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 30, 1877 Officer Wartenberg was called hastily to R. W. Scott's residence, on Wednesday afternoon, to arrest a thief who made his entrance through a window. Mrs. Scott, seeing the fellow climb in, hastily secreted herself. The villain, hearing a noise, ran out, snatching a hat from the hat-rack as he ran. Mrs. Scott sent one of the Chinamen at work on the farm to town for Mr. Scott, who rode out as hastily as possible, but was unable to find any trace of the burglar. On Saturday night, at about half-past eleven, a burglar attempted to enter the house of Mr. Charles Wille, on Second North street. Mr. Wille seized his shotgun and started in pursuit of the man, who ran out beyond the Catholic church, jumped over the fence and disappeared. Someone also attempted to enter the home of Mr. L. Davsen, on Lemon street, about midnight the same evening. It is plain that there have been, and are now, bad characters about town who need considerable looking after. Later—The young specimen of total deprivation who burglarized Mr. Scott's home on Wednesday and absconded with the tile that was wont to adorn the high and massive forehead of our legal friend, was found by Officer Wartenberg. He seemed to be about 17 or 18 years of age, and gave the name of Henry Pottkar. He was brought before Justice Bailey and confronted with the hat, which the marshal had found buried in Mrs. Bremmermann's vineyard. The young scamp pleaded guilty and was bound over to appear before the grand jury.

There will also be dancing in the grove during the day, and in the evening a ball will be given at the Grangers' hall. A dispatch from Boston says that the banquet to President Hayes last night was a fitting conclusion of the brilliant reception. It was given in Brunswick hall, and 200 were present, including the chief notables of the city, Longfellow, Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Lowell, and others. The President visited the tabernacle later, and 8000 people were in attendance at the concert given in his honor. He retired at 8:15. He then returned to the banquet and the literary portion began. In response to a toast by the mayor, he said: "I would wish, if possible, to convey to you the deep satisfaction I have felt on my visit to Boston. No individual ever deserved or ever will deserve such courtesy or kindness as I have received. Boston, in this speaks her love for the Union." (Applause.) "Her regard for equal human rights and her aspiration for restored harmony and peace. God grant that Boston, Massachusetts, our whole people may enjoy blessings the love of which brings you together tonight." (Applause.) YS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Daily Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1902 James W. Landell breathed his last at his home in Buena Park on Friday afternoon. He had been ill during several weeks. In his death the county loses one of its oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. He had lived in this section since 1874, and numbered his friends in every section of Southern California. Deceased was born in Philadelphia, in 1838, and was educated in that city. He built the machinery for Cramp's first shipbuilding plant and also the first plant for Henry Disston's saw factory. He married Sallie Moore, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Hughes, in 1865. They had six children, five of whom survive; viz., Frank Landell of Newhall, John Landell of Capistrano, Margaret Hargreaves of Fallbrook, Charles and Gilbert Landell of Buena Park. The funeral occurred on Sunday morning, and was conducted by Rev. Corbin of Buena Park. The remains found a last resting place in the cemetery here. Deceased for many years filled the responsible position of justice of the peace for this township. He was esteemed by all who knew him, and his death is sincerely regretted by all. Word has been received of some large prices attained in the New York market for Valencia oranges shipped by C. C. Chapman. The fruit was the well-known Old Mission brand. Forty-six boxes sold for from $4.62 to $7.75 per box, an average of $6.97 for the lot. A lot of 140 Old Mission sweets sold for from $3 to $5.37 per box, an average of $4.62 per box. The fruit came from the Santa Ysabel ranch in Placentia. Mrs. Toombes' cottage on Placentia avenue, a short distance Great Demand for California Grapes Sixty Thousand Carloads Shipped East Last Year California wines, once famous the world over, are still being sold in virtually every section of the United States, but they're sold in bulk—unpressed and unfermented, according to a report of "unloads" on the state's crop of wine grapes, made public by the state department of agriculture. Furthermore, though the wine is made in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and way points, the California producer is prospering under prohibition, the report indicated. For the past year, it was revealed, 414,000 tons of California wine grapes netted the grower approximately $18,630,000, or a price of about $45 per ton. In pre-prohibition days the price received by the grower varied from 48 to $15 per ton, depending on conditions and the variety. New York, the biggest buyer of California wine grapes, which state and federal experts say are useless for any other purpose than making wine, bought 17,445 carloads last year, according to the analysis of "unloads." The blaze New Yorkers figured on a juice basis and paid 50 cents a gallon for their wine supply, according to S. S. Rogers, assistant chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization, and if they resold the wine at going prices on the bootleg market, they received an average of $5 per gallon. Chicago, second best buyer of California's "solid wines," absorbed 4524 carloads last year at $45 per ton, while Boston, next in line, bought 4223 cars. Other big buyers were Philadelphia with 3445 cars, and Pittsburg with 1952 cars. The crop marketed last year was considerably larger than that sold the year previous and bigger than the yield in the period just prior to enactment of the national prohibition law. While 60,000 carloads of wine grapes were shipped east, only 4000 cars were consumed in California, the report says.

The place was not occupied. Word was brought into town on Saturday afternoon by George Hager that some miscreant had fired a shot into the county's water tank, a mile and a half south of town. Roadmaster Norman was notified of the matter, and proceeded thither and repaired it. The county will pay a substantial reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of the perpetrator. M. S. Davis, candidate for the Republican nomination for county school superintendent, met an old friend yesterday in the person of Mr. Spake, whom he ran across at his residence on Broadway.

The West Enders started in with a rush, tallving three runs in the first. In the sixth inning the score stood 7 to 7. The town boys regained their batting eye and fell upon Loara's pitcher with a vengeance, so much so that when the game ended the score stood as narrated at the beginning of this paragraph. The game was the fifteenth straight victory for the boys in blue. They play with Olive on the home grounds on Sunday afternoon. Henry Yount was in town a day or two ago, talking politics.
