four votes were cast at the Republican primaries at West Anaheim and only seven at the Democratic. The Republicans had a contest at West Anaheim, a fight being made against E. Barr, an anti-Melrose man, and he was defeated. No other contests were made, the eight delegates in town as well as those from West Anaheim being for both Melrose and Chynoweth, the former for the senate and the latter for the assembly. The Republican delegates elected in town were W. J. Fay, H. A. Dickel, Arthur Lewis, Frank Shanley, C. E. Groot, Max Nebelung, Amos Jennings and F. Snythe. The Democratic delegates are W. T. Brown, L. C. Bailey, W. L. Metcalf, H. A. McWilliams, Henry Oelkers, Julius Schneider and Frank Steadman. Marshal Steadman deputized Ed Bustamente to slay a particularly violent looking bull dog on Tuesday, and Ed decoyed the purp out of town, waylaid him and embushed him. He struck him three good licks upon the head and left him in the cactus for dead. Ed came back to town, collected his fee, and went on his way rejoicing. Yesterday morning the dog came to town Santa Ana is the banner Democratic precinct. Thirty-nine votes were cast there in the election last Wednesday and thirty-eight of them were Democratic. Mr. Rumble has just returned from an extended tour in the lower counties, having ridden some 500 miles on horseback. He has also served as a volunteer under Col. Brown in the late Indian troubles, and comes marching home with all the prestige and eclat of a battle-scarred veteran of the Pala war. Oru new fire bell rang out its first alar mon Monday morning last. Fire caught in the kitchen of Mr. T. E. Schmidt's residence on Center street, but was fortunately extinguished before it gained any headway. The roof and ceiling suffered most and are probably damaged to the extent of fifty dollars. We have the pleasure to refer our readers to the announcement of the concert to be given this evening by Don Miguel S. Arevalo, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Van Gulpen and H. Fisher, all favorites of our music loving public. A preliminary meeting of Odd Fellows was held last Monday evening to consider the expediency of organizing a lodge. Committees were appointed to confer with the D. D. G. M. at Los Angeles and also to provide for a suitable meeting place. There was 1920 names on the Los Angeles city poll-lists up to election day. T. B. Johnson and J. J. Hill, while laboring under inspired hope of success for their respective political friends, made a wager which the loser is in duty and honor bound to fulfill.

He struck him three good licks upon the head and left him in the cactus for dead. Ed came back to town, collected his fee, and went on his way rejoicing. Yesterday morning the dog came to town as well as ever, seeming to like his treatment of the day before, and was ready to call it square. At latest reports Ed was employing his forces in an attempt to get the purp out into the cactus again. Later—Ed report₃ as we go to press that he killed the dog again. Katella is the name of Mr. Rae's ranch situated two miles south of town and the way it came by the pretty name was thus-wise: Mr. Rae has two available gifted daughters, one called Kate and the other Ella. Calling them in for dinner one day, Kate and Ella, the combination of the two names struck him as a pretty name for his ranch, and a nicely painted board by the entrance gate bears the name of "Katella ranch." When the county gets filled up these distinguishing names will be freely applied to our rancher. The wife of J. Harry Whitaker, of Buena Park, presented him with a bouncing baby boy at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, weighing ten pounds and although he was not able to attend the Republican convention himself, came near keeping the old man away also. The newcomer is a believer in sound money and protection and prosperity. The Lula James dramatic company telephoned from Santa Barbara yesterday that they would be at the opera house in this city on next Monday evening. The leading lady of the company is our former townswoman, Miss Lula James, and she ought, and doubtless will be greeted by a packed house. She is said to be a very fine actress, having traveled with Modjeska, and ought to be greeted by a crowded house. School began Monday with 276 pupils at the Central building and 110 at West Anaheim.

