PAGE TWO 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, JUNE 15. 1878 A fine, large grizzly bear was killed up in the Santiago canyon a few nights ago. The vaintint had been annoying the bee-keepers quite seriously of late by his depredations. He was an incorrigible honey thief, upon whom neither moral suasion nor strychnine seemed to have any effects. Accordingly, Messrs. Dericott and Taylor, the latter a brother of Mr. Taylor of the Grange store, ensconced themselves in a tree for several nights, with murderous intent and double-barreled shotguns. Bruin, however, failed to appear, and Mr. Thistlewaite relieved the two gentlemen named. On the first night of his vigil, the bear came ambling to within twenty feet of the tree on which his human foe was perched. The story goes that the first ball from Mr. Thistlewaite's rifle gave Bruin his quietus, and that the eight subsequent shots which he fired failed to graze the dead monster. This part of the story, however, may be a base fabrication, emanating from the envious minds of the unsuccessful hunters. Mr. Thistlewaite has the skin of his victim nailed to the door of his wigwam as a trophy of his valor and skill. The board of school trustees met on Wednesday afternoon. Present, Messrs. Rimpau and Kroeger. The following bids for constructing the schoolhouse were opened. Edward Fickett, of Los Angeles, $8650; B. C. McKinnie of Anaheim, $10,380; C. The board of school trustees met on Wednesday afternoon. Present, Messrs. Rimpau and Kroeger. The following bids for constructing the schoolhouse were opened. Edward Fickett, of Los Angeles, $8650; P. C. McKinnie of Anaheim, $10,380; C. Stappanback, of Anaheim, $10,735. It was resolved that action in the above bids and in the proposals to purchase bonds be deferred to next Monday, when Mr. Athearn, the absent trustee, will be present. Disappointment was felt that only the bids for constructing the building were received. It would seem that a building of such magnitude should have drawn forth a lively competition. That it did not do so may be accepted as an indication that the carpenters of Los Angeles and this place have as much work as they can attend to—certainly a matter for congratulation. The second anniversary of the Literary Society was celebrated in Magnolia hall on Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the political meeting in Kroeger's hall the same evening, there was a good audience to listen to the society's exercises. The program began with an address by President Mendelson, in which he recounted the difficulties and discouragements the society had met since its formation and prophesied hopefully for its future success and usefulness. Mr. Montgomery followed with a history of the origin, rise, and progress of the society. He spoke of the benefit and advantages to be derived from a training in debate and parliamentary usages. Mr. Henderson recited an original poem of great merit. As his pream, "A Dream of Culture," will appear in The Gazette, those not present will have an opportunity to judge of its merits. Mr. J. M. Guinn read an essay entitled "The Croaker Family." Mr. Beebe followed with words of encouragement to the society. Mr. McFadden spoke next, telling an interesting story, and gave good advice to young speakers. The program for the next meeting is as follows: Declamations by Messrs. Grimshaw and Jayne Critic, H. S. Austin. Subject for debate: "Resolved, That the character of Oliver Cromwell is worthy of our admiration." Affirmative, Messrs. Guinn, Henderson, and Mitchell. Negative, Messrs. McFadden, Beebe, and Montgomery. Judges, Shaffer and Miss Ella Mitchell. Architect Boggs remarked in our hearing, the other day that he had inspected the brick now being made by Messrs. A Guy Smith & Company, and that in his opinion they were of very superior quality. A few minutes after 11 o'clock on Tuesday night a severe earthquake was felt in the city of Los Angeles. The first shock lasted about a second and was severe enough to put everybody on the qui vive. Eleven minutes later a second and more violent shock occurred. People poured out of the houses into the streets, clad airily and scantily, as befitted that time o'night. This shock is said to have been as severe as the one experienced in San Francisco during the month of October, 1868. A third shock which was felt in Anaheim, was so slight that only those who were awake felt it, occurred at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. No damage was done to buildings in the city. The great earthquake that destroyed the Mission church at San Juan Capistrano, 30 miles from Anaheim, occurred in 1812. At the time of the wigwam as a trophy of his valor and skill.

The great earthquake that destroyed the Mission church at San Juan Capistrano, 30 miles from Anaheim, occurred in 1812. At the time of the shake religious services were being held in the church, and over one hundred people were killed by the falling debris. Mr. Ben Dreyfus arrived from San Francisco on Wednesday evening. He will remain in Anaheim only a few days. Miss Clemmie Schmidt, who has been a pupil in Mills seminary, at Oakland, for the past two years, arrived here on Wednesday evening, to spend the vacation at home. Col. W. S. Davis of Orangethorpe had 18 acres of rye headed last Monday, and will have it in the San Francisco market in another week. It will probably be the first consignment of the season and ought to bring 2½ cents per pound. From Mr. Olden we learn that the wheat in the San Fernando valley will average about half a crop. In the near vicinity of Anaheim the crop is about in the same condition. On the Las Bolsas rancho, on the mesa near the beach, the wheat is very plump and fine and untouched by rust. After indulging in a couple of weeks' recreation at the seaside last summer, Mr. J. Y. Anderson returned to his home in Westminster and, to while away his leisure time, planted seven acres of his land to potatoes. The product was 225 sacks, which he sold for 2¼ cents per pound, making a profit of over $400.

