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, JUNE 23, 1877 Quite a bit of excitement was created in town yesterday by the news that an attempt had been made at highway robbery. We give the facts as near as we could gather them. About noon, a Chinaman came into town in search of an officer, stating that while he was near the residence of Mr. W. Parker, on Center street, a Mexican, mounted upon a white or gray horse, rode up to him and, presenting a pistol, demanded his money. The celestial gentleman immediately handed 50 cents to the desperado, who rode off toward Upper Santa Ana. Deputy Sheriff Barham, Constable Pullen and the Chinaman started in pursuit of the robber, but were unable to trace him beyond the Santa Ana river. A short time afterward, Mr. Pete Griffin came into Justice Bailey's court and stated that an attempt had been made to rob him while passing along Palm street. The robber snapped a pistol twice at him and succeeded in firing it once, the ball passing quite close to Mr. Griffin's face. A party by the name of Coso has been arrested, whom Mr. Griffin describes as being the man. Coso will make his appearance in court Monday. The Southern California Horticultural Society met in Los Angeles on Saturday. By-laws were adopted and the following officers were elected: President, J. de Barth Shorb of San Gabriel Mission; first vice-president, Thomas A. Garcy of Los Angeles; secretary, L. M. Holt of Pomona; treasurer, Milton Thomas of Los Angeles. It was decided to hold a horticultural, pomological and agricultural fair the coming fall, and a further discussion of the question and detailed arrangements were referred to the next meeting, which will be held on July 14. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, "Will It Pay to Bud the Orange Madame on Monday or repertoire. T the madame's dress to the hour's "Ah!

Nicho day for $12,000 of years ago The Southern California Horticultural Society met in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Holt of Pomona; treasurer, Milton Thomas of Los Angeles. It was decided to hold a horticultural, pomological and agricultural fair the coming fall, and a further discussion of the question and detailed arrangements were referred to the next meeting, which will be held on July 14. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, "Will It Pay to Bud the Orange and Will It Pay to Bud Bearing Trees?" Many interesting papers are being prepared bearing on this subject. Mr. G. H. Kellogg is building a house on the Laguna rancho, near the seaside. The building will contain six rooms. Mr. Kellogg and family propose to sojourn there during the hot summer months, and whatever rooms are unoccupied will be rented to those desiring them. At a convention of the bee men, held in Santiago canyon, some time ago, it was decided that the late hot weather had ruined all chances of a heavy crop this year, and that it would be all the bees could do to provide themselves with sufficient food. The Anaheim brass band's Fourth of July picnic promises to be an enjoyable occasion and worthy of the day. The members are sparing no effort to insure a large attendance, and are making every preparation to make the day one of jollity and good fellowship. The attendance from neighboring towns will probably be large, and we assure visitors that they will be accorded a hearty welcome. The denizens of Lemon street were awakened from their peaceful slumbers Tuesday night by the strains of sweet music, the occasion being a serenade at the home of Mr. G. Davis. The sweet sounds which were wafted through the orange trees were delicious, and listened to with great pleasure. A number of bunches of bananas raised upon the farm of Mr. H. H. Messenger, near Orange, were brought into town for sale yesterday. The brick cellar on the Hammel & Denker tract is now used as a dog pound. The Anaheim brass band gave a serenade at the residence of Mr. A. Bittner on Wednesday evening. We passed a delightful hour yesterday morning at the millinery parlors of Mrs. R. S. Yarndley, on Lemon street. A lady must have a taste extremely ultra who cannot satisfy herself from the large and well selected stock of that establishment. We were particularly pleased with the beautiful artificial flowers, and almost wished we were a girl, that we might with propriety adorn our hat with some of the elegant specimens. The Anaheim Cemetery Association held a meeting at the town hall yesterday afternoon. It was ordered that notice be sent to every member of the association, and that a general meeting be held on Saturday, June 30, at 2 p.m. A troupe of Yaqui Indians gave a performance at Manuel Arvello's house on Friday evening. It is said that their exhibition was quite interesting. The Anaheim Cemetery Association held a meeting at the town hall yesterday afternoon.

