IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histories of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 18, 1876 We called upon Mr. Rimpau, who was treasurer of the former city government, and asked him to furnish us the amount of payments shown in his books to have been made by the city. We were kindly given the following data. His official records embrace from September, 1870, to July, 1872. During that time the expenditures recorded on his books reach the sum of $2,527.99. He has on hand, in his official capacity, $30.79 belonging to the city. The city warrants unpaid amount to $360. The property of the city corporation consists of the jail and lot, the chairs, table, desk, etc., and an interest in the utensils of the hook and ladder company. This statement is made that the people may judge for themselves as to what the former incorporation cost, and to correct the impression that it amounts to even much more than it appears to have really done; and, in that regard, it is but a matter of justice to the gentlemen officially connected with the former incorporation that we should give the facts shown by the books. Some young ladies, while navigating in Mr. Korn's buggy, yesterday afternoon, had the misfortune to capsize the craft, making so much of a wreck as to render blacksmith bills an inevitable consequence. The train did not come down from Los Angeles yesterday Mrs. Hart pleasantly on Thursday in honor of St. Paul the second by very delicious guests returned Mrs. Polhe walnuts the size from a tree in the nuts were developed and reported in this Miss Melan Ana on Friday in excellent voice on the piano by Oscar Renner has returned to will be pleased During his absurd and for a short Some young ladies, while navigating in Mr. Korn's buggy, yesterday afternoon, had the misfortune to capsize the craft, making so much of a wreck as to render blacksmith bills an inevitable consequence. The train did not come down from Los Angeles yesterday morning. This was owing to something being out of order on the San Fernando route. Our route may be excelled in some respects, but in irregularities it can beat any railroad that ever sold a ticket. The legislature has granted James W. Marshall for life a monthly pension of $150, on account of his having been the first discoverer of gold in California. A bill granting General John A. Sutter $250 per month was at the same time ordered engrossed. Real estate transactions were lively in town yesterday. Mr. Jordon purchased from Mr. Josephson the lot at the corner of Clementina and Broadway, also an acre of land from the vineyard of John Kneipe on Center street. Messrs. Birch and Tichenal of Santa Ana were in town yesterday. They report everything flourishing in their town. John Bush brought into town yesterday a four-horse load of wood.

The lady who lost two bewitching curls on the night of the festival can recover them and the hairpins attached upon calling in person at this office and making affidavit of ownership. Ed Lyon of the firm of Kimball & Lyon has established his office on Center street, near the corner of Los Angeles, for the transaction of real estate and general insurance business. We wish him success in his new undertaking. (Mr. Lyon was the first real estate agent to open an office in Anaheim.—Ed.) A splendid artesian well has been struck on Mr. Bancroft's rancho. Three distinct streams of water were found within 220 feet of the surface, showing that there is no lack of water in that section.

The necessity of constructing a good racetrack near our town was sensibly and earnestly discussed yesterday afternoon. The United States patent for the townsite of San Juan Capistrano was received in the United States land office in Los Angeles yesterday. There was a large gathering at the social dance given by John Given on Tuesday night. A whale, 90 feet long, was washed ashore near Santa Monica a few days ago. Dr. Cox, grand chaplain of the grand lodge of F. and A. M. of San Francisco paid us a visit yesterday. Mr. Tyler tells us that he will ship, free of charge, all contributions of grain, curiosities, etc., which our people may wish to forward through the railroad authorities to be exhibited at the Centennial exposition. The undertaker at the funeral of Mrs. Fruit, which took place yesterday at Santa Ana, was so unfortunate as to have his team run away with the hearse, and to be himself thrown under the wheels. He is not thought to be badly hurt. Attention is called to the opening of the Tivoli Garden, near the depot, on Sunday. It will be the scene of much merriment and good cheer. Charles Lefond, a newcomer among us, has taken charge of the gardens, and promises to make that beautiful spot one of the most popular resorts in the county. The public will see by the telegram in today's issue that the bill incorporating Anaheim has passed and become a law. The following is a list of jurors from this section, summoned to attend the district court: A. J. Brown, D. E. Miles, D. J. Watson, J. H. Prather, T. J. Askin and James Viles.

The decorations were in green, in honor of St. Patrick. The first prize was won by Mrs. Hartung, the second by Mrs. Asher and the consolation by Mrs. Kirby. A very delicious collation was served after the game, and later the guests returned to their homes. Mrs. Polhemus brought in yesterday two fully developed walnuts the size of pigeon eggs or larger, which she gathered from a tree in her orchard at Miraflores. The tree from which the nuts were gathered contains a dozen, all of them well developed and doing well. They are the earliest walnuts ever reported in this section.

Lineberger, providing for an appropriation of $200,000 for the year ending June 30, 1927, and a like amount for each of the succeeding four years, had passed the Senate committee of agriculture.

Fosseck has been seriously ill for the past three weeks with a severe attack of neuralgia. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. Ed Bustamente came over from Redlands several days ago for a short visit to his folks. He reports the town booming and 17 blind pigs doing a rushing business. Colonel and Mrs. Clark of Washington, D. C., who have been visiting their son, Dr. George Clark of Fullerton, returned home this week. The visit of President Hays of the Southern Pacific Company last week and the rumors of the purchase by that company of nine acres of land in the Dreyfus tract for the erection of machine shops, as well as the purchase of the Hotel del Campo for a railroad hospital, have continued to be the popular theme of discussion during the week. Mr. Carver, lessee of the Del Campo, says that the report that he had been notified to vacate the premises is not true. The owners of the building have agreed to give him 30 days' notice of any change. The board of supervisors some days ago decided upon the award of contracts for the new courthouse furniture. C. F. Weber & Company, Yawman, Erbe & Company of San Francisco and J. M. Griffith Company were the successful bidders. The contracts call for wood and metal furniture, counters, bookcases, etc., to the value of $14,000. A considerable portion of the wood-work will be done by the J. M. Griffith Company and local labor will be employed. It will probably be fall before the building will be ready for occupancy.

It is too early as yet to predict final favorable action, but the situation is very encouraging. Phone 311-310 W. A.
