IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Cities. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 12. 1878 The entertainment on Wednesday evening was attended by a very large and, it is needless to say, an appreciative audience, and the members of the club cannot but feel grateful at the concourse which gathered to witness their efforts; and at the liberal ap- plause which greeted their performances. The opening farce, "Our Quiet Family," was played in an amusing and effective way. The cast was as follows: Miss Selina Summers—Miss Etta Bremerman. Peter Parker—W. H. Darracott. Snarley—J. D. Fish. Grumpy—Miss Ella Mitchell. Mrs. Benjamin Bibbs—Miss Nellie Kuchel. Benjamin Bibbs—Fred McKinnie. Mrs. Barnaby Bibbs—Miss Anna Fischer. Barnaby Bibbs—J. Langenderfer. A violin solo by John Hartung followed. The young gentleman, who has been practicing on the violin for only a year possesses an astonishing mastery over this instrument and he was heartily applauded. The Dutch song and dance by Mr. Langenderfer provoked great ltughter. Mr. Langenderfer has an aptitude for stage busi- ness that if followed will yet bring him renown. "The Fruits of the Wine Cup," a temperance drama, was next given with the following cast: Mr. Hamilton—Fred J. Fischer. Mr. Bailey—W. H. Darracott. Chas. Bailey—Fred McKinnie. Barnaby Bibbs—Miss Anna Fischer. A violin solo by John Hartung followed.

"The Fruits of the Wine Cup," a temperance drama, was next given with the following cast: Mr. Hamilton—Fred J. Fischer. Mr. Bailey—W. H. Darracott. Chas. Bailey—Fred McKinnie. Jack Andrews—J. D. Fish. Jeremiah—George Shafer. Speculation—J. Langenderfer. Kate Hamilton—Nellie Kuchel. Mary—Miss Ella Mitchell. Sarah—Miss Anna Fischer. Each character was so ably and equally sustained that we are relieved of the necessity of speaking of the different parts in detail. The drama is a very taking one and was rendered far better than could be expected by amateurs. The ball which followed was thoroughly enjoyed and not until 2 o'clock did the revelers disperse. The Anaheim Fire company has been practicing frequently of late for the race at Agricultural Park during fair week. Up to the present writing the following members have been selected to represent the company: F. W. Hartman, George Champlain, N. A. Bittner, F. J. Dalton, H. Cohn, H. Riepe, D. R. Payne, John Ey, Jos Backs. Ten members being required, there is one vacancy to be filled. The belief heretofore entertained that what could not be grown successfully near the ocean has been successfully exploded this year. E. A. Saxton tells us that there is a strip of mesa land close to the ocean on which wheat of excellent quality was grown, but that some distance inland the crop proved a failure having been attacked by rust. At the Fair next week there will be shown a sample of oats raised by Mr. Hanna of Anaheim. This is about the first time that oat raising has been tested here, and so successful was the experiment that in all likelihood a large area will be sown the coming season. The creditors of Jason B. Pierce, an insolvent, are notified to appear in the county court on November 15th to show cause why an assignment of his estate should not be made, and he be discharged of his debts and liabilities. We are pleased to learn that the Isabella mine in Silverado gives promise of great things. It is tunneled thirty feet and a ledge four feet wide is now in sight. The mine is owned by Messrs. L. Halberstadt, J. Olfinger and J. J. Hill. Chas. Hille has been in the mountains for the past week. It is said that he is endeavoring to capture a grizzly to add to his menagerie. Ernest Ferguson, formerly clerk in the Anaheim postoffice, has been elected to the position of apothecary of the Free Dispensary in Los Angeles. Chas. Hille has been in the mountains for the past week. It is said that he is endeavoring to capture a grizzly to add to his menagerie. Ernest Ferguson, formerly clerk in the Anaheim postoffice, has been elected to the position of apothecary of the Free Dispensary in Los Angeles. L. Wartenberg, the Town Tax Collector, has his office at the store of H. Cohen, and will be on hand to receive taxes on the 9th, 10th and 11th. This is the last opportunity we will have of appealing to our producers to exhibit their specialties at the Fair next week. They should take pride in assisting to make a local display which will attract the attention of visitors and impress them favorably with Anaheim. The railroads will carry goods to and from the Fair free of charge and Wells-Fargo & Co. will also carry packages of twenty pounds and under free. All having articles of merit should consider it a duty to swell the local exhibit, and we hope this eleventh-hour appeal will reach some who have been hesitating. We saw on Thursday a very fine collection of ore neatly labeled at Max Nebelung's. The ore was destined for the Fair. There will also be exhibited at the Fair, confined in a glass jar, two large tarantulas, very fine specimens of one of Silverado's prolific productions. The sacrament of baptism was administered a few days ago by the Rev. Mr. Trew, of the Episcopal church, to five members of a family residing a few miles from town. Three of the persons baptized were adults. On Sunday evening after the services at the church in Orange, Miss Cudderback and Mr. Honey were united in marriage. Two prisoners under arrest for disturbing the peace, were eating dinner at the restaurant on Monday in charge of Constable Bohn. They quarreled about something and came to blows. The officer separated them, but while engaged in soothing the ruffled plumage of one the other made his escape. J. M. Gibson gives notice that he has some very fine pasturage to rent. