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. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1877 A little boy, Frank Dyer, the son of Mr. J. J. Dyer, was badly injured on Sunday. Mr. Dyer was taking his family to the picnic grounds in a wagon drawn by a hitherto remarkably quiet horse. The child, 3 years old, was seated on a stool in front of the wagon. As they were passing along Sycamore street, near Mr. Korn's residence, the horse suddenly began to kick. It is supposed the horse was stung by something. The first kick struck the child in the back of the head, tearing his skull fearfully. Dr. Hardin dressed the wound, and it is thought he may recover. The Knights of the Road have lately chosen this section of the country for their operations, much to the disgust of the travelers and stage drivers, and with very little profit to themselves. On Saturda night the stage from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano was stopped on the San Joaquin rancho, at the same spot where the attempt was made which resulted in the shooting of Mr. Smith. Three men, masked and with their feet tied in sacks to prevent their measure being taken, stepped out into the road from behind a tree and commanded the driver to stop. He stopped the stage at their request and handed down the express box. They then permitted him to drive on. On Sunday, Mr. Cleft, the agent of the stage company, and Mr. Barham, deputy sheriff, went to the place and found the box, together with an axe and the masks which had been worn by the robbers. The express box contained about $40 in coin.

The express box contained about $40 in coin. Messrs. Look and Leonard have discovered a trick by which to make money in the butcher business, and at the same time give satisfaction to their customers. They have procured the finest beef that was ever brought to this section, and so large that they do not need to slaughter but one a day. The one brought in yesterday weighed 1280 pounds when dressed, and was as tender as a spring chicken. In pursuance of a generally expressed desire, Prof. R. T. Yarndley is endeavoring to organize a choral society. A preliminary was held at his house on Tuesday evening, at which a number of ladies and gentlemen were present, and it was determined to organize a glee and choral society for the study of the higher masters. Another meeting will be held at the same place at 7:30 o'clock, Saturday evening, at which all singers who desire to take part in this society are requested to be present. Professor Yarndley has been a director of several such societies and is an accomplished musician. Mr. B. F. Seibert informs us that business at the Bank of Anaheim has been exceedingly good for the last few days. Large amounts have been paid out to the farmers for grain and produce bought by San Francisco merchants. Our next door neighbor, Mr. C. Mosseman, is giving his place of business a thorough overhauling, and will soon come out in bright, new colors. Mr. Paty brought to town yesterday a specimen closely resembling anthracite coal. It was taken from the Brea canyon. Mr. Hindes brought to our office yesterday some pieces of rare old English coin, some coined in the reign of Charles II., and others during the reign of George III. One of the coins was dated 1673. On visiting the Alden dryer yesterday, we found Mr. Sorenson busily engaged in making preparations to enlarge the building. Another evaporator will be added, and better and more powerful machinery will be used the coming season. Mr. Sorenson says that he received orders for goods nearly every day from Mr. Heimann, who is making large sales in San Francisco and the upper counties. We publish today the advertisement of Frank Ey, who has obtained the agency of J. W. Shaeffer's cigar manufacturing plant. Frank proposes to furnish the retail trade of this section with good goods at low prices. A beautiful flower of the magnolia can be seen at Langenberger's store. There are a dozen buds on the tree from which this flower was taken. F. A. Korn, who has been visiting in San Francisco, arrived Heimann, who is making large sales in San Francisco and the upper counties.

There are a dozen buds on the tree from which this flower was taken. F. A. Korn, who has been visiting in San Francisco, arrived home last night. A brother of John Wagner, who has just returned from a trip to his brother's sheep camp, dropped in to see us yesterday. We learn that Wagner got as far as Soda Lake with his band of 9000 sheep, but at that point they refused to drink the water. The sheep and men being absolutely worn out, it was decided to make a retreat, and before getting back to food and water 800 sheep perished. Wagner's camp is now at Fish Ponds, on the Mojave. The bands is now in splendid condition, and it is proposed to summer in the San Bernardino mountains, where there is abundance of feed. At a favorable opportunity they will be sent by railroad to Yuma. The Democratic county committee met at Los Angeles yesterday. Messrs. G. H. Smith and E. E. Hewitt tendered their resignations as members of the committee. M. Newmark was elected president. The Republican county committee also held a meeting. The only important business transacted was the apportionment of delegates to the different precincts. Mr. William Bailey has 1100 mutton sheep at the depot, ready for shipment. Mr. J. Jordan has procured ample pasturage for his sheep near San Gorgonia pass. Shipments from the depot this week include 34 kegs beer, 1 box bottles, 24 empty boxes, 1 coop chickens, 20 kegs wine, 6 boxes eggs, 6 cars sheep, 2 bales sacks, 55 sacks potatoes, 1 sack saddles, 9 boxes lemons, 2 barrels wine, 2 sewing machines. George Bauer has removed his boot and shoe shop to the adobe building adjoining Gaddy & Lewis' stable. Miss Minnie Calisher and Mrs. H. A. Stough have opened a dressmaking establishment over The Gazette office. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1902 The pupils of the grammar school will hold memorial exercises this afternoon, beginning at 2:30 p.m., in Professor Little's room at the Central school.

