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, SEPTEMBER, 22, 1877 Report of Grand Jury—To the Hon. H. K. S. O'Melveny, Judge of the County Court of Los Angeles County: We, the grand jury for the September term, beg leave to submit the following report: We have found twenty-three true bills, as follows: For robbery and grand larceny, 10; murder, 3; battery, 4; resisting an officer, 2; assault with a deadly weapon, 2; perjury, 2. We have ignored four bills and dismissed three. We have referred five cases to the next grand jury. We have visited and inspected the jail and hospital. The former is in as good condition as could be expected. We suppose it would be a violation of a time-honored custom if we failed to give expression to the usual recommendation in regard to the desirability of a new jail building. The hospital we found to be kept neat and clean. The patients seem to be well cared for, and they had no complaint to make; in fact, they spoke very highly of the car bestowed upon them by the physician. If we have continued in session a long time than seemed necessary, we assure you that it was with a desire to thoroughly probe and investigate the many cases which came before us, and not with a desire to uselessly prolong our sittings. We desire to bear witness to the courtesy with which we have been treated by the district attorney, and by the sheriff and his deputies. They have been uniformly prompt and attentive in response to calls from us. (Signed) E. C. PARRISH, Foreman.

We have been shown some specimens of gold-bearing quartz taken from a new lode recently discovered in the Carga Muchacho district, on the Colorado desert. This district is situated in San Diego county, within three miles of the Southern Pacific railroad and about fifteen miles from the Colorado river. About two months ago three claims, the Madre, Padre, and Carga Muchacho, purchased by Mr. Van Arsdale for $5000, were sold in San Francisco for $35,000. The specimens exhibited show free gold and were taken from a ledge two feet wide which has been traced for over a mile. The surface rock assays $70 a ton. A telegram from Cabazon says that an Indian reports that on Sunday night he found two men dead near Singleton's ranch, about five miles west of Dr. Edgar's. Soon after the bodies were discovered some white men came along and accused the Indian of having murdered the men. The Indian admitted the men had been murdered, but failed to state how. He also stated that he thought the dead men were vaqueros from the Ukipi ranch. There is compensation for Mr. Jotham Bixby, who failed to secure the county treasurership in the recent election, in the fact that his wife presented him with a fine daughter yesterday. The next best thing to having office is to have a daughter. It is stated that Mr. McFadden of Newport Landing, who has been on a visit to San Bernardino, offers to enter into a contract to deliver freight at that place for two years at $2 per ton. Mr. Bohen is in pursuit of a gang of hoodlums who so far disregarded his official dignity as to tie tin cans to the tail of the dog which accompanies our valiant officer in his midnight rambles. We have several times called attention to the dangerous state of the ditch crossings. On Sunday a lady narrowly escaped injury by the caving of the bridge on the corner of Second North and Los Angeles streets. The artesian well on the Chilson place in Orangethorpe has reached the depth of 470 feet. The prospect of obtaining water is considered good. This year has been prolific in strange freaks of vegetation. The latest we have noticed is that oranges are already beginning to turn a golden yellow, and look as if they will thoroughly ripen in a few weeks. Ordinarily this fruit is not ripe until March. Mr. George Miller has again assumed control of the Star restaurant. Mr. A. G. Beebe has just received a novelty in pipes. Both stem and bowl are manufactured with great skill from corncobs. C. M. Woodruff is removing his fruit and stationery store to the department division of the Walt Disney Company. This year has been prolific in strange freaks of vegetation.

