IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 4, 1876 One and one-eighth inches of rain fell night before last and, as a consequence, the streets yesterday were in a very bad condition. The rainfall for the season so far has been 12¾ inches, according to Dr. Higgins' gauge. We understand that the petition against the revival of the city charter was signed very extensively by some of our most substantial citizens. There will be no school today and tomorrow in Mr. Guinn's department, that gentleman having been obliged yesterday morning to leave for Los Angeles to participate in the examination of applicants for teachers' certificates—thus giving unavoidably a holiday of three days to his delighted scholars. In talking yesterday with an old resident about the matter of these frequent washings away of the railroad track, we were told that the survey made by Mr. Phelps would have placed the road so that it would have avoided these accidents, but that, actuated by the "penny wise, pound foolish" policy of saving something in the building of the road, the managers at San Francisco rejected his plans and adopted those upon which the road was finally built. Its present liability to be washed away by every shower speaks more loudly than a dozen volumes could In talking yesterday with an old resident about the matter of these frequent washings away of the railroad track, we were told that the survey made by Mr. Phelps would have placed the road so that it would have avoided these accidents, but that, actuated by the "penny wise, pound foolish" policy of saving something in the building of the road, the managers at San Francisco rejected his plans and adopted those upon which the road was finally built. Its present liability to be washed away by every shower speaks more loudly than a dozen volumes could of the unwisdom of these gentlemen in particular and of the "penny wise, pound foolish" policy in general. We had no mail from Los Angeles yesterday, in consequence of the rain of the previous night having caused a break in the bridge over the Los Angeles river. We learn that the damage done is considerable, but that it is expected all will be rectified in time to prevent its interfering with tomorrow's trains. The railroad track was washed badly about six miles south of San Fernando by the last rain, but it was repaired in time to let the train get down to Los Angeles last night. M. A. Mendelson is putting a show window in his tailor shop. He is determined not to hide his light under a bushel. The Los Angeles city marshal has ordered all slaughter houses to remove out of the city limits. The Lombardy poplars around Mr. Langenberger's vineyard lift their stately heads so high as to be visible for miles. Why do not more of our citizens plant them out, since they so well repay the trouble? Dr. W. T. Lucky, school superintendent of Los Angeles, and Mr. Harmon, shorthand reporter for the district court, were in town yesterday, in addition to various other gentlemen of Los Angeles. Mr. McFadden will ship 1000 wethers from Newport tomorrow for the San Francisco market. We regret to learn that Judge Bailey is seriously sick—even dangerously so. This year will be a great year for the American nation. It is leap year, presidential election year and the centennial anniversary of our independence, and for the purpose of giving us a rest during so much excitement, there will be one extra Sunday, or fifty-three in all. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 74 sacks of potatoes, four cases of eggs, one sack potatoes, 10 boxes eggs, nine pipes wine, one carload brea, one box butter. Mr. Menzel has our thanks for having sent us up a lunch the other day. It was a thoughtful expression of the fact that he perceived one, "lean and hungry" look. We are sorry to learn of the burning on Sunday of the storehouse of Henry Charles at San Juan. In attempting to save some of the goods, Mr. Mendelson was hurt badly in the foot. Several wagons passed through Anaheim yesterday, loaded lifted off its back hill. Several wives severely shaken is no telling what they have claimed for had gone on at the runaway Fred Mickle who rear.

Several wagons passed through Anaheim yesterday, loaded with ornamental and fruit trees of different kinds. It is rumored that the San Joaquin and Santiago ranches are both sold to Messrs. Sunin and Blancher of Minnesota for the purpose of founding a Scandinavian colony. T. J. Askins brought a specimen of the splendid stock he has for sale into town last evening. We have seldom seen a more splendid animal. A telegram from Washington says: The commissioner of the general land office decides, regarding the Las Bolsas ranch controversy, that the survey which was approved by the district court under the act of 1876, in case of Yorba and others, who were entitled to one undivided half, must be approved as the present measure of the right of parties who derive title from Jose Justo Murillo, confirmed, also of an undivided half. The roads are now in fine condition for driving, and there are only two things which prevent some of us enjoying them. The first is a lack of horses, and the second the lack of a buggy. William McPherson broke his leg a few days ago in Los Angeles. He is well known as the author of an eccentric work called "Arabesques Upon a California Dinner Table." Died—In Anaheim, March 2, Flora, daughter of Rudolf and Malvina Luedke, aged 16 years. The Sacramento reporter of a Los Angeles paper says: There is little probability of the bill dividing Los Angeles county and creating the county of Santa Ana becoming a law, as the entire delegation from Los Angeles, both in the Senate and the Assembly, are strongly opposed to the measure and will discountenance it by every means in their power. Judge Evey of Anaheim is here and represents the divisionists. He will appear before the committee of the Assembly on counties and county boundaries during the ensuing week in support of the bill. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 7, 1901 Death missed a harvest at the grade. A wagonload of school children in a runaway narrowly escaped with their lives. On Saturday afternoon, as the children of the West Anaheim and Katella schools were returning from a picnic in Santiago, a large beet wagon drawn by four horses and driven by Lorin Henderson, in which were seated some thirty children with two teachers, Miss Darby and Mrs. Spencer, was wrecked. As the wagon was about half way down the El Modena grade the brake rod snapped in two, throwing the wagon down on the wheel horses. The wagon attained great speed and narrowly escaped pitching off the steep embankment. To escape running off the grade, Henderson headed the wagon into the side of the hill. At the first impact the wagon lifted off its bed, precipitating the children upon the side of the hill. Several were unconscious, many were bleeding and all were severely shaken up. Had the wagon fallen the other way, there is no telling what a harvest of death the Grim Reaper might not have claimed for his own. One other wagon containing children had gone on ahead and was miles away and out of danger from the runaway team, which plunged madly down the hill. Mrs. Fred Mickle was returning from the picnic, a short distance in the rear. She alighted and ran to the scene of the accident, rendering such assistance as in her power lay. By some wise forethought she had brought along a quantity of court plaster, bandages, etc., and these articles were put to good use. Among the injured children she found her boy unconscious and her daughter with a bad NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Ansin Rubins, Decased. Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, S. W.