After 16 months of careful test, the Los Angeles police department has added a fleet of twenty cars to increase the scope of work theretofore done by 50 motorcycles. Captain C. J. Sweeney, in charge of motor transportation of the department, stated that out of 55 motorcycle officers on duty last year, 43 were injured, several so seriously that they were permanently disabled. Injuries of the officers, together with inclement weather, caused a total loss of 5022 working days in the motorcycle squad. During the same period of time one car, then on trial, did not lose a single day and worked sixteen out of twenty-four hours. These 20 new cars are equipped, front and rear, with the new type Hassler shock absorbers, according to information received by Manager Joe Hunt of the Western Auto Supply Company, retail distributors of the Hassler product. "It is easily understood why his particular make of shock absorber was adopted for this fleet of police cars," says Mr. Hunt. "In policing the highways, these cars are subjected to various speeds, practically all road conditions, and are under constant use. 6 hours each day." Hasslers are made to withstand the most severe punishment and will give cautious service for the life of the car without any upkeep expense. The new Hassler is said to apply a new principle of smooth friction to the checking of the rebound and providing better roadability. Heretofore a checking device which was adjusted for good results on unpaved roads gave a hard, jolly effect when subjected to the minor inequalities of the city boulevards. The smooth friction feature overcomes this and guarantees maximum riding comfort under all conditions. Roads Uncertain in Flood Area of South Cornet Solo...

A program will be given in Bank hall, in Fullerton, in the afternoon. S. A. Davis of Santa Ana will be the orator of the day. A program of music and recitations will follow. It is hoped that all persons in business will close their respective places between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 m. and join with other patriotic citizens in strewing the graves of our honored dead with flowers. C. L. Hanson, a Los Angeles capitalist, and W. S. Collins of Riverside are associated in an enterprise that has absorbed Newport Beach. The deal was closed some days ago, and possession has passed to the purchasers. In the new syndicate are said to be several wealthy New Yorkers. The Newport Wharf and Lumber Company was former owner of the holdings that have been transferred. The transfer includes the hotel, warehouse, cottages and all holdings of the Newport Wharf and Lumber Company at the beach, covering the 800 acres of land of the resort, which is protected by a United States patent. The purchase price is withheld for the present, but it is known to be above $60,000, which amount has been refused for the property. Men and teams will be put to work at once grading the streets of the town; new cottages will be erected, and a gas and electric plant and water works are among the improvements contemplated. Newport Beach is already a resort of considerable prominence, and in summer has a population varying from 500 to 1000. The new owners will not permit liquor to be sold in the confines of their holdings. It is expected that the Huntington-Hellman interurban electric system will in a short time be operating cars between Newport Beach and Los Angeles. We regret to hear of the serious illness of our friend, Judge Landell of Buena Park, and we trust his condition may improve and that he may be entirely restored to health. George Peters announces himself as a candidate for the office of county recorder. He has served in the office faithfully as a deputy and is entitled to honorable promotion.

Roads Uncertain in Flood Area of South Flood conditions throughout the South still offer difficulties and danger to motor travel, according to advises to official advises. Motoring parties have been filtering through in various places during the past week, it is reported, but changing conditions and prospects of more floods make the routes extremely uncertain. Motoring travel generally is being advised not to attempt to travel through the flood zones at the present time. The grandson of the man who blew out the gas now starts the automobile engine with the car in a closed garage. CHURCH CALENDAR Baptist, Galery Baptist Woman's Union, first Thursday, all day.

Benjamin P. Johnson and Miss Katie Hunt of the West End were married on Wednesday at Santa Ana by Judge Willson. Construct 705-Mile Highway for Cuba Costs of building roads in California are very reasonable when compared with the expense of paving in Cuba, it is indicated in reports of the cost of a Cuban highway recently noted. According to this announcement, contracts have been let for a paving project 705 miles long, from Pinar del Rio via Havana, Matanzas, Santa Clara and Campagney to Santiago. It is to be paved the entire length, to a width of 20 2-3 feet, with six-foot shoulders. The total cost will be $75,870,000, or an average of $107,465 per mile. The contracts call for completion of the project in five years. A 10-cent gasoline tax is one of the means used for financing the highway. CHECK CASH REVENUE A recent check of an eastern state indicated that the cash revenue from motor tourists during the past year was $12,000 for each mile of state highway. If this can be relied upon, it is pointed out that this state receives an annual revenue from this source of more than $80,000,000.