Woodruff is removing his fruit and stationery store to the apartment adjoining the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company. A large number of people attended the camp meeting on Sunday night. Every livery team in town was engaged. The tax collector announces that $9 was the result of his first day's work. The office is situated in The Gazette building. A flock of geese were seen flying southward the other day. Sure sign of an early winter, you know. Negotiations are in progress for the leasing of the dining-room of the Anaheim hotel by Mr. Buster. Officer Bohen disarmed a belligerent native the other night, and turned the knife and gun over to the keeping of the justice. Mr. Herman Blanken takes his departure for San Francisco on Sunday. A very good position has been tendered him in that city. It is said there is quite a demand for potatoes in Los Angeles—Anaheim Gazette. Should think there was. Two and a half cents a pound for good ones which frequently turn out to be bad ones.—Los Angeles Express. Ed Schubert arrived from San Francisco last evening. Quite a number of our people attended the concert at Orange last night. A stray cow was captured by the marshal on Sunday and lodged in the pound. The owner can have the animal by proving property and paying charges. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1902 Impressive ceremonies at laying of cornerstone of new Catholic church—Bishop Montgomery preached with eloquence and force at the laying of the cornerstone of St. Boniface Catholic church on Sunday morning. He took for his text, "Unless the Lord Buildeth the House, He Laboreth in Vain Who Buideth It." A congregation of several hundred gathered to hear the words of the distinguished ecclesiastic, and his discourse was followed with rapt attention throughout. Solemn high mass was celebrated by Father Dubble, assisted by Father Kaiser. Father McDonald was deacon of the mass, Father O'Connor subdeacon, and Father Scanlan master of ceremonies. In the sanctuary beside the bishop sat Reverends S. Hahn and N. Hennessy. Brick and lumber have been hauled to the site of Mrs. Mitchell's new building, on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Excavations have been completed, and yesterday brick laying began. The building will be a one-story brick with iron and glass front. Frank Fox was passing around the cigars yesterday on account of the arrival of a new son and heir at his household, who made his appearance on Monday. This makes four, two boys and two girls. Frank says they are pretty nice things to have around the house, and he will never be satisfied until he has a full house or a house full of them. Ramon Aguilar dropped into town and out again on Thursday last, so suddenly that his friends hadn't time to hear that Look at His Horns Before You Shoot Deer Hunters Are Cautioned to Use Utmost Care "If you can't see its horns, SHE hasn't any. Make sure it's a buck." Many hunters in red shirts or caps are now scouring their favorite fields, following the opening of deer season, September 16, in Southern California, and keeping in mind this primary law of deer shooting. Districts 4, 4½, and 4⅓ were opened Friday, including 11 southern southern counties of the state. A good deer season is predicted by C. B. Salisbury, who recently returned from a scouting trip covering many of the likely deer shooting localities of this part of the state. He reported that the most deer are evidently in Kern, Inyo and Mono counties; that the Lower Kern river watershed again looks promising, and that prospects are good out of Fairview. Other good districts include that out of Little Lake, in the South Fork and Fish Creek regions, the country reached by pack trips back from Cowan Station. Olancha and Lone Pine; that out of Independence and at the headwaters of Big Pine creek, over the divide from Mammoth, at the headwaters of the San Joaquin, in the White mountains cast of Laws, around the springs on the Old Baldy side of Soledad canyon, in the Cuyamaca mountains to hunters knowing the district, and in the Santa Monica mountains from Calabasas to Cornell. Hunters should be careful of invading any game refuge, of starting fires, and of killing deer without having possession of a hunting license and the newly-required deer tags, warns the auto club outing bureau, which has available further details regarding deer shooting in this section.

Ramon Aguilar dropped into town and out again on Thursday last, so suddenly that his friends hadn't time to hear that he was in town until he was gone again. Ramon is station agent for the octopus at Fernando, and has three men under him. He is rising steadily in the service, and some of these days we expect to hear of him riding in a private car with Harriman. Fritz Ruhman went to Los Angeles on Tuesday to see Buffalo Bill's show. Fritz used to be a sailor on the Flying Dutchman, and takes great interest in athletics, and broncos, and Injuns, and such things. But he says the ground at Agricultural park, where the show was held, was so dusty that the couldn't see much of it. Herman Stock some weeks ago complained of an injured knee, which had been hurt while moving freight on his truck. After suffering considerable pain, he consulted Dr. Johnston, who found that he was suffering from a case of blood poisoning. Ternan has just been able to make his appearance on crutches, having had a two weeks' season of it in bed. He is on a fair way to recovery. Andy Fuhrburg has enlarged and otherwise improved his ping-pong emporium. Andy is getting ready for the winter's rush of business. There was no quorum at the meeting of the city trustees on Tuesday evening, only Trustees Scineider and Berdrow being present. An adjournment was taken to the next meeting night in October. Trustee Weisel telephoned from the cannery that he was busy on tomatoes and couldn't possibly come, and Trustee Rust sent word that he was in the midst of his wine-making and could not be present. Retail liquor dealers telephones the board that they be permitted to keep their places of business open after midnight the three nights of the turnfest next month. In the absence of a quorum no action was taken. Druggist Hatzfeld advertises this morning a fresh line of drugs and other articles usually found in a first-class pharmacy. Last evening the Republicans held their initial rally of the campaign at the opera house and, from all indications as we go to press, the meeting will be an old-fashioned rouser. Capt. M. J. Daniels of Riverside, Republican candidate for congress; W. M. Peck, the eloquent political orator; C. C. Chapman, chairman of the congressional committee, and other distinguished gentlemen have been with us during the day.

Speedway Association, without Dodge Brothers instigation or knowledge, bought a Dodge Brothers Four and entered it in a Labor Day race for Four cylinder stock cars. Four cars of other makes also competed. All were strictly stock cars as required by the rules of the association. The race was for 25 miles—to determine which was "The Fastest Four in America." The Dodge won. Its average speed for the entire race, from a standing start, was 67.35 miles per hour (officially timed by A. A. A.). Generous confirmation, to say the least, of the modest claim of "Mile-a-minute Performance! Even more remarkable than the speed, however, is the fact that the car had been driven only 10 days and yet was able to withstand this difficult test without once stopping. Thus the race not only offers conclusive proof of the Dodge's superiority in speed, but stands also as a glowing tribute to the rugged materials and excellent workmanship that go to make it— AMERICA'S FASTEST AND FINEST FOUR!
