IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Co 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1877 The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, at Kroeger's hall, pursuant to adjoinment, Vice-President Henderson in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved. The declaimers being absent and the chair unable to procure a committee from the audience to decide upon the merits of the debate, a resolution was passed empowering the presiding officer to decide said question. The following question was then discussed: "Resolved, That the present town government is of great benefit to the inhabitants of Anaheim." Messrs. Montgomery and Mendelson spoke in favor of the affirmative and were answered by Messrs. E. F. Cahill, A. G. Beebe and C. E. Leonard of the negative. The chair gave its decision in favor of the negative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That wealth exerts more influence than knowledge." Affirmative, Montgomery, McFadden and Mendelson. Negative, Henderson, Fischer, Austin. The chair imposed a fine of 25 cents upon each of the following members for non-performance of duties assigned to them by the program committee: H. S. Austin, J. M. Guinn, Theo. Lynnill, D. R. Payne and T. S. Grimshaw. The society then adjourned to meet at Kroeger's hall on the evening of the thirtieth instant.

The chair imposed a fine of 25 cents upon each of the following members for non-performance of duties assigned to them by the program committee: H. S. Austin, J. M. Guinn, Theo. Lynill, D. R. Payne and T. S. Grimshaw. The society then adjourned to meet at Kroeger's hall on the evening of the thirtieth instant. The town was aroused from its lethargy Wednesday afternoon by the news that a man had been killed at Cahill's vineyard, on West street. When officers, reporters and citizens arrived at the scene, the man was found lying in the road in front of the residence of Mr. Cahill. His body was perfectly riddled with buckshot. A coroner's jury was summoned, and found that the deceased was named Thomas Synnot Hagerty. He was a native of Ireland, aged between 40 and 50 years. He resided with his sister on a piece of land purchased from Edward and Francis M. Cahill. Difficulties had frequently occurred between Francis M. Cahill and deceased. Yesterday Francis Cahill found a piece of his pump missing and had deceased arrested on suspicion. In the afternoon Miss Hagerty came to the pump to get some water, and Cahill ordered her away, at the same time pushing her away from the pump. The deceased came running up with a shotgun. Cahill retreated to the house, procured his shotgun and came out; both men fired at the same time. Cahill's shot struck Hagerty in the breast and neck, killing him instantly. Cahill then walked into town and gave himself up to the officers. From the evidence gathered at the inquest it was the opinion of the jury that the act of Cahill was justifiable and in self-defense.

For district attorney, R. Y. Williams and Langley. There are others whom we do not recall this hot Select a winning ticket and then let us elect it from top to bottom. News of the death of William M. McFadden, which occurred at his home in Placentia on Monday will come as a deep personal loss to everyone in the valley. For upwards of thirty years he has resided in this section. His first employment here was as school teacher at Yorba, in the early '70s. He was subsequently elected as school superintendent of Los Angeles county. He purchased a tract of land in Placentia, he being a pioneer of that nation. He took a prominent part in affairs of public interest, and only a few weeks ago being unable to continue his duties further, resigned as chairman of the Democratic county central committee. The funeral occurred yesterday from his home on Placentia avenue, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, of Records Kept by Poultry Breeders Twenty-two poultry farms in Orange county entered into a poultry management efficiency study instigated by the agricultural extension service. The study began on February 1 of this year. Monthly record cards comprising the items of expense and income and other management features occurring during the month on each ranch are sent in to the extension office to be summarized. There are over 17,000 birds in the study. The farms in the study were divided into two groups, those having less than 800 birds and those having over 800 birds. There were an average of 41.7 birds to the farm in the first group and 1084 in the second group. The first group averaged 15.5 eggs per hen in May, with 50 per cent production and 1.85 per cent mortality. The second group averaged 16.2 eggs per hen for the same month, with 52.3 per cent production and 1.51 per cent mortality. As will be seen, the average egg production was higher in the commercial flocks than in the smaller flocks and the mortality lower. This is the reverse to what one might expect. The highest individual flock production was 67.4 per cent, and the highest flock mortality of 2.88 per cent were both obtained in the first group. The lowest flock production in the first group was 37.1 per cent and the lowest in the second group was 43 per cent. The highest flock production in the second group was 15.5 per cent. The highest mortality in the second group was 2.8 per cent and the lowest .46 per cent. On the average, as shown by this month's summary, the larger flocks are handled better and the unprofitable ones removed quicker. When production gets down, the flock should be thoroughly gone over and hens showing that they have stopped laying removed. By so doing, the feed bill is decreased and the average egg production increased.

The funeral occurred yesterday from his home on Placentia avenue, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which he was so long as conspicuous member. Many eyes were wet as the remains of this old patriarch were laid away in the silent tomb. May he rest in peace. Lee Hale, the 8-year-old son of W. L. Hale of Placentia, has been ill for some days past as the result of stepping on a nail while at play.
