IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a CoAgo. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histof the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1877 Rev. Mr. Trew, the new minister of St. Michael's Episcopal church, arrived from the east on the tenth instant. He will officiate tomorrow for the first time and will preach an introductory sermon. We tender him a hearty welcome in our midst. The board of supervisors awarded the contract for constructing the Santa Ana canyon road to J. F. Devin. The bids for the work were a curiosity in figures. They ranged from $7185 to 6139, $5300 and $2650. On the evening of Thanksgiving Day a ball will be given at Fairview Grange hall. The committee of arrangements is composed of L. A. Evans, G. L. Dean, and Byron O. Clark; reception committee, H. C. Kellogg, C. M. Woodruff, T. W. Cook; floor managers, J. H. Givin and G. A. Greely. Mr. A. G. Beebe will receive in a few days a very large lot of the choicest confectionery, also bananas and cocoanuts. His stock of cigars and tobacco cannot be excelled. A large lot of groceries for San Juan Capistrano were shipped yesterday from the wholesale department of P. Davis & Brother. Messrs. Cahen & Willard have just opened a new assortment of ladies' goods, and the tasty arrangement attracts great attention.

Cahen & Willard have just opened a new assortment of ladies' goods, and the tasty arrangement attracts great attention. The relatives and friends of Mr. Thad Travis are now in considerable perturbation of mind in regard to his fate, as a rumor reached here on Monday that he had been killed. It is said that Travis sold his sheep in New Mexico for $1400, and that he gave a part of this money to a companion to carry. They started to return home, but this companion managed to ship off with the money which he carried. Thad started in pursuit, and upon coming up with the robber a fight ensued, in which the pursuer was killed. Such is the substance of the rumor, but what degree of credence it is entitled to we are unable to state. It is said that the family has positive knowledge that Thad was in Prescott on the tenth of the present month and, as the murder is said to have been committed a few days later at a point some two hundred miles distant, they are not inclined to put much faith in the story. Louis Wartenberg, tax collector, hereby gives notice that the taxes due the town of Anaheim must be paid on or before the thirtieth instant. He will be at his office in The Gazette building on November 28, 29, and 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for the purpose of receiving said tax. The nuptials of W. J. Smith, of Orangethorpe, and Mrs. M. O. Flemming, of Downey, will take place at 11 o'clock this morning at the latter town. The happy couple will then proceed to San Francisco for a short bridal tour. We tender our congratulations. The stockholders of the Anaheim Lighter Company held a meeting on Monday. Proposals to lease the wharves and lighters of the company were made by some parties at Westminster, and their proposition was favorably entertained. The necessary inventory of stock and other preliminaries are now being made, and at a meeting on Friday the bargain will probably be consummated. A report was brought in on Thursday that an Indian was lying on Olive street, dangerously wounded. Marshal Wartenberg investigated the matter, and found the old paralyzed Indian who has begged his subsistence in town for a number of years. He was not wounded, but appeared to be suffering from paralytic stroke. Mr. Rimpau had him brought from Olive street, where he had been lying for a number of days, and had him properly cared for until his death, which occurred on Sunday. It is said that a Los Angeles school ma'am has made $2000 recently by dabbling in stocks. Ophir is her favorite. Next Thursday, the 29th, will be Thanksgiving. As it is a legal holiday, the Bank of Anaheim will be closed. This office will be open for the receipt of subscriptions, as usual. Col. J. F. Godfrey, city attorney of Los Angeles, at present in Sacramento, will soon return, bringing with him a wife.

