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 APRIL 26, 1879 The Anaheim Literary Society convened at the usual hour. The opening address was by Miss Bessie Lawrence and Mrs. Fannie. The audience was filled with this music treat that lasted one second time. Mr. D. H. Payne read a critical on the occasion of last meeting. He pitched into the Gazette's report of the debate of the previous meeting. His idea seemed to be that the reporter should have reported a large majority in favor of the new constitution, whether such a majority existed or not. As the critic was one of the speakers of the previous evening and was one of the five who voted that they had cleaned out the other side, he would probably have left a better impression in regard to his capability to judge impartially had he said nothing about the vote. The debate was next declared in order. The order of business was suspended and persons not members of the society were invited to take part in the debate. Mr. D. R. Payne led in the affirmative and Mr. J. W. Guinn in the negative. Mr. B. F. E. Kellogg was invited by a gentleman on the negative to give his views on the constitution. Mr. Kellogg's views were decidedly in favor of the new constitution. Mr. Lynill was invited to speak in the negative and presented his views in a clear and concise manner. He made one of the best arguments against the constitution that we have heard during the campaign. The decision of the audience was in favor of the negative by a large majority. The following is the program for the next meeting Friday: Declamations and recitations by Miss Nellie Kuchel. Miss Doretta Fischer, Mr. Henderson and Mr. E. Ferguson; reading of the "Leader" by the assistant editor. A large company assembled at the Catholic church on Saturday.

The bride looked lovely in a dress of lavender silk, with satin sleeves and trimmings of the same shade. Her head was crowned with a magnificent wreath of orange blossoms and pendant was an embroidered tulle veil. The bridesmaids, Miss Claudina Rimpau and Miss Sepulveda, were beautifully attired, the former in a white alpaca with elegant laces and jewelry and the latter in a rich cream-colored brocaded satin, with tulle and blonde fuchsia and overdress. After the ceremony the relatives repaired to the home of the groom's parents and partook of the wedding breakfast, and then the young couple started on their wedding tour, taking with them the well wishes of their numberless friends. At the request of a number of residents in that locality, the Rev. Mr. Trew will hold Episcopal services in the Centralia school house at 3:30 o'clock on the afternoons of the second and fourth Sunday of each month. That chronic nuisance Juan Baptista, or "Quaty," was arrested by Officer Bohn on Thursday for vagrancy and sent to jail for sixty days by Justice Bailey. The town engine and pump was put to test on Wednesday by Mr. Sorensen. With a pressure of fifty pounds it pumped 5,230 gallons of water in ninety minutes. It was running on Thursday with a pressure of about 40 pounds and doing its work well. Considerable anxiety has been felt as to whether the water in the well would seriously diminish, but no fears are now entertained of such a disaster. During the ninety minutes' run on Wednesday a record was kept which showed that in the first thirty minutes the water was lowered 381/4 inches; in the second 30 minutes, 31/4 inches; and in the third 30 minutes, 2 inches. On Thursday the lowering was scarcely perceptible. Notwithstanding that the tank had been empty for three weeks, scarcely a drop of water leaked through. Mr. Wille did a fine piece of work on the tank, as this severe test conclusively shows. The anneal of Knox, superintendent of irrigation vs. the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county, was argued by Ross for respondent and Hutton for appellant, in supreme court on Monday, and the cause submitted. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau received several cases of dress goods, notions, etc. Call and examine the new stock today. On Wednesday morning the little town of Santa Ana was thrown into a state of excitement by the news that Dr. J. N Burnett had died suddenly in his room at the Santa Ana hotel. A coroner's inquiry was called by Justice J. C. Rushing and Doctors Hardin and Bailey of Anaheim, Howe, Crane, Rowan, Lyle and Jones were called into the cause of his death. Messrs.