One other wagon containing children had gone on ahead and was miles away and out of danger from the runaway team, which plunged madly down the hill. Mrs. Fred Mickle was returning from the picnic, a short distance in the rear. She alighted and ran to the scene of the accident, rendering such assistance as in her power lay. By some wise forethought she had brought along a quantity of court plaster, bandages, etc., and these articles were put to good use. Among the injured children she found her boy unconscious and her daughter with a bad scalp wound. The good people of El Modena and Orange did all in their power to assist in caring for the injured. Many of the children were taken to their homes, some for the night and others until such time as their injuries would admit of moving them. Professor Bird, Mrs. Kendrick and Mrs. Bertha Bennerscheidt, who were in a third wagon, went to the rescue as soon as possible and cared for the sufferers as best they could. Miss Darby, one of the teachers in the wreck, was badly bruised but, forgetting her own injuries, she set about caring for the injured until physicians arrived, when she fell in a faint. Those injured in the wreck were: Walter Mickle, at first thought to be fatally injured, was unconscious 12 hours, serious injuries about the head, was taken to the residence of Dr. Wood at Orange but is now at home and recovering; Marie Bennerscheidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bennerscheidt, severe scalp wound, at first feared her skull was crushed, now at the home of Richard Pearson, at El Modena, and it is confidently thought that she will recover; David Christen, severe cut on forehead and wrist broken; Charley Darling, knocked unconscious, badly shaken up; Lala Duckworth, Maude Mickle, Gracie Sparks, Earl Spencer, Fred Weise, Amelia Green, Percy Elliott, Clarence Breeding, Willie Kuhn, scalp wounds; Gretchen Weisel, left arm and collarbone broken, taken to Dr. Wood's, where she remains; Russel Evans, back hurt; Mrs. Hattie Spencer, foot sprained. Charlie Norman and a crew of men went to the scene of the accident Sunday morning and cleared up the wreck. He brought back the wrecked wagon, which was run into the blacksmith shop for repairs. Mrs. Garfias and her grandson, Manuel, visited in town during the week, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rimpau. She departed on Tuesday for Yuma. Eddie Crowther, the Placentia violin virtuoso, was in town on Tuesday afternoon on a short pasear. William Falkenstein and wife visited in San Bernardino during the week. They returned last evening. L. Guenther died at his home on Los Angeles street yesterday. He had been ill for a fortnight, being afflicted with erysipelas, which concentrated in his face. Deceased was one of the original pioneers of Anaheim and came here in 1860. His wife died in 1878. Mrs. Gustave Heiman, Mrs. Richard Heiman and Mrs. Sorensen were with deceased at the end. The funeral will be on Friday, at 10 a.m., from the residence, and 10:30 from the Catholic church.

The funeral occurred yesterday at 2 o'clock. A telephone message from Los Angeles yesterday morning brings news of the birth of a son, March 5, at 2 a.m., to Mrs. Louis Passmore. Born—At the Columbia oil wells, March 1, to the wife of R. Ingram, a daughter. The engagement is announced of Miss Mable Middleham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Middleham of this city to Waldo Brown of Fullerton. The wedding will take place in the fall. Matt Everhady, son of Uncle Jake Everhardy of this city, suffered the loss of $280 on Saturday night, when burglars entered his meat market, at the corner of Third and Spring streets in Los Angeles, and opened the safe with duplicate keys. No clue so far has been found of the thieves. Al Smith was in town on Saturday from his walnut ranch east of Fullerton. Lewis & Zeus had the misfortune on Friday morning to lose a valuable horse which, while running about the corral in the rear of the stable, thrust a projecting piece of broken board into its side. Dr. Sellac was telephoned to at Santa Ana and came over on the 8 o'clock train. He found the animal past recovery, and it died shortly afterwards. Oscar Luedke has disposed of his jewelry business to his brother, Adolph, and will retire for a season, during which he may take a trip to Europe. Mr. Rae has installed a pumping plant at his ranch at Katella and has let a contract to Clarence Groat for the laying of 1320 feet of cement ditch on his east line. T. S. Grimshaw, while working in the Griffith planing mill on Thursday, had the middle finger of his left hand caught in the cog-wheels of the machinery and narrowly escaped the loss of it. Several stitches had to be taken in it. No doubt Europe would be willing to fight the world war over again if somebody would only lend her the money to do it. Scientists say that women stand the cold much better than men. Quite right. Very few men can even stand the cold shoulder. TIMETABLE A. T. & 8. F. By.