A signal service station will be established in Los Angeles by the first of July. It is stated that nearly 30,000 sheep perished on the Colorado desert during the late hot weather. Officer Bohn informs us that some robbers entered a house on Davis street, on Friday night, and stole $4 therefrom. Some of the stables at Agricultural park and 160 tons of hay were destroyed by fire on Friday night. The team attached to the mail wagon ran away last evening while Mr. Lewis was loading the mail at the cars. Mr. Lewis was thrown from the wagon but not injured. The horses were captured before they could do any damage. The country south of us is beginning to be prolific of candidates—Messrs. James McFadden, D. H. Collins, J. H. Moesser, Eben Hilton, M. F. Parker, and J. W. Anderson are talked of as Republican candidates for the assembly, in addition to Messrs. Freeman and Wilcox previously mentioned. The latter gentleman could get every delegate this side of the river if he would allow the use of his name. The Democrats are talking of J. H. Fruit. They could select no better man. Both parties will make every issue in the campaign subordinate to the water question, and all candidates for the senate or assembly will get few votes in this part of the county unless they fairly and squarely pledge themselves to represent the people fairly in this question. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1902 Madame Modjeska addressed Los Angeles high school pupils on Monday on "Rosalind," one of the best-loved characters of her repertoire. The sketch was one written under the oaks at Arden, the madame's canyon home in the Santiago canyon. In an address to the fair Rosalind, typical of the bright bits of soliloquy in the hour's talk, Modjeska said: "Ah! Rosalind, they praise thee for silence—silence means thinking, and thou art full of thought. Who knows what visions thy pure but fertile brain has spun in thy solitary hours? Hast thou not seen in thy mind's eye some hero, some youth with fair face and strong arm, pressing thee to his manly breast? Confess, sweet Rosalind, they heart is prepared and waiting for the magic touch. It soon will come and all they sorrow will be drowned in it. All will be forgotten and nothing left in the world but he, the incarnate vision of thy dreams." Madame Modjeska is of the opinion that Rosalind cannot be treated in a naturalistic manner. "The play," she says, "is an idyll and a poem, more than a comedy, and its heroine must be in harmony with it. She must not tread too heavily upon the ground, but touch it lightly with fleeting steps. Her merriment is not necessarily boisterous, but it must reach the ear pleasantly, as the echo of a child's laughter in the woods. Her love making is not a picnic flirtation, but an expression of true sentiment and an overflow of first spontaneous passion." P. Nicholas sold a piece of property in Los Angeles the other day for $12,000, near the site of the new postoffice. A number of years ago he bought it cheap for speculative purposes. 'Acidosis' Discussed By Dr. W.D. Sansum Eminent Diet Authority Lauds Value of Citrus Fruits "The greatest single factor in disease today is 'acidosis,' the correction of which will increase the average length of life ten years, and you citrus growers are correctly using scientific facts when you assert in your advertisements that, although known as acid fruits; oranges and lemons have an alkaline reaction in the blood which offsets the acidity caused by such good foods as meats, fish, eggs, cereals and breads," was the statement of Dr. W.D. Sansum, director of the Potter Metabolic Clinic, Santa Barbara, and nationally recognized dietetic authority, who addressed the exchange board of directors at a recent meeting. Dr. Sansum is the author of "The Normal Diet," a standard text on the subject. He considers all sound educational work which improves the lay conception of correct principles of diet a benefit to mankind, and it was for that reason that Dr. Sansum accepted the invitation of the advertising department to make a special trip to Los Angeles to tell exchange members of his work. The work of Dr. Sansum and his associates is well known to the medical profession, most of whose members are perfectly familiar with the importance of citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables in the daily diet. Laymen were told of the wonderful results of his diets and of the recognition and support given him by the Carnegie foundation in the April 23rd issue of the Saturday Evening Post, where Sam Blythe, a friend and former patient, lauds Dr. Sansum's work and commends his efforts to improve the health of the nation. People will study diet for their cows, hogs, or orange trees because they know means more milk, meat or more that correct food for animals or plants oranges. Humans also respond to diet, but the average layman has yet to be awakened and educated to the fact, according to this dietetic authority. treated in a naturalistic manner.