On Wednesday morning the little town of Santa Ana was thrown into a state of excitement by the news that Dr. J. N. Burtnett had died suddenly in his room at the Santa Ana hotel. A coroner's inquest was called by Justice J. C. Rushing and Doctors Hardin and Bailey of Anaheim, Howe, Crane, Rowan, Lyle and Jones were called to inquire into the cause of his death. The coroner's jury found that he came to his death by alcoholic poison. The many friends of Mrs. Webber, widow of the late Rev. L. P. Webber, founder of Westminster Colony, will be pained to hear that she is seriously ill in New Jersey and is not expected to recover. Pursuant to call the electors of Anaheim met on Wednesday night at Mr. Classen's establishment, as Kroeger's hall was in use by the Amateur Club. Mr. T. L. Gannon was chosen to preside and Richard Melrose was elected secretary. Nominations for five trustees were declared in order and Messrs. Zevn, Luedke, Werder, Kroeger, Korn, F. Banks, Leonard., D. E.

The conolation was won by Miss Theresa Fay. After the game refreshments were served and a pleasant afternoon was spent by all present. Mrs. Horstman entertained the Miércoles Club at progressive euchre yesterday afternoon. Frank Baum this week bought of Richard Melrose two lots at the corner of Chartres and Hedwig streets. Mr. Baum bought the lots as an investment, but may decide to build on them later. Samuel Kraemer was a business visitor in town this week He reports walnut trees looking well, but hardly advanced enough to tell much about the size of the coming crop. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Nagle, parents of A. Nagle, and their daughter, Miss Carrie Nagle, have returned from Long Beach, and will leave today for their home in the east. A crowded house presented the presentation of the comic operetta, "Die Wilde Toni," in German, at Turner hall on Sunday evening. The occasion was the fifth stiftungsfest given by the ladies of The Turner Sisterhood, and an enjoyable time was participated in by all. Dancing was indulged in after the concert and maintained until a late hour. Frank Gates is home from Oxnard, having been summoned on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Gates. Mr. Gates expects to remain a week or two and will then return to Oxnard, where he is engaged on the Catholic church now building at that place. He has been employed on the building seven months and has several weeks' employment ahead of him. Mrs. Gates' condition was yesterday reported to be improved, and she will doubtless soon be out again. The palatial home of Peter Weisel, Sr., on the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets, is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in a couple of weeks. The Calavo Growers or California report that most of the Fuerte avocado crop is yet to be moved. So far only about one-third of the estimated crop of this variety has been sold and prices have shown little recent change, although demand is steadily increasing. Large size fruit, such as Challenge, Dickey, and Dickey A., are coming into the central packing house at the present time. Most of these large size fruits are consumed in eastern markets, although there has been an unusual demand this year for smaller fruits also. For the past two weeks the market has been flooded with orchard run offerings selling at competitive prices with the Calavo grade. The local market is demoralized and prices are declining. The estimate for the 1928-1929 avocado crop has not been changed, according to the Grower's Marketing Association. While it is still early to forecast with any degree of accuracy the deciduous fruit prospects of California, there are several influences already apparent which will no doubt have a decided effect on the crop in some sections. Reports from the north indicate that on the night of Saturday, March 30, there was an untimely frost which caused considerable damage. It stated that in the Stockton-Lodi section damage to all fruits, with the exception of cherries, was 75 per cent. Experienced fruit men say that this section was damaged to a greater degree than ever before. Cherries in this district will run about 60 per cent loss. The Sacramento river stone fruits were badly damaged, although pears came through in good shape because they were not advanced very far. The Sulson and Vacaville districts also had frost damage, the extent of which has not been determined as yet. The tree fruits in Placer county were decreased 50 per cent by this untimely low temperature and Sutter county, the center of the canning peach industry in Sacramento Valley, also shows a considerable reduction on account of the visitation of frost. Deciduous fruit distributors declare that as present time it is like California's tree deal "in shot." Scientists say that the people on Mars have six legs apiece. Just think of having to buy cheeses for a family of six-legged flappers! Frank Gates is home from Oxnard, having been summoned on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Gates. Mr. Gates expects to remain a week or two and will then return to Oxnard, where he is engaged on the Catholic church now building at that place. He has been employed on the building seven months and has several weeks' employment ahead of him. Mrs. Gates' condition was yesterday reported to be improved, and she will doubtless soon be out again.