We appreciate the motive of their generous and benevolent bet, and hope the loser will adhere to it. At the residence of Mr. Boldt we have been shown a peculiar specimen of the genus quadruped, in the form of a chicken which has four naturally formed legs, on which it stands in a half upright position, but cannot walk. By great exertion it manages to waddle around like "Tim O'Flaherty's drake." Deeds have been filed as follows: Jose Yorba to V. Yorba, tract of land in Rancho Cajon de Santa Ana, for $110; Andrew Yorba to Ramon Peralta, an undivided seventh interest in the misal tract in the Rancho Santa Ana, for $150.

What was wrong with the atmosphere on Monday last? Nearly everybody at Magnolia or near it was a victim of neuralgia or some billious affection, while those who escaped were overtaken with an insufferable ennul. The weather wise said the condition of the atmosphere heralded a Santa Ana wind storm, and notwithstanding the disgusting beasts that they are when they blow at their best, yet they have their redeeming qualities—they clear the air and sweep away the peculiar conditions that tend to billousness and ennul. H. E. Huntington, Chief Engineer Hood and a party arrived in Anaheim on a special train on Saturday morning, and drove over the contemplated right of way for the railroad spur from this point to the sugar factory. They were gone an hour or two, and on their return gave out the information that if right of way matters were closed up by Saturday evening, two hundred and fifty men would be put at work on Monday morning. Ex-Sheriff Theodore Lacey was in town yesterday afternoon. Theodore has retired from politics and become respectable, and is now an honest farmer. BOYD'S INJURIES SERIOUS That the injuries sustained by Robert C. Boyd, formerly of this city, in a wreck last February 24 are of a serious nature is disclosed in a newspaper clipping just received from Columbus, Ohio. A letter from Boyd states that up to the present time the state railroad commission has taken no action upon Boyd's complaint alleging that numbers of stage drivers in this vicinity make a practicable of allowing girls to ride beside them. Boyd described the girls as "chickens." He declared that these love-making chickens and love-making drivers are an unsafe combination for the traveling public. He asked the state commission to promulgate an order prohibiting stage drivers from paying attentions to "chickens" during the time the stage drivers are at the wheel of a public carrying vehicle. Boyd's complaint made a specific charge against a stage driver who, he said, was giving close attention to a girl on the seat beside him. Boyd, who says he was in a highly nervous condition as the result of the wreck in which he had been injured, protested to the driver against the driver's lack of attention to his job. He said the driver drove up to the curb and told him he could walk. Boyd declined the alternative. Boyd was injured on the Telegraph road at the Salt Lake crossing when a Crown stage was run into by a gasoline section car. As a result of the accident, Boyd was confined to his bed for some time. Boyd's family lives on South Philadelphia street, Anaheim. Concerning Boyd's condition, the Columbus Dispatch has the following: "A result of injuries sustained in a rollover automobile accident nearance of tariff legislation as a favorable factor and stated that the domestic sugar industry can count with some assurance upon the adoption of adequate measures of protection in the Fordney permanent tariff bill when it is finally enacted into law. Many members of congress of both parties indicated by their stand on the emergency bill their strong belief in the necessity for protection to home grown sugar, Judge Rolapp said. General business conditions in the east are showing improvement in Judge Rolapp's opinion. On this subject he said: "While eastern financial sentiment is not exactly buoyant, the psychology of the situation is materially better and men are looking ahead with confidence. It is my belief that we have acraped bottom and will be definitely on the upgrade by the end of the year. While the forward movement is not likely to be a runaway affair, next year should bring business in general, and the beet sugar industry in particular, a far greater measure of success and prosperity than they have enjoyed in the months of depression now approaching an end." THE NAVARRO INQUEST A coroner's jury which held an inquiry at Fullerton over the body of Augustine Navarro, Mexican, returned a verdict that he came to his death by a gunshot wound in the head, fired by a person unknown to the jury and with intent to kill. Navarro, according to the authorities, was shot about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon by Anrone Mondoza at Navarro's home on the Bastanchury ranch. No trace has been found of the slayer. The common law widow of the deceased was the principal witness at the ro's head was exhibited at the inquest. An examination of the dead man's