Upon the expiration of the lease now held by P. Davis & Brother of the Anaheim Water Company's lots on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, that firm intends to tear down the building now occupied by them as a store, and will use the lumber for the erection of stables, etc., in the rear of their new brick building. Their two-story warehouse will be removed to a location opposite A. Guy Smith & Company's lumber yard, and will be used as a storehouse. In the trial of F. M. Cahill for murder, before the district court at Los Angeles on Monday, the jury failed to agree. The prisoner was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000. Mr. E. F. Cahill and John Adams are the bondsmen. The jury stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal. Witnesses summoned from Anaheim to testify at the trial included S. A. Sheffield, Dr. James Ellis, J. Westphal, C. Wilkins, C. Willie, R. M. Barham, F. W. Athearn, R. Burkle, B. Montgomery, J. Jordan, L. Wartenberg, A. Bailey, D. K. Williams, Miss Mary Haggerty, E. A. Pullen, and John Adams. Mr. Isaac Cohen will go to Los Angeles today to assume charge of the business of his cousin, Sam Meyer, for a couple of weeks while that gentleman is absent in San Francisco. A telegram was received at the depot last night, stating that there were 15 passengers for Santa Ana on the train. Messrs. Hammel & Denker are about to erect a fence around the cellar on their tract. It should have been done long ago. Parties shipping freight by the way of Anaheim Landing will do well to notice the advertisement of Mr. George Hull in today's Gazette. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1902 Alex Henry brought out his cannon on Saturday evening, at Caledonia grove, and fired a salute in honor of Pardee's election as governor. Alex was ready to awaken the echoes the night of the election but, owing to the closeness of the vote, determined to await receipt of later returns. These being sufficient to satisfy him, he turned the cannon loose, and the booming was heard far and near. Alex entertained his friends in his usual hospitable fashion, and the evening was one of unalloyed enjoyment. At a regular meeting of Chispa Chapter No. 151, Order of Eastern Star, held Monday evening, November 17, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. Fannie R. Bradford, worthy matron; Erwin Barr, worthy patron; Miss Sarah Crowther, associate matron; Joseph Helmsen, secretary; A. S. Bradford, treasurer; Mrs. Sarah A. Swain, conductress; Mrs. Eliza B. Mills, associate conductress. Rain began falling yesterday and continued at intervals during the day. Old-timers tell us we are to have a good winter. Turn on the water, Mr. Weather Clerk. John Brunworth has been suffering from an attack of blood poisoning, which started fro ma bite inflicted upon his neck by a mare. The animal had given birth to a colt and was fractious, and as Brunworth approached her, made a lunge at him, which he avoided by throwing his head to one side. The mare's teeth Rain began falling yesterday and continued at intervals during the day. Old-timers tell us we are to have a good winter. Turn on the water, Mr. Weather Clerk. John Brunworth has been suffering from an attack of blood poisoning, which started fro ma bite inflicted upon his neck by a mare. The animal had given birth to a colt and was fractious, and as Brunworth approached her, made a lunge at him, which he avoided by throwing his head to one side. The mare's teeth barely grazed the skin and nothing was thought of it for a week, when the glands began to swell. A physician was called and poultices applied. After a week's siege of it, John is able to be out again almost as well as ever. Richard Melrose made a trip to Riverside some days ago to make arrangements for the hearing of the case of the Anaheim and Santa Ana Water Companies against O. B. Fuller for illegal division of water from the river belonging to the plaintiffs. Fuller constructed a ditch and proceeded to tap the river, taking 1000 inches of water belonging to valley water companies. He is stubbornly contesting his rights to it, but the water companies will probably take a fall out of him. Mrs. P. Pfeninger and son, John, and daughter, Miss Emma, who have been staying at their ranch for the past three weeks, have returned to their home in Los Angeles. Charles Algeyer has finished gathering his walnuts on his ranch at Brookhurst, and is setting out cabbage. He had in three acres before the rain, and last week set out five acres more. He is one of the most experienced farmers in Orange county, and looks for a good return from the crop. David and Ernest Yorba were in town-from Yorba on Saturday. They inform us railway surveys have been run through their section recently. The opinion prevails that railroad building will be the order of the day in the not distant future. John Lemke was in town from Placentia on Monday. He states the Huntington electric people ran a line through his place last week, and that the country is full of railroad talk. Gus Strodthoff left for Jerome, Arizona, on Monday to resume his position with Senator Clark's copper mine. He has recovered from his indisposition and is quite himself again. R. R. Staples and Aandy Fuhrberg departed for San Jacinto on Saturday to look into a mining proposition. They may return home millionaire mining magnates. Mr. J. B. Neff reports a sale of hardshell walnuts at 10% cents per pound and softshells at 11¼ cents. This is the highest price recorded for walnuts this year.
