IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hi of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1877 At the meeting of the fire company on Monday night, the secretary reported the amounts received and expended by the picnic committee. The committee on by-laws made their report, which was laid on the table and the committee discharged. Thirty-eight members signed the constitution. Messrs. Plato, Zeyn, Blanken, Lynill, Payne, Sorenson, and Bennerscheidt were appointed a committee to assist the brass band in the details of the picnic to be given on the Fourth of July. It was moved and carried that a committee of three, of whom one is to be the chief, be appointed, with authority to use the funds of the treasury to purchase the most necessary utensils and equipment for the use of the fire department, provided the trustees of the town of Anaheim will issue to the fire department the same amount of town warrants. Messrs. Blanken and Knox were appointed such committee to act in conjunction with the chief. An individual was arrested yesterday for stealing some money from N. H. Mitchell. Pending trial, he was lodged in jail. Officer Bohn went to the jail yesterday afternoon for the purpose of giving the prisoner some water, and while he went to the well for the fluid, the prisoner embraced the opportunity offered by an open door, and made a dash for freedom. He had got some distance ere Bohn discovered his flight, and there ensued a chase. The prisoner was finally captured by the agile Bohn, but not until that fleet-footed officer had drawn a revolver and threatened Anaheim will issue to the fire department the same amount of town warrants.

Granet was returning home from his place of business, he had the misfortune to step on a small piece of board which caused him to slip and fall heavily upon his shoulder, dislocating it. He was immediately attended by Dr. Ellis, and is now on a fair way to recovery. The latest wrinkle is the establishment of a bathhouse in Anaheim, where hot and cold baths may be obtained for 15 cents. A telegram says: "Mr. Hahn and wife of Anaheim, who were returning from Europe, were on the City of San Francisco when that vessel went down. They lost over $3000 worth of rare presents bought for friends at home." The Mr. Hahn alluded to in the above dispatch was a resident of Anaheim 10 years ago, and owned the vineyard now belonging to Mr. F. A. Korn. Some of the presents may have been intended for his friends here, and there is mourning in consequence. A little daughter of Mr. Bauer fell into the ditch yesterday. She was rescued just in time to escape drowning. The annual examination in the public schools was commenced on Monday morning. The principal exercises of that day were in history, composition, geography, and arithmetic. Yesterday, the forenoon was occupied with arithmetic, botany, and reading. In the afternoon the advanced class in arithmetic recited. The closing recitation consisted of the reading of letters and compositions by the pupils, which showed a fair, practical acquaintance with the English language. By Mr. Guinn's request, W. H. Henderson made a few appropriate remarks at the close, after which Master Mannie Davis stepped forward and presented Mr. Guinn with a handsome gold-mounted cane. This testimonial was the gift, we understand, of Mr. P. Davis and is expressive of his high appreciation of his son's teacher. There was a good attendance of visitors present, and all seemed well pleased with the proceedings. The examination of the intermediate department will be concluded this morning, and that of the primary school this afternoon. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Company are preparing to add a steam corn-sheller to their already extensive machinery. This will be a great convenience to the farmers, as they can then shell as much of their corn as they see proper, and ship it direct, without employing extra labor. The committee of observation appointed by the town council will visit every bridge and zanja in the town today.

The teachers extend their thanks to Mrs. Bowley of Westminster, and to the other ladies and gentlemen who assisted towards making the affair a success. A horse was stolen from Peter Eschelbach on Monday night. There are evidently some parties about who require hempen elevation. A clergyman of Lowell, Mass., is of the opinion that children now living will see the day when intoxicating liquors will neither be made nor sold in this country. We are afraid the gentleman is of rather too sanguine a temperament. Eighty-six marriage licenses were issued by the county clerk of this county (Los Angeles) during the month of May. We received an order yesterday to print some stylish wedding cards. But we won't tell who they are for. At least one thousand tons of hay will be sold from Westminster this season. The petition of Orangethorpe school district for the addition of a portion of Anaheim district to its territory was granted by the board of supervisors on Monday, under the protest of the school superintendent. McPherson & Company and Edwards & Company have their headers in full operation in Westminster. Reapers and mowers are working steadily, and the hay and grain crops are being rapidly cut.

Wright to Miss Annie Bremermann. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1902 The election for school trustee on Friday resulted in the choice of Arthur Lewis to take the place of J. H. Clabaugh, who retires. Uncle Jacob Everhardy paid over to Ed Kraemer the stakes deposited with Roman Wisser in January on a wager that it would rain 10 inches from the time of making the bet until the first of June. Uncle Jake was an inch and three-quarters shy at the time of deciding the bet. Ed Kraemer is thinking of regaling his friends with a barbecue on the strength of his reputation as a weather prophet. Roadmaster Norman has completed the oiling of the county road running west of town, by the Snodgrass, Spooner, and Henry places, also the Garden Grove road.

Four hundred people attended the United Confederate Veterans' picnic at the county park some days ago. Horace Head of Fullerton delivered an address on "The Life and Deeds of Jefferson Davis." One of the interesting features of the program was the exercises given by 13 young girls representing the thirteen Confederate states. Each of the girls spoke briefly of some general from the state. These exercises were conducted by Mrs. Victor Montgomery. Mrs. Montgomery also read a poem on the "Cross of Honor." In the afternoon an address was delivered by Rev. R. R. Raymond. Brief talks were made by W. L. Yantis, R. B. Guthrie and T. C. Welch, the day closing with reminiscences of the war and the singing of old-time songs.

OLD-TIME BOOM TOWN Once the pride of the boom town of St James, the building now known as the Park hotel, and situated at Atchison street, across from the Santa Fe station at Orange, has been sold for $300 and is shortly to be razed, it is announced by F. E. Haltman, who made the deal with a Santa Ana wrecking firm for Joseph Carroll of Anaheim, the owner. St James was the town started near Olive, about 50 years ago, by a group of Pioneers who planned to develop the section now included in the Valencia orange belt around the city of St James. The Park hotel was built as a combination store and hotel by J. W. Shanklin. After a struggle of several years for existence, the town gradually disintegrated and the residents moved either to Olive or to Orange. The principal building of the city, the hotel, was moved to Orange. Joseph Carroll purchased the structure about four years ago.

On Monday evening, at 9 o'clock, a thunder storm sprang up and heavy drops of rain fell, while prolonged and vivid flashes of lightning lit up the sky. Tuesday was pleasant until 4:30 o'clock, when hail fell the size of pigeon eggs, the phenomenon being without precedent in the history of the city. None of the hailstones were smaller than the tip of one's finger. The ground was covered with hail, when rain descended in torrents, 31 of an inch fell. From out of town, reports are to the effect that no damage resulted, the fall of the hail seeming to center itself over the city. Mr. Neff reports no loss to apricots or walnuts in his section, and from other quarters come similar reports. Russel G.