body disclosed that he had a broken jaw. The doctor who made the examination said that it appeared that Navarro had been struck with a club. Other witnesses were George Rehill, a foreman of a unit of the Bastanchury ranch on which the shooting occurred, and City Marshal Art Eells, of Fullerton. BATHING GIRLS' REVUE AT SEAL BEACH SEPT. 18 Seal Beach is planning an intercommunity bathing girls' revue to be given on Sunday, September 18, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. It is to be entirely different from the ordinary event of this kind, for everything that savors of professionalism will be eliminated. Every girl entering will stand an equal chance to win one of the five cash prizes that are to be given. There is to be no hiring of motion picture actresses, nor will any of the prize winners be selected in advance. Cash prizes will be given as follows: First, $25; second, $15; third, $10; fourth, $5; fifth, $2.50. The first four prizes will be paid in gold. The contest will be for girls of Orange county and vicinity. This will include Long Beach, Artesia, Downey, Norwalk and other places quite close to the Orange county line. Los Angeles girls will not be permitted to enter unless it is shown that Seal Beach is their favorite bathing beach. It is planned by the Chamber of Commerce to have three judges—one from Santa Ana, one from Anaheim and one from Long Beach. The prizes will be awarded to the girls who look the nicest in their bathing suits. There will be prizes for the communities represented by the largest number of girls. Entry blanks may be Boyd was injured on the Telegraph road at the Salt Lake crossing when a Crown stage was run into by a gasoline section car. As a result of the accident, Boyd was confined to his bed for some time. Boyd's family lives on South Philadelphia street, Anaheim. Concerning Boyd's condition, the Columbus Dispatch has the following: "A$s a result of injuries sustained in a railroad-automobile accident near Los Angeles last February, Robert C. Boyd, originator of the automobile parking plan in Columbus and proprietor of three large downtown auto parks, is in a serious condition. It was only recently that an X-ray examination revealed a badly fractured scapula. Complications resulting from the injury confined Boyd to his home several weeks ago and it was the result of inflammation resulting from the injury that prompted the attending physicians to make the X-ray examination. Recently he was removed to the Fountain Park sanitarium near Woodstock, O., for special treatment." COX "TAKES SHOT" AT TRIVIAL CASES Justice of the Peace Cox announced that he turned over to the county treasurer's office during August $2273, collected in fines and fees through his court. Of the total amount $1400 represents fines collected in criminal cases, $831 fines paid for violations of the motor vehicle law and $42 fines paid in civil cases. Judge Cox also reported that he had turned $13,888 over to the county treasurer's office since the first of the year. Commenting on the different matters that come up in his court, Judge Cox said that he is required to handle "too many insignificant cases." "A lot of the cases brought before me are all Tommyrot," declared Judge Cox. "They should not come into my court or any other court with such stuff. A good many of this sort of cases are based on revenge, family rows, etc. I can see through them the moment they are brought in here, but there is nothing for me to do but try them out. In many instances some man or a woman is merely seeking grounds for a divorce action." "My time is worth something to the county and I don't see why I should" Augustine Navarro, Mexican, returned a verdict that he came to his death by a gunshot wound in the head, fired by a person unknown to the jury and with intent to kill. Navarro, according to the authorities, was shot about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon by Anrone Mendoza at Navarro's home on the Bastanchury ranch. No trace has been found of the slayer. The common law widow of the deceased was the principal witness at the inquest. She testified that Mendoza came to her home about 9 o'clock on Monday morning and met her husband. She said that Mendoza and Navarro appeared to be on good terms although they had a quarrel at a dance Sunday night. The woman said that she sent her son after a horse which she had turned loose in the field and that when the boy did not return when she expected him, she started a search for him. She said that she was gone about an hour and that when she returned she found Navarro's body lying on the floor of her home. Mendoza had fled. A split bullet extracted from Navarro. "Got any apple custard?" asked the fat man at the railroad restaurant counter." "Yes, that is apple custard," said the red-headed waitress indicating the pie. "But in the part of the country I come from apple custard has no upper crust." "Well, that pie has no upper crust. What you see on top there is dust!"—Yonker$s Statesman.