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 8, 1903 The trial of Ramon P. Cooper, Jr., charged with the murder of Leonco Yorba, was begun in Superior Court on Monday, Dist. Atty. Head and H. H. Appel of Los Angeles prosecuting. Judge J. W. Ballard appeared as counsel for defendant. The following jurors were selected: W. W. Pratt, J. A. Clark, A. B. Tiffany, S. C. Thompson, S. W. McCullock, H. J. Towne, E. F. Greenleaf, L. B. Fine, James Sleeper, Martin L. Rogers, F. R. Aldrich, O. M. Skinner. The first witness, Dr. C. D. Ball testified that Yorba's death resulted from concussion of the brain, caused by violence, and other witnesses from Yorba presented evidence showing that relations between Cooper and the dead youth were unfriendly. Cooper and Yorba were first cousins, and after work one evening in a scuffle between the two Yorba was thrown with such violence that he died a moment afterward. The prosecution alleges that the deed was done with deliberate intent. The deciduous fruit association will open its packing house at Loara station October 14th for receipt of this season's walnut crop. G. A. Hunter will be in charge of packing operations. The association expects to ship ten carloads, as against 21 last year. Orchardists report a light crop, not half as large as last season's. Some have more than they expected earlier in the season, while in other orchards the crop is lighter than anticipated. Prices are 12½ cents per pound. Many Veterans Get Exemption of Taxes More Than Three Thousand in County Are Favored Orange county presented its World War veterans with approximately $63,000 this year, it was revealed today. According to figures announced by James Sleeper, county assessor, 3288 ex-soldiers were given tax emption on property assessed at $1,799,820. The actual value of the property represented would be about $6,000,000. Each year World War veterans are privileged to file an exemption statement at Sleeper's office, releasing them from obligation to pay taxes on a certain amount of property. This is provided for under terms of the constitutional amendment of 1911, which provided that veterans owning small amounts of property should be relieved of a certain amount of taxes. An ex-service man is privileged to tax emption on property up to $5000 in value. Veterans throughout the state were exempt on property valued at $94,952,007, according to a statement from the state board of equalization. This represents an increase of 13.22 per cent over 1927, when the total veterans' exemption was $83,895,269. All of which means war veterans of California are getting richer. Then the board of equalization gave out this to show veterans are not getting rich as fast as the state's population as a whole. In 1927 the value of veterans' property exempt compared with the total value of assessed property in the state was 1.23 per cent. This year, although the veterans' figure is larger, it represents only 1.1 per cent of the total assessed value on the non-operative roll. Figures this year disclosed that the average worth of a veteran's property which goes tax free was $599 or $35 more than last year. Here's one more comparison: The deciduous fruit association will open its packing house at Loara station October 14th for receipt of this season's walnut crop. G. A. Hunter will be in charge of packing operations. The association expects to ship ten carloads, as against 21 last year. Orchardists report a light crop, not half as large as last season's. Some have more than they expected earlier in the season, while in other orchards the crop is lighter than anticipated. Prices are 12½ cents per pound. A new plate glass front has arrived for the Federman building, formerly occupied by the postoffice. The premises will be remodeled and a new stock of goods put in. Mr. Federman is now in San Francisco purchasing new goods, and he will have some eye-openers to show the natives when he returns. Col. J. K. Tuffree has sold twenty acres of his Placentia tract to Aldwin I. Ames of Chicago for $6000. The tract adjoins the ranch sold by P. H. Krick on the same day; consideration, $9000. The Krick ranch carries with it twenty shares of water stock and was set last year to oranges, while the Tuffree property has no water nor improvements. Mrs. Peter Weisel, Jr., left this week for Milwaukee for a three-months'-visit with relations. She was accompanied by her two sisters, the Misses Kline, who have been her guests here during the summer. Miss Hettie Weisel also accompanied the party. Mr. Weisel will join his wife in the East later in the season. Miss E. Brandt of Worden, Ill., is here on a visit with the family of J. H. Brunworth and will remain several weeks. Miss Brandt is traveling in California for the benefit of her health and may decide to locate permanently. Jacob Stern writes from Germany to the effect that his year-old baby daughter suffered a fracture of the thigh by the overturning of her carriage, and that the accident may delay the return of the family to this country. Mrs. W. W. Baker of Westminster, mother of the late D. M. Baker, editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin, celebrated her eighty-first birthday on Thursday with a family reunion at his home. