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, OCTOBER 7, 1876 An accident attended with serious consequences occurred last night. The Anaheim hotel stage, driven by N. H. Mitchell, was overturned near A. Guy Smith & Company's lumber yard, while conveying passengers from the depot to town. The driver's injuries were apparently so severe that it was generally believed his recovery was impossible, but an examination by physicians showed that he was not mortally wounded. R. J. Wolf, the manager of the hotel, had his hand badly smashed and, we are told, received severe internal injuries. Ed Mateer, the conductor of the train, was badly bruised about the face and suffers from the terrible shaking up. Fred W. Athearn of The Gazette received an ugly cut on the head, from which the blood flowed copiously. He is also severely bruised about the shoulders, neck and arms. Louis Wartenberg, with his usual good luck, escaped with a slight contusion on the jaw, which, though painful, is not serious. John Glifford is the only one who escaped unhurt. We cannot refrain from saying that we hope the pernicious practice of fast driving has received its quietus from last evening's disaster. The Anaheim Literary Society held their regular meeting on Monday evening. The chair was filled by the vice-president, and the meeting called to order. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Messrs. Fred Rimpau and H. Cahen were appointed a committee to purchase chairs for the accommodation of visitors. A committee consisting of E. F. Cahill, F. W. Athearn, W. H. Henderson, T. S. Grimshaw, J. M. Guinn, Fred Rimpau and H. Blanken were appointed to arrange for an entertainment to be given by the society.

F. Cahill, F. W. Athearn, W. H. Henderson, T. S. Grimshaw, J. M. Guinn, Fred Rimpau and H. Blanken were appointed to arrange for an entertainment to be given by the society. Mr. Forth and Mr. Plato being absent, Mr. Athearn gave a recitation, followed by a debate upon the question: "Resolved, That newspaper articles should be signed by the writer," E. F. Cahill for the affirmative and J. M. Guinn for the negative. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The following officers were elected for the new term: E. F. Cahill, president; F. M. Cahill, vice-president; T. S. Grimshaw, secretary; Fred Rimpau, treasurer; D. Nagle, sergeant-at-arms. The question for the next meeting will be: "Resolved, That a single life is more conducive to happiness than the married state." Theodore Lynn, assisted by Messrs. A. Nagle, T. S. Grimshaw and Ed Schubert, will argue the affirmative, and Fred W. Athearn, assisted by Messrs. F. M. Cahill, A. G. Beebe and S. B. Smith, will support the negative. Messrs. J. M. Guinn and W. M. McFadden were selected for declamation. A standing committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Lynn, Paine and Cahen, were appointed as program committee for the new term. The meeting then adjourned until Monday evening, October 9, at 7:30 o'clock. We now learn that Hon. P. D. Wigginton, in conjunction with Frank Ganahl, will speak in Santa Ana, on the twenty-third, in Anaheim the twenty-fourth, and in Downey City on the twenty-fifth of this month. We were shown yesterday a specimen of work done at the Centennial. It was a pair of suspenders sent to Doblin by his parents. Embroidered with blue silk on the suspenders werg the words, "1776—To our son, Jacob Doblin—1876," and altogether they are the most gorgeous "galluses" we ever remember to have seen. Jake intends to wear them over his coat. D. Plato and nephew will arrive from San Francisco this evening. The building adjoining Enterprise hall has been rented to Chinamen, who propose to start a laundry. The establishment of this enterprise will fill a void long felt in Anaheim. The contest between the Literary societies of Orange and Anaheim took place Friday evening, at the hall of the Anaheim society. Quite a crowd assembled to witness the wrestling of the giant intellects. The entertainment was opened by recitations by Messrs. Athearn and Schubert of Anaheim and Mr. Blasdale of Orange, after which a fine essay was read by Mr. McGlbbon of Orange. A committee consisting of Messrs. Moye Wicks, J. B. Pierce and B. H. Bancroft was chosen to decide upon the merits of the debate, and then came the "tug-o'-war." The question under discussion was: "Resolved, That war has done more to advance the cause of civilization than peace." Messrs. A. Johnson, W. L. Oge, H. H. Messenger, W. R. Barber, in behalf of the Orange society, argued on the negative, and Messrs. Theodore Lynn, J. M. Guinn, W. H. Henderson and E. F. Cahill assumed the affirmative on behalf of the society of Anaheim.

Tyler, the gentlemanly agent at the Anaheim depot, leaves today for a short visit to the east. His place will be filled by T. A. Darling. That excellent blacksmith, H. McDermott, has an advertisement in this week's paper. Read it! T. S. Grimshaw also has a new advertisement in the paper this morning. This gentleman is gaining a reputation of being a very superior mechanic. The race for $300 a side between Beauchamp's and Meyer's horses takes place next Friday at Robert's track, three miles northwest of Anaheim, on the Los Angeles road. J. H. Short has been engaged to sell pools on the ground. On the following day it is expected to have a series of races. We learn that the attendance at the race course will be large. Theodore Reiser has sold his brewery to Thomas P. Hindi, who will, we hope, receive the same liberal patronage which Mr. Reiser has so long enjoyed. A Mexican woman who lives near this city, the wife of Juan Valencula, has been married 20 years and has borne 20 children. The lady is not yet 85 years old. Who says this is not a prolific climate? About 4 o'cclock yesterday morning, Night Watchman Bohn discovered a fire under head way among some old barrels in the yard of the Planters hotel. He extinguished it without being compelled to give an alarm. The fire was caused by ashes which had been dumped into the yard before being extinguished. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ISS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1901 The Chamber of Commerce is meeting with distinguished success in its efforts to locate in Anaheim a branch of the celebrated sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich. A fund of nearly $1000 has been raised to assist in purchasing a site, and much other good work accomplished. Let energetic work continue, and let all enterprising citizens lend a helping hand. Secretary Athearn of the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a descriptive sketch of the industries and resources of Anaheim, from which we take the following extracts: Location, the city of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the state of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-of-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The county is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The variety of products and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures and on easy terms make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: Oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a building and loan association, water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, two form bank several adequate commercial houses.

A. Connoly, ballot clerks; William Schumacher and Joseph Goodman, judges; James Conliff and J. H. Lotz, inspectors. There seems to be a general impression that incorporation will be again defeated. Peter Weisel informs us that the cannery has closed down for the season. The output has been 80 carloads of canned fruits and vegetables—apricots, peaches, tomatoes, etc. It was not so large as last year by 20 tons, on account of the scant tomato crop. The cannery last year made a record run on tomatoes, many carloads being shipped to the Philippines and Europe.
