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 3, 1880 The Anaheim Literary Union met in regular session on Thursday evening and after the usual preliminaries the following program was rendered: Trio, "I'll Remember You in My Prayers," Miss Crowther and the Misses Campbell, with organ accompaniment by Miss Seibert. Miss Laura Campbell then April-fooled the Union in beautiful style. Mr. Edens Crowe gave a declamation entitled, "Religion, What Is It." Mrs. Lewis read the pathetic sketch of "Little Joe." Mrs. Parker read, "The Harp of a Thousand Strings," and Al Taylor read a humorous sketch entitled, "Taking an Item." Mr. Athearn read a selection from Hiawatha. The program committee reported the following program for the meeting of April 8th: Music; Declamation, Julius Voight; recitation, Miss Nellie Kuchel; recitation, Miss Carrie Seibert; declama-tion, Mr. Marsh; Debate, "Resolved, that the adjustment between labor and capital can be effected peaceably, affirmative, J. M. Guinn, F. W. Athearn, E. Crowe. Negative, C. W. Campbell, W. H. Henderson, E. M. Ferguson. There was a large attendance at the Presbyterian social on Friday evening of last week, and the entertainment was one of unusual merit. The inauguration of these socials was a happy idea, and each succeeding one is more enjoyable and entertaining than its predecessor. A feature of the last one was the guitar solos of Prof. Finck, whose musical accomplishments are of a high order. "The Mistletoe Bough," was also given in good style, the several parts being well sustained. labor and capital can be effected peaceably, affirmative, J. M. Guinn, F. W. Athearn, E. Crowe.

Rain began to fall about 9:30 o'clock on Thursday night and continued with but little intermission all night and yesterday up to the time of going to press. Up to 8 a.m. yesterday the fall was 32 making the total for the season 10.97 inches. At the present writing it looks as if 12 inches would be reached before the rain ceases. It is the warmest rain of the season and will do a power of good to the growing crops. The only annoyence it gives is to the sheep men, who have to suspend shearing until dry weather comes again. The rainfall for the month of March as recorded by Mr. E. S. Saxton is 2 3-16 inches and for the season 11 inches. Mr. A. C. Roques met with a painful accident at Forster's ranch on Tuesday. He was stripping a tree for firewood and laying hold of a large dry branch, he pulled with such force as to cause it to detach from the tree suddenly. It struck the ground and rebounded and as it did so it struck his cheek bone tearing it loose and forcing it up towards the eve. He was brought to Anaheim for medical treatment, and although the wound is a bad one painful it will get well in course of time. Mr. G. B. Dillon, formerly with Mr. R. H. Gilman on the orchard near Anaheim, but for the past few months a resident of Alleghany, Pa., had a bad accident befall him a few days ago. He was pushing a car up an incline at the mine where he was at work when the rope with which the car is pulled broke. To keep from being run over by the car, Mr. Dillon jumped from the trestle work, but he struck the ground with such force as to break his leg. Mr. W. E. Cooley of Los Angeles and Mrs. A. W. Lippincott, of Pasadena, were married at Mr. J. W. Landell's ranch home at Centralia on Thursday, the ceremony being according to the Quaker form, of which society the bride is a member. The company being assembled with a Justice of the Peace present, the high contracting parties entered the room and each in turn repeated a formula of marriage obligation. After this a formal marriage contract, written on parchment, was produced and acknowledged by the bride and groom before the magistrate and afterwards signed by each member of the company as a witness. A card—Mrs. Clara Rust and family wish to return their sincere and heartfelt thanks to the people of Anaheim in general and to the members of the Anaheim Fire company in particular for their sympathy and kindness to them in their sad bereavement, and for the respect they paid to their dear and beloved father and husband gone to his last resting place. Mr. L. F. Lewis is fitting up the building on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets for a livery stable. Upon removing from his present quarters, they will be taken by Messrs. Dunham & Clift, who will continue it as a livery and feed stable.

An amusing dumb farce "Cunid in the Kitchen" afforded great amusement. A recitation by Master Nelson Edwards deserves special mention. From the spirited manner in which it was given promise of quite a talent in that direction is shown. Mr. Hippolyte Cahen left for San Francisco yesterday and will return on Tuesday or Wednesday next bringing with him a stock of spring goods, the selection of which he will personally attend to. Mrs. Ferguson, mother of Ernest Ferguson, has returned to Anaheim, and with her son now lives in the house formerly occupied by Mr. Schubert. H. B. Forbes of San Dimas canyon (5 miles northeast of Pomona) writes that since the 1st of December he has killed 47 wild cats, 10 foxes, 7 raccoons and 2 lynx being aided in the slaughter by four dogs and his old gun "Sally." The luxuriance of the feed on the plains about Anaheim is remarkable. The alfilleria is especially large and abundant. A bunch brought to this office the other day by Mr. Wartenberg measured 37 inches in length. The telegraph office will be removed today from its present location to one of Mrs. Metz' buildings on Los Angeles street. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Booth formerly of Westminster died at San Francisco on Wednesday morning. Don Ygnacio Del Valle, father of Assemblyman Del Valle of this county, died at his ranch in Ventura county on Tuesday. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 6, 1905 Regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company with the following members present, namely: Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Kraemer, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. Zeyn reported having purchased lumber for the bridge at the Raessler place and that the bridge has been constructed in satisfactory manner. Further time was granted the ditch committee on the matter of the Santa Ana and Witmer ditches. The finance committee reported bills amounting to $4532.92 with available cash $7042.57. On motion of Bradford the report of the finance committee was accepted and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various amounts as therein recommended and in addition thereto the following bills were ordered paid: J. F. Sanchez, $655; T. Montgomery, $25; a Nagle, $13.65, and the George Hunter note for $600. S. Armor, the delegate of the two water companies to the water conference held at Riverside on March 25, presented his report which was placed on file. The secretary reported to the Board of Directors that E. K. Benchley, manager of the Columbia Commercial Co., has signed in behalf of said company usual contract with users of water outside the district whereby they waive their right to acquire a perpetual right. Said contract also signed by Mr. Carhart. The application of E. Kossert for the privilege of purchasing 3 bbls. of cement was granted. Communication from E. R. Turck asked that a cement arch be placed in front of his property he to pay for same. Granted. On motion of Zeyn, Mrs. C.

