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, OCTOBER 20, 1877 Bishop Kip, who is at present sojourning in Boston, has written a letter to Mr. G. H. Kellogg in answer to a letter of that gentleman in regard to the vacancy in the Episcopal church of this place caused by the resignation of Mr. G. M. Hubbard. The bishop says that he has appointed to the vacancy an English clergyman, formerly of Toronto, but now of Boston, and that he will arrive in Anaheim about the latter part of November, so that there will be no intermission in the services of the Episcopal church. The clergyman (whose name the bishop forgot to mention) visited Los Angeles a couple of years ago, as the guest of Rev. Mr. Hill, and at that time conceived a great liking for Southern California. (The clergyman referred to, whose name the bishop forgot to mention, was Rev. A. G. L. Trew, who is well remembered by the Pioneers. He came to Anaheim with his family and was in charge of St. Michael's Episcopal church for a number of years.—Ed.) The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Scott & Montgomery's office, pursuant to a call of the president, Theodore Lynill, who presided. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved, after which the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing term of eight weeks: President, J. M. Guinn; vice-president, W. M. McFadden; secretary, Victor Montgomery; treasurer, Fred Rimpau; sergeant-at-arms, Ed. F. Cahill. The treasurer presented his report showing a balance on hand of $29.50.

The treasurer presented his report, showing a balance on hand of $29.60. The bill of H. Kroeger, amounting to $10 for use of hall, was allowed and ordered paid. The dues of members for the months of August, September, and October were remitted. The following question was chosen for discussion at the next meeting: "Resolved, that government should indemnify individuals for damage done by mobs." Affirmative, Messrs. Cahill, Athearn, and Grimshaw. Negative, Messrs. McFadden, Leonard, and Beebe. Declaimers, Messrs. Rimpau and Mendelson. The secretary was instructed to confer with Mr. Kroeger in reference to hall rent, etc. The society then adjourned to meet in Kroeger's hall on the evening of the twenty-second instant, at 7:30 o'clock. About 9 o'clock, on Saturday night, a rattling shower of rain fell in this vicinity. At Mr. Saxton's the rain gauge recorded a fall of one-eighth of an inch. At Kraemer's ranch the sides of the foothills were washed in many places, and on Sunday morning the water was lying at their base in great puddles. Mr. William Couts of Guajome, San Diego county, will be married in a few days to Miss Estudillo of San Diego. The newly married couple expect to settled down in Billy's new residence on the Las Poses Rancho, New Guajome. We wish them success and happiness. The disastrou fire at Mr. Bland's seventeen-mile house, described by our Norwalk correspondent, was an unfortunate affair. The only thing saved was a sewing machine that happened to have been left on the front porch.—Item from Norwalk. Mr. S. G. Bland, of the seventeen-mile house, had his house burned down on Tuesday, at 2 a.m. Nearly everything in the house was destroyed, including clothing, bedding, etc. The heat was so great as to melt some silver coin in the house. Mrs. Bland escaped through the window with her children, with nothing but their night clothes. Unfortunately, Mr. Bland was away from the house at the time, having gone to the mountains with his cattle, and no one was about but the hired man. The following named pupils of the Orangethorpe school, of which Mr. S. Bush is the teacher, have their names placed upon the roll of honor for their credits in deportment for the school month ending October 12, 1877: Nettie Metcalf, Annie Williams, Emma Stone, Hanna Smith, Minnie Mead, Clara Schulte, Mary Chilson, Laura Calloway.