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Boege were entertained at their home on West Center street some evenings ago by delgations from the Odd Fellows' lodge and Turner society. Misses Winnie Adams and Lennie McLellan departed Thursday evening for Tulare and San Francisco to spend several weeks with relatives and friends. Miss Lizzie Klecker and Mrs. Clara Lenhard of Los Angeles have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum during the past week. H. Hodel has leased the Del Campo hotel, succeeding Mr. Cerver in the management of the house. Mr. Hödel will conduct the hotel as a rooming house. Charles Allgeyer was a business visitor in town a day or two ago. He reports plenty of work upon the ranch, walnuts claiming a good share of attention. Business Improves In Twelfth District Industry and trade in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District were seasonally more active during August than during July and were at levels above those of a year ago. In the industrial field, lumbering, copper mining, and flour milling showed the largest increases in activity during the month and year. Sales at retail and at wholesale, and merchandise carloadings of freight were larger in volume during August than during July, and both sales and carloadings were larger than during August, 1927. Employment conditions in the district are reported to have improved during August, as compared with July, 1928, and are better than in August, 1927. The agricultural situation continues generally satisfactory except in certain restricted areas where specialty crops predominate. It is estimated that aggregate production of the principal crops grown in the district during 1928 will be slightly less than a year ago. Prices for many farm products important in this district, such as livestock, citrus fruits, and most dried fruits, accepting raisins, are higher than a year ago. Higher prospective returns for these products are about offset, however, by the lower returns in prospect for wheat, potatoes, and certain other field crops. The amount of credit extended by member banks of the district has risen by a substantial amount since August 1, as a result of both seasonal and non-seasonal increases in commercial loans and loans on securities. Borrowing at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also rose during this period, all of the increase being in discounts of city member banks. Reserve Bank discounts to country member banks (not including country branches of city member banks) were reduced during September to the lowest figure since last April, and to the lowest figure for this season of the year during the entire post-war period. Interest rates Miss Lizzie Klecker and Mrs. Clara Lenhard of Los Angeles have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum during the past week. H. Hodel has leased the Del Campo hotel, succeeding Mr. Corver in the management of the house. Mr. Hodel will conduct the hotel as a rooming house. Charles Allgeyer was a business visitor in town a day or two ago. He reports plenty of work upon the ranch, walnuts claiming a good share of attention. L. C. Blake, who, for two years past, has been an employee of this office, leaves this week for Boscobel, Wis., where he will go into partnership with his father in the publication of the Dial-Enterprise, one of the best known Republican newspapers in that state. Mr. Blake is an all-round newspaper man. He has been a faithful employee of this office and we part with him with regret. We trust that his lines may be cast in pleasant places and that he may give valiant service to the cause of his native state. R. L. Scott has purchased the interest of Chas. Stadtegger in the blacksmithing firm of Scott & Stadtegger; The latter will locate in Fullerton. Born—Thursday, October 1st, to the wife of Dr. H. A. Johnston, a daughter. Mother and child are doing well. Zanjero Brunworth reports an increased quantity of water and ditches running bank full in all directions. Ray Clark of the Needles has been here the past week visiting relatives and friends. He is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith. Olive was taken into camp by the Young Americas on Sunday to the tune of 5 to 1. Ted Dickel was put in the box for a tryout and he held the Oliveites down to five scattering hits. In the fifth inning with the bases full and none out, Second Baseman Lewis nabbed a hot liner from Reilly's bat with one hand and assisted in a neat double play. The side was retired on a sensational catch by Hartung while galloping backwards. In the ninth the visitors were retired in one, two, three order through the assistance of a brilliant stop and throw by Shortstop Fischer, Outfielders Mang and Venzuela of the visitors made sensational catches of difficult fly balls. A game will probably be played by the reorganized Orangethorpes and the Young Americas on Sunday, the 18th, inst. The amount of credit extended by member banks of the district has risen by a substantial amount since August 1, as a result of both seasonal and non-seasonal increases in commercial loans and loans on securities. Borrowing at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also rose during this period, all of the increase being in discounts of city member banks. Reserve Bank discounts to recount member banks (not including country branches of city member banks) were reduced during September to the lowest figure since last April, and to the lowest figure for this season of the year during the entire post-war period. Interest rates on loans to commercial borrowers and correspondent banks, charged by member banks in the principal cities of the district, have not increased during recent months and are practically the same as those which prevailed throughout most of 1927. People in the good old days didn't have nearly so much to worry about as we do. For instance, they didn't have to wonder who would win the world series every fall. Tryouts for members of the University of Southern California band, which is nationally famous for its stunts at football games, are being held this week by Harold Roberts, director of the huge collegiate organization. More than 200 students will play in the band this year, according to Roberts. Snake bites treated by radio on Atlantic says a headline in the New York Times. But a lot of people will continue to prefer the old-fashioned method of treatment.
