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 SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1876 The Anaheim Literary Society held its first debate on Monday evening, and a fair audience was present, in spite of the short notice given. The question was: Resolved, That capital punishment ought to be abolished, and was argued in the affirmative by Lynill, Austin, McFadden and Tombs. The negative was maintained by Montgomery, Cahill, Knox and Barham. The question was decided in the affirmative. The society meets again on Monday evening next, when the following question will be discussed: Resolved, That inventions tend to improve the condition of the laboring classes. There will also be declarations before the debate. It was noticed on Monday evening that no ladies were present. It is the earnest wish of the society to have the advantage of their presence and they are also respectfully invited to become members, there being no restriction as to sex. Nothing tends more to the elevation of character of such societies as the presence of ladies, and we hope the fair ones of Anaheim will not frown on this laudable effort to encourage literary pursuits. The ranks of the society were increased by the accession to membership of the following gentlemen: R. Luedke, E. F. Cahill, D. Calisher, G. D. Plato, T. W. Cook, F. E. Mielenz and M. A. Mandelson.

The following document was circulated for signatures yesterday: Notice—We, the undersigned citizens of Anaheim, wish to form ourselves into an association to be known as the "Anaheim Anti-Coolie League," and we do hereby mutually pledge to each other to use all our influence and our best energies to prevent the influx of any cargoes of coolies into the state of California. After forming this association, we will appoint officers, to consist of a president, secretary and treasurer, and the members shall assemble at any time and place agreed upon. Realizing as we do the dangers which threaten us by reason of the presence here of at least three hundred Mongolians (one-sixth of the population of Anaheim), we believe the time has arrived when the white race must act for their own protection. All are requested to sign Anaheim, June 12, 1876. Clubs of this character are being formed all over the state, and it is only natural that Anaheim should join in the movement. Seventy-five signatures were obtained to the above document yesterday. A meeting will be held at Enterprise hall on Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of effecting an organization. Deputy Sheriff Barham has summoned the following grand jurors for the June term: De Witt C. Dimmick, Rudolph Luedke and Joseph W. Brackett. Addis bought a lot on Poplar Row (Lemon street) yesterday and will soon build a house thereon. At San Juan Capistrano, on Monday, during the recess of school, a son of Pablo Pryor was badly stabbed by a schoolmate. The knife entered the shoulder and inflicted quite an ugly gash. Goldstein is recovering from his severe attack of illness. Captain Granet celebrated the anniversary of his birth yesterday. T. D.

As Miss Anna Fischer and Dr. Yocum's little child were driving home from the depot last evening, the whiffle-tree broke, and the horse taking fright, ran away. Miss Fischer was thrown from the buggy, but fortunately escaped without serious injury. Dr. Yocum's child remained unhurt in the buggy. Near McDermott's blacksmith shop, on Lemon street, the horse and buggy parted company, the horse making for home at good speed, leaving the buggy to get home as best it might. The second auction sale of the effects of the late Adam Hill took place yesterday. The chief bone of contention among the bidders was the shop, which was run up to $3000 and knocked down to Joseph Jordan at that price. Two lots, adjoining the shop were sold to William Crowther at $155 and $165 respectively. Five acres in Anaheim extension were purchased by A. S. Addis for $112.50. McDermott bought most of the blacksmith tools, etc., and Grimshaw bought the lumber. The prices realized on the property were considerably larger than at the previous sale. J. H. Short acted as auctioneer. M. A. Mendelson of the Merchant Tailoring Emporium has forwarded for exhibition at the Centennial, a beautifully embroidered Castillian suit, the work of his own hands. The suit is historically correct, and this fact, added to the superb manner in which it is made, will make it a conspicuous object of interest at the Exposition. Orange Items—S. Armor and J. E. Parker, we learn, have received the contract to build the new schoolhouse.—Dr. Orme and lady have been visiting Colonel Travis this week.—Wiley Travis has taken a position as clerk in R. L.

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 THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1901 Company E boarded the afternoon north bound Santa Fe train on Friday for the state encampment at Santa Cruz. It occupied a special car which had been sidetracked for that purpose. Abohrd the train were the Santa Ana, San Diego and Riverside companies. There was much enthusiasm, and a large crowd was out to see the boys off. At the depot faucet the girls filled the boys' canteens, which were passed through windows of the car, while a guard stood at the front and rear platform. The company made a fine showing, 50 men being in line. They stood in company front at the armory until shortly before train time. A large crowd of friends gathered about to bid them Godspeed. When the boys marched to the depot the others fell in, and when the train pulled out the girls waved their handkerchiefs in a parting goodbye. Malicious persons some days ago raised the sluice gate of the reservoir on the Madame Modjeska ranch, in Santiago canyon, liberating water stored from the winter rains. Serious damage is apprehended to vegetation, as the reservoir cannot be again filled before winter. Four Santa Ana boys seen on the ranch at the time of the act are suspected. Officers are after them. Gus Stern is over from Fullerton to manage Stern Brothers' SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. It was ordered that the resignation of F. E. Howell, state traffic officer, be approved, to take effect June 15, 1926. The resignation of J. C.

Malicious persons some days ago raised the sluice gate of the reservoir on the Madame Modjeska ranch, in Santiago canyon, liberating water stored from the winter rains.

Officers are after them. Gus Stern is over from Fullerton to manage Stern Brothers' establishment during the absence of Herman Stern, who is at the Santa Cruz encampment. William Crowther of Placentia is wearing a face wreathed in smiles nowadays. He expects a walnut crop of between 50 and 60 tons, which ought to go better than $10,000. Last year his trees produced 40 tons and, if nothing happens the crop, the yield this year will show a 50 per cent increase. Zanjero Brunworth says that bad boys who go swimming in the main ditch east of town are breeding trouble. Some days ago he discovered several of them had placed an obstruction in the ditch and were enjoying a bath, among them one or two kids from Fullerton. Brunworth draws the line at that sort of thing, and will allow neither Anaheim nor Fullerton boys to transgress the water company rules. The boys were let off this time, but the next offense will be followed by arrest. Boys, don't swim in the ditches. John Hartung is confined to his home with a badly inflamed eye, into which a small quantity of watered ammonia was dropped by mistake, some evenings ago, in place of an oculist's solution which he had been using. Dr. Eddy was at once called to relieve the pain. John has been a patient sufferer for a week, and expects to be out again before long. John Everhardy was in town on Saturday, looking after his oil business. John has the distinction of being involved in a lawsuit with John W. Mackey, the millionaire, over mining property in Arizona. He owns 160 acres, upon which are springs which furnish Mackey the means of working his adjoining property. John has appropriated the water for his own use and Mackey has brought suit to recover the land, claiming its purchase by Everhardy was not according to law. Everhardy will give Mackey a contest in the United States court in Los Angeles, and has no doubt of the outcome, he having purchased the property regularly.

He had been a resident of Anaheim and vicinity for some ten years and was held in high esteem by all. He leaves a wife, son and four daughters, all grown, to mourn his loss. Uncle Jake Everhardy on Sunday hitched up four of his mules and, hooking them to a tally-ho, drove a party his friends through the beet fields of West Anaheim, Benedict and Los Alamitos to the Landing, where a basket picnic was enjoyed in one of the large warehouses at the beach.