A fifty-mile mustang race will take place at Agricultural park in November. The rival horses are owned by Dr. Wise of Los Angeles and Sheriff Covarrubias of Santa Barbara. Mr. Theodore Reiser and wife arrived from San Francisco on Thursday evening. Several of our sister towns are clamoring for a boot and shoe shop. Their wants in that line can be supplied by a visit to Anaheim where George Bauer and L. G. Gunther have shops for the making and repairing of boots and shoes of every description. The board of town trustees held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Theodore Lynill was elected clerk of the board. An order was made that town warrants be accepted in payment of taxes. A very important meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company and all interested in their ditches will be held in Kroeger's hall on next Saturday afternoon. F. W. Athearn and Alex Bailey were elected justices of the peace for this township, which comprises, Anaheim, Westminster and Garden Grove. Messrs. P. Davis & Brother advertise two gang plows and a mower for sale at about half cost price. This is a rare chance for a farmer to purchase an implement cheap. At Bergeman's ranch, near Temecula, is a curiosity in the shape of a natural artesian well throwing 20 miner's inches of water more than a foot above ground. The hole it issues from is perfectly round and the surrounding ground is firm and solid. Besides this he owns another spring which yields 30 inches of water. He is well fixxed for irrigation. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1902 Lilburn Gardiner and Miss Anna Vail were married at the home of the bride's parents, in Fullerton, on Wednesday last. After the ceremony a delightful wedding breakfast was served. The happy couple departed on a short honeymoon trip, and upon their return will be at home in their new cottage on Orangethorpe avenue. Those present were Alex Gardiner and wife, parents of the groom; James A. Vail and wife, parents of the bride; Myrtle and Stella Lovering, Rev. Holcomb and wife, Mrs. A. Holcomb, A. Barrows and wife, John R. Gardiner and wife, R. S. Gregory and wife, J. Holverson and wife, L. P. Drake and family, E. S. Richman and wife, A. McDermont and wife, G. F. McDermont and wife, Miss Gregg, Otto des Granges and family, F. E. Gardiner and family, Clay Crow and family, D. F. D. Holman, F. M. Shrode and family, Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Gardiner. Edward B. Russell of Los Angeles and Miss Anna Bauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer of this city were married on Wednesday, October 15, at 3 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's brother, Charles E. Bauer. Rev. E. W. Pratt officiated at the ceremony. Owing to the illness of the bride's mother, only relatives and a few intimate friends were present. After the ceremony, refreshments were served and later th happy couple departed on the evening train for Los Angeles, where they will make their future home. The bride is a native daughter of Anaheim, and the congratulations of her girlhood friends accompany her to her new home. The groom is a successful druggist of Los Angeles. Auto Fatalities Not Increasing Los Angeles City and County Make Good Records Figures for the first nine months of the present year indicate that deaths from automobiles in Los Angeles city and county are not increasing in as heavy a ratio as in other sections of the country. In September deaths outside of the city show a decrease, while only a slight increase is noted within the city limits. For the first nine months of this year there have been 384 deaths attributable to motor vehicles in the city and county. This is nearly one-half of the total accidental deaths during this period. For the first nine months of last year there was a total of 373 deaths from autos, which shows an increase of 11 for this year, or less than 3 per cent. Final reports for September may alter these figures slightly, but it is indicated that the situation is steadily improving. A reduction of deaths among children of school age is considered the most gratifying feature of the report. In September, 1926, four children lost their lives from autos, while this year the record is cut in half. The reduction in children's deaths can be better understood by comparing the first nine months of the present year with a similar period last year. There were 33 children of school age killed by autos so far this year, as against 44 for the same period last year, or a reduction of 33 per cent. The public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California announcing these figures states that during the summer of this year the playgrounds of the city were thrown open and supervised by children safety committees of the public schools. This supervision, with city playground officials and those of the automobile club, resulted in a much safer summer for the youngsters. The greatest number of fatalities is accounted for by collisions between Edward B. Russell of Los Angeles and Miss Anna Bauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer of this city were married on Wednesday, October 15, at 3 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's brother, Charles E. Bauer. Rev. E. W. Pratt officiated at the ceremony. Owing to the illness of the bride's mother, only relatives and a few intimate friends were present. After the ceremony, refreshments were served and later th happy couple departed on the evening train for Los Angeles, where they will make their future home. The bride is a native daughter of Anaheim, and the congratulations of her girlhood friends accompany her to her new home. The groom is a successful druggist of Los Angeles. Sprock Fosseck leaves on Saturday morning for San Juan Hot Springs to spend the winter. Sprock came up for the turn-fest, and will now return to the classice shades of the San Juan hills for another season of rest and recreation. Billy Hale of Placentia, Republican candidate for supervisor; E. R. Amerige for the assembly, G. W. Sherwood for surveyor, and W. G. Potter for treasurer shook hands with friends in town during the week. Don Marcos Forster was in town yesterday on a brief business mission. He returned to Los Angeles on the noon train. He says the races are the best run over the Los Angeles track in years. Miss Bertha Oefinger and Matthew J. Walsh were married Tuesday morning, October 