Referred to superintendent with power. The indemnity bond of W. B. Parrett, Janjero for $500 was accepted and filed as was that of A. L. Porter, superintendent, in the sum of $1000. Huntington Beach will soon have electric lights, provision for this improvement having been completed by the Huntington Beach company, and the work of installing will soon begin. The service will include illumination for the streets, wharf, pavilion, business and residence houses where desired. The enterprise speaks well for the town. The Olinda Stars redeemed their lost laurels at the ball game on Sunday afternoon at Athletic Park when they gathered in the Hoegee Flags, the game being without doubt the most exciting and interesting of the season. The score was 7 to 6. Fayette Lewis covered himself with glory by knocking a three bagger and holding down the Keystone superbly. Crips pitched a good steady game passing but two men and striking out seven. Third baseman, Head, made some very clever stops and throws to first. Meats receiving work was good and he rarely let any hit the backstop. E J. Morrison umpired a fine game, giving satisfaction to both teams. The Olindas play the Owls of Los Angeles next Sunday in this city. Thursday was one of the most disagreeable days of the year. A chilly west wind blew during the afternoon and a gale was reported off the coast. The thermometer dropped to 36 during the night, but Friday night the mercury dropped one degree lower touching 35, the lowest temperature of the year. A light frost was reported, doing no damage. W. C. Mauerhan has presented the Chamber of Commerce with a large bottle containing a sample of ground chili peppers. Mr. Mauerhan has achieved notable success in the ground pepper industry and ships it in large quantities throughout the southwest and Mexico. Recent surveys seem to have turned property lines topsy-turvy. The latest discovery is that Warner’s barn projects fourteen inches upon the property on which the Odd Fellows are preparing to erect a two story brick block. Mr. Nemitz finds his paint shop infringes an inch upon Mrs. Strodthoff’s Center street property. Several fences and at least one barn have had to be moved in order to conform to the spirit of progress. These changes foreshadow a building boom which will be on in full swing before the summer is well advanced. Fred Chamberlain of the Santa Ana Bulletin was in town on Monday, when he announced his intention of consulting a Los Angeles oculist for his failing eyes. Fred has laid aside the editorial pen and will devote his entire attention to an effort to re- Angeles, Inspector. Mrs. Mabel West, 222 E. Alberta, Judge. Mrs. Mary F. Mickle, 725 N. Olive, Clerk.

Fred Chamberlain of the Santa Ana Bulletin was in town on Monday, when he announced his intention of consulting a Los Angeles oculist for his failing eyes. Fred has laid aside the editorial pen and will devote his entire attention to an effort to restore his sight. The best wishes of his many friends go with him. Mr. Radcliffe of Toronto who has been a guest of Dr. Johnston for a fortnight denoted this week for his Rome in Canada. Victor Schmacher was in town this week from his ranch on the north side. He says the country over his way is looking better than he ever saw it and Victor has lived their eighteen years. Mrs. N. H. Mitchell was in town from Pasadena, Monday. She has in contemplation the erection of a two-story brick block adjoining the new Odd Fellows block on the east. Oliver Hill came in from the west side Tuesday afternoon. He says the county never looked better and that crops of all kinds promise well. Oliver grows handsomer every day and we hear nothing but the best of reports about him. W. A. Ross was elected elder of the Presbyterian church at the election on Wednesday last, and George Ross, trustee. Rev. Chapman preached on Sunday and announced he would again occupy the pulpit the coming Sabbath. The new trustees will probably select a new pastor forthwith. Mr. Theodore Reiser has been appointed guardian of Mrs. L. Keller with bonds fixed at $3,000. Mr. and Mrs. Rae visited friends in San Diego during last week's carnival. They report an enjoyable time renewing old acquaintances and sight seeing in the rapidly growing metropolis of the south. Miss Nellie Darling, daughter of T. A. Darling, has returned from Ontario where she has been visiting her sister. L. E. MILLER, Mayor of the City of Anaheim. Attest: EDWARD B. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim.