Work began yesterday clearing the lot at the corner of Center and Lemon streets, preparatory to the erection of a brick block to be occupied by the postoffice. McWilliams & Dunn have the contract for the building, which will be a substantial structure, large enough to accommodate the demands of the growing postal business. The residence occupied by J. P. Hatzfeldt will be moved back and faced on Lemon street. The postoffice was many years present. DANCING CONTEST An international endurance dancing contest, to be held in the main arena of Madison Square Garden, begins a week from Sunday. The title of "World's Champion Endurance Dancers" and a prize of $5000 in cash go to the winning couple, and $15,000 will be divided among other leading contestants. Dancers who fail to keep in step with the music will be disqualified and contestants will be expected to maintain a neat appearance at all times. Entrants will dance for an hour and rest for fifteen minutes until they give up of their own accord. The fifteen-minute rest period may be utilized for sleep. Doctors will examine the contestants at regular intervals. The world's record was set in Tangiers, Morocco, by a Frenchman, Claude Nicholas, who danced for 266 hours in 1926. Some people gain fame by brains and bravery, and others by beef and endurance. The plaudits come also from two classes. There are some who admire, and are only capable of admiring, the size of a man's biceps or his girth, and the length of time he can stagger around on a dance floor. Others who cannot see much to admire in that, take off their hats in the presence of genius as evidenced by courageous service or the product of the mind. As a matter of fact, probably the majority of people enjoy the former more than the latter. Probably because they are ambitious in that direction, they would like to do it themselves; they have tried and failed. They do not know how to judge the skill in the other direction because they never have tried and failed. Sometimes one wonders regarding the theory of evolution—whether we are headed toward the animal or away from it. We have seen people, we are sure, going in either direction. Great Britain fires Prince Carol to prove to the world that this Rumanian disturbance is one she is not in on. Work began yesterday clearing the lot at the corner of Center and Lemon streets, preparatory to the erection of a brick block to be occupied by the postoffice. McWilliams & Dunn have the contract for the building, which will be a substantial structure, large enough to accommodate the demands of the growing postal business. The residence occupied by J. P. Hatzfeldt will be moved back and faced on Lemon street. The postoffice was many years ago located at this corner, and now after occupying its present location for a number of years is about to take Horace Greeley's advice and go west a block to where it was before. Mr. Dickel, through whose efforts removal was brought about, had the matter pretty well sewed up three months ago, when he offered to erect a building for the postoffice when the department desired a number of changes in the present location, which, as we are informed, was refused. Mr. Dickel had a heart to heart talk with Uncle Sam, and now everybody knows the result. One hundred and six votes were polled at the school election on Friday. A. W. Maxwell received for the three-year term, 72 votes, and was declared elected thereo. J. H. Encarl for the one-year term received 70 votes, and was likewise declared elected. Frank Porter was over from his walnut ranch on Orangehorpe avenue a day or two prior and speaking of the walnut crop outlook said there would not be a third of a crop of merchantable nuts in Southern California this year. Yet he does not favor putting prices at such altitudinal figures as would result in the importation of foreign nuts to any considerable extent. Treat your patrons well when the crop is short and they will do the same by you another way when nuts are plentiful. It's a poor rule that don't work both ways. Yungbluth & Kroeger have moved their tailoring and gents' furnishing goods store to their new place of business on Center street, which is one of the busiest stores in town. A new stock of goods is being placed on display, from which selections may be made by the most fastidious. For tailoring and gents' furnishing spend your money at home. Miss Inez James, daughter of Plez James, formerly of this city, was married at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Curtis Welch, in Los Angeles, some days ago, in Ernest Hedenberg, a popular young gentleman of that city.

Sam Kraemer was in town a day or two ago on a short business mission. He informs us many railway rumors are current in his neighborhood, but he found time the other day to ship five carloads of new baled hay to Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. F. Booge and daughter Mrs. Adolph Thomas leave on Sunday for pleasure trip of one weeks' duration to San Francisco. They go by steamer by way of Santa Monica. A gasoline stove in the residence of Claude Eaton, at the corner of Chartres and Olive streets, exploded shortly after 7 o'clock on Monday evening and almost totally destroyed the building, the occupants barely escaping with their lives. The alarm was given instantly and the fire bed was rung by Clarence Perdomo within a minute after the first cry of fire. The fire department had streams of water plung upon the fire within five minutes and, with excellent pressure upon the hose, the fire was soon under control. The building was owned by W. I. Carver and was not insured. Otto Rust and family leave soon for a business and pleasure trip to San Francisco. Peter Nichols leaves shortly for a visit to La Belle France, the country of his nativity. Captain Ahlborn will erect a residence on Addle street, near the Episcopal church.