Schumacher, nephew of F. A. Korn, has received a letter from that gentleman dated Bremen, June 2, in which he says the voyage across the Atlantic had been pleasant, but the trip across the British channel had been stormy. Mr. Korn and his daughter, Miss Marie Horstman, left New York on May 13, on the steamship Frederick Wilhelm, and arrived at Bremen on June 1. They are enjoying themselves heartily in the old world. Julius P. Hatzfeldt, the well-known young druggist of this city, was married at Santa Ana, on Wednesday afternoon of last week, to Miss Marian Lyon. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served, to which a joyous company was invited. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfeldt went to Coronado on a short honeymoon trip. They have returned and gone to housekeeping in one of the Pratt cottages on Philadelphia street. One of the largest prairie fires in the history of Orange county raged at La Mirada on Monday. Over 1500 acres of land was burned, more than 1000 acres of which was uncut wheat that stood waist high. Damage is estimated at $10,000. The fire is supposed to have started from where section men were burning weeds. Word was sent for assistance, and farmers from all sections hurried to the scene. A strong wind was blowing, which soon carried the fire through the stubble fields, until the big wheat fields of D. Bastanchury were reached. Through this field, comprising 5000 acres, of which very little of the grain had been cut, the fire raced, and although it was being fought by 200 men, by noon had reached almost to La Habra valley. The hills were lined with teams and men working to stem the tide. One big header which had cut several swaths through the grain, in this way turning the fire, got too near the flames, which jumped across and scorched the mules. They turned suddenly, breaking the pinion crown wheel, tiller and shaft. The driver, J. E. Blacklaw, was thrown off, but not injured. The team, six mules, ran through the fire into a deep gulch, breaking the header into a thousand pieces. The burned territory extends over the hills a distance of five miles by two in width. Most of the damage done was to D. Bastanchury, who carried no insurance. Dr. Hasson of Buena Park was in town the other day and made us a pleasant call. Misses Johnson, Archibald, Potter and Kellenberger of Buena Park, have gone to Santa Cruz to attend the state Christian Endeavor convention. H. H. Gardner of Orange has completed laying 600 feet of 10-inch pipe for A. W. Danforth on the Miles tract, and a cement ditch 800 feet in length and of 100 inches capacity for Robert Waggoner on East street. C. H. Smith has secured the contract to build for Tousseau support given him by the Carnegie foundation in the April 23rd issue of the Saturday Evening Post, where Sam Bllythe, a friend and former patient, lauds Dr. Sansum's work and commends his efforts to improve the health of the nation.

Problems of farmers and all kinds of producers appear to be under consideration at Geneva, but no hint is given in the dispatches that any of the members of the economic conference ever heard of the fellow they call Ultimate Consumer. The pay in the pay envelope is now rising more rapidly than prices, according to the economists. Which is a conclusive answer to the old complaint that "the rich are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer." Dr. Hasson of Buena Park was in town the other day and made us a pleasant call.

Smith has secured the contract to build for Tousseau Brothers a $4000 residence, a 72x40 foot $1800 barn and a $500 tank house on the hill north of the Hettebrink ranch at Placentia. G. L. Wagner has been in town for some days past, visiting with relatives. He is located at La Cananea, a pretentious mining town of Sonora, having a population of 7000. Some weeks ago a band of 4000 Yaqui Indians had a ghost dance within 15 miles of the place. General Torres subsequently killed 2000 of them in battle. Mr. Wagner thinks the Yaquis will be exterminated and that the rich mineral section occupied by them will be opened to settlement. Graduating exercises of the Fullerton Union high school were held in Bank hall Friday night and 10 students were graduated. The stage was handsomely decorated and the audience was the largest ever gathered in the hall. The class colors, white and blue, were used in the decorations, and flowers were in abundance. The graduates are Arthur Schultz, Howard Clever, Charles W. Sears, Alice Lenton, Katharine Hunter, and Lela Garwood, all of Fullerton; Calvin Thornton, of Norwalk; Frank Stanford and Barrett Case, of Garden Grove. On the stage with the graduates were President R. C. Archibald, Reverend Moore, and Principal W. R. Carpenter. Santa Ana is to have a large tourist hotel. Incorporation papers of the Santa Ana Realty Company have been filed by several of Santa Ana's wealthy citizens. The company is capitalized for $50,000, which amount will probably be increased to $100,000 within the next few months. The board of directors are W. B. Hervey, A. J. Visey, S. H. Finley, J. W. Lowery, and H. Fairbanks. G. G. Godfrey of Tustin and Mr. Loop, a Texas capitalist, are among the stockholders. The company has closed a deal for a tract of land 190x125 feet, the consideration being $10,000. It is said that the general who bids the highest gets the victory in most many of the world's lilies are traceable battles over in China. Here is a good chance for some enterprising Yankee much of the world's lumber is traceable auctioneer to win military fame.