14, at St. Boniface church, by Rev. Mr. Dubble. The bride wore a pretty gown of white chiffon over white silk danty lace and white satin ribbons. Miss Sophie Backs acted as bridesmaid and wore a dress of white organdie and lace over silk. P. Cummins was best man. After the ceremony breakfast was served the bridal party at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. S. Oefinger. Uncle Dave Rogers of the Peat is taking in the Los Angeles races this week. He was asked to become a candidate for supervisor in the second district during the deadlock, but refused. Uncle Dave is not keen on holding a public office, but when it comes to races, that's different. Joe Backs came down from Los Angeles to spend Sunday with his parents. Joe is one of the most expert clerks in the Los Angeles postoffice. Mrs. A. M. Jones has been a guest during the week of her mother, Mrs. Langenberger, who has been ill, but is improving. Johnny Matter is carrying his hand in a sling as a result of blood poisoning. He injured his hand while unloading a wagon some days ago. Under the care of physicians, he is recovering and will soon be able to resume work. Eddie Boege has been up in Trabuco canyon this week with a party of sportsmen after game. Eddie leaves shortly for Arizona to go into business. Miss Bosbyshell of Los Angeles is teaching in place of Miss Rector at the public school, the latter having been called to her home in Merced by the illness of her father. Professor Little telephoned Miss Bosbyshell on Monday. She came down immediately and has since been teaching large classes to the satisfac- The greatest number of fatalities is accounted for by collisions between automobiles and pedestrians. There were 186 lives sacrificed in this manner. Collisions between autos accounted for 41, and motor vehicles overturning snuffed out 37 lives. Collisions between electric railways and automobiles cost seven lives, and cars crashing into stationary objects resulted in 17 deaths. Collisions between steam railways and automobiles ended 14 lives. It is noticeable that truck drivers avoided each other in serious mishaps and there were no deaths attributable to collisions between trucks. The most prolific cause of loss of life among children was running or playing in the street, which resulted in 27 deaths. Intoxication is credited with 20 lives so far this year. Speeding in various limited zones is credited with 51 fatalities. ‘Old Baldy’ Is Popular Resort The trip to "Old Baldy," a round-topped mountain rearing far above the timberline, is an ever popular one-day outing, according to information received from the touring department of the National Automobile Club. The summit of Mt. San Antonio, which has long been informally known as "Mt. Baldy," is reached by hiking and saddle trails. Its barren top is marked by a sign which reads, "Mt. San Antonio, Old Baldy, elevation 10,900 feet." A register is found here in a metal box located on a stand, bearing the names of those who have conquered the climb. From this point, on clear days, inspiring views may be had of valleys, desert and the entire San Gabriel range. A wide, smooth mountain road, without any difficult grades, leads well up on the slope of Mt. San Antonio. While second gear work is necessary in places, the trip on the whole is a very easy and pleasant one. Two hiking trails lead from Camp Baldy to the summit. One leads to the left and is seven and one-half miles in length following in part a very sharp zig-zag course, while the other is two miles longer, but less difficult to negotiate. It leads across the Devil’s Backbone, over a mountain ridge from which the hiker may look down for hundreds of feet to canyon or desert. This portion of the trail is very spectacular and offers thrills to even the most courageous. Further on the trail leads to a broad flat mesa which is a veritable forest of towering pines, thickly Eddie Boege has been up in Trabuco canyon this week with a party of sportsmen after game. Eddie leaves shortly for Arizona to go into business. Miss Bosbyshell of Los Angeles is teaching in place of Miss Rector at the public school, the latter having been called to her home in Merced by the illness of her father. Professor Little telephoned Miss Bosbyshell on Monday. She came down immediately and has since been teaching large classes to the satisfaction of all. Dr. J. S. Gardiner was a visitor in town some days ago from Los Angeles. The doctor is looking well, city life evidently agreeing with him. Mrs. Louisa Willis arrived this week from Idaho to visit her sister, Mrs. F. S. Dyer. Thirty years have elapsed since they met. Walnuts shipped from this place and Fullerton for the past week have amounted to ten carloads of 1440 sacks, being worth about $20,000. Six carloads were packed by the Fullerton Walnut Growers' Association. Nuts are coming in fast and are holding up to weight. Very little is running to No. 2 grade, and so far nothing but soft shells have come in. The first carload of celery for the season was shipped some days ago from Smeltzer by the Golden West Celery and Produce Company to Chicago. The car contained 148 crates or 985 dozen bunches of white plume celery. Mrs. A. S. Bradford of Placentia is attending the grand lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star as a delegate from the chapter in this city.

Orange County Law Class Is Launched With the election of Andrew Wilson, justice of the peace at Nowport Beach, as president, Herman Zabel, chief of the bureau of identification in the sheriff's office as secretary, and Miss Robbie Anderson of Anaheim as treasurer, the Orange county law class recently organized in Santa Ana, got away to a good start for the winter's study course. The class meets every Monday evening in room 207 of the Junior college. At the organization meeting this week, about 20 students were present, and more are expected next Monday evening. At the Monday meeting, the first of a series of lectures on law will be delivered by Frederick M. Hall, a well-known attorney of Pasadena. Students seeking information concerning the class may secure it from Mr. Zabel. The biological survey, U. S. D. A., operates an experimental fur farm at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.; a reindeer experiment station at Fairbanks, Alaska, and has recently completed an arrangement to establish a rabbit experiment station at Fontana, Calif.
