IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 29, 1880 The annual examination of the Anaheim Public Schools will begin on Wednesday, June 2. The classes in the advanced grade (Mr. Guinn's room) will be examined on Wednesday forenoon and afternoon. The classes in the intermediate and primary departments will be examined on Friday forenoon and afternoon. Graduating and literary exercises will be held in Mr. Guinn's room on Thursday afternoon commencing at 2 o'clock. These exercises will be more than usually interesting. All interested in educational matters are cordially invited to attend the examinations and other exercises. Marshal Barham has had some difficulty in collecting the dog license, the grounds of refusal in most cases being that the ordinance fixing the license was never published. The town charter (and it is with sorrow we say it) does not require the publication of ordinances, but that the dense ignorance which prevails on the subject may be dispelled, we publish the ordinance, premising that Marshal Barham intends to enforce it, like the good officer that he is. The alarm of fire given on last Saturday afternoon was caused by the discovery of some burning rubbish in the rear of Kroeger's block on Center street. It was extinguished before any damage was done. About 9 o'clock on Wednesday a stable in the rear of Leonard and Drown's meat market was found to be on fire. The efficiency of our water system was displayed for the first time, and it is safe to say that any lingering objections which may have lurked in the minds of the tax payers, as to the cost of the introduction of the system were removed by seeing the effect it had in staying this fire. The barn which was owned by Tim Boege was damaged to some extent and about $15 worth of hay belonging to Leonard and Drown was burned. The loss of course is only trivial, but the fire would have done great damage among adjacent buildings, had there been a breeze blowing, or had the firemen not mastered it as soon as they did. After the fire a tramp was arrested on suspicion of being the incendiary and was lodged in... rear or Leonard and Drown's meat market was found to be on fire.

The loss of course is only trivial, but the fire would have done great damage among adjacent buildings, had there been a breeze blowing, or had the firemen not mastered it as soon as they did. After the fire a tramp was arrested on suspicion of being the incendiary and was lodged in jail. He was released on the following morning, however, as no evidence was forthcoming to substantiate the charge. On last Monday morning two cows were stolen from Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt's place. Information of the theft having been conveyed to Officer Bohn he kept a vigilent lookout and early on Tuesday morning he discovered the cattle in town in the possession of a Mexican. The officer called on the man to surrender, but instead of doing so, he rode off as fast as his horse could carry him leaving his prey in Bohn's possession. On last Sunday the horses attached to a carriage in which sat Mr. G. H. Kellogg's little daughter, Gracie, became frightened at something and ran away from front of the Kellogg residence. When near the residence of Judge Bailey a jolt of the carriage threw the child out and she quite miraculously escaped the slightest injury. The runaway team was subsequently captured, and everything found intact. Mr. J. C. Hill is in town from Silverado last week. Mr. Hill brings cheering news from that mining camp. Work is being prosecuted night and day on several of the mines, and the fact of their value or worthlessness will soon be demonstrated. We hope within a few weeks to be able to publish some facts regarding Silverado which will be astonishing news to most people. An attempt was made one day last week to burglarize the residence of A. Mills, of Garden Grove. On the night in question Mr. Mills' daughters were awakened by hearing someone trying to open the door of the house. Failing to effect an entrance in that way, they were proceeding to open a window when the outcries of the young ladies alarmed the marauders and they fled. It is thought that the object of the burglars was to get some money which it was supposed Mr. Mills had in the house, he having sold a lot of corn the day before. Mr. Fritz Reuter of Santa Ana informs us that he has taken charge of the arrangements for a fourth of July celebration at the large shady grove of Mr. Silas Rickey. A dancing platform will be erected, and an abundance of artisian water will be brought on the ground through pipes laid from the well. The music will be first class and nothing will be left undone to secure the pleasure of visitors. At the stores of H. Cahen and A. Langenberger there is now kept regularly on hand a supply of hams made at the pork-packing establishment of Mr. Robert Eccles in Westminster. The products of this establishment are rapidly working their way into public favor, and it is one of the few industries which has made marked progress during the past year of depression.

The products of this establishment are rapidly working their way into public favor, and it is one of the few industries which has made marked progress during the past year of depression. M. Eccles informs us that he is much encouraged at the way in which his goods are finding a market. We advise everyone to test these hams as we have done and they will agree with us that they are not in any way inferior to the imported article. Rev. A. L. Trew, formerly of Anaheim, has resigned the rectorship of Trinity Church, Santa Barbara, and proposes to remove to San Gabriel, taking charge of a church at that place. Mr. Chas. Wille, our cooper, is making honey barrels by the thousand. He has got the method of making them down to an exact science, and apiarists who once try his barrels will use no others. The wife of George Lundy, of Mountain View Bee Ranch, San Fernando, was quite seriously burned on Wednesday while attempting to save valuables in the house which had taken fire during her temporary absence. She was taken to the county hospital. When you can get a business suit made to order for $20 it is time to award the palm for cheapness to the enterprising gentleman who boldly brings prices down to such a low notch. The proprietor of the Merchant Tailoring Emporium (M. A. Mendelson) has put prices of clothing so low that it is within the power of everyone to dress like a millionaire. Chas. Wagner offers a reward of $25 for the recovery of the animals which were stolen from him in the 7th inst. The colt is a valuable animal and its loss is keenly felt by Mr. Wagner. A game of baseball will positively be played today on the Anaheim Recreation grounds, the contestants being the nine of the Los Angeles Academy and a nine composed in part by the Anaheim club. The game will begin at 11 o'clock sharp. S OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 1, 1905 Memorial day was observed on Tuesday with the usual decoration of graves of the dead in the cemetery and by rendition of a program of patriotic exercises at Music hall. The exercises were under the auspices of Melvern Hill Post G. A. R., and the Women's Relief corps of Fullerton. A large attendance of school children sang patriotic songs in the cemetery before the decoration of the thirty soldiers graves began. Company E under command of Capt. Stern accompanied the veterans to the burial grounds and members of the post and woman's relief corps ate their lunches during the noon hour under the trees near the last resting places of the departed. In the afternoon a large crowd packed Music hall to hear Rev. Will A. Knighten deliver the oration. Rev. Knighten recalled the time when, thirty years ago, he first came to Anaheim as pastor of the Presbyterian church. Looking at Rev. Johnson who occupied a chair upon the platform he said: "There were no Methodists here than," His field included Anaheim, Orange Santa Ana, and Tustin. The speaker was frequently greeted with applause and his entertaining address was followed by closest attention throughout. L. Lovitt of Buena Park, commander of the post acted as master of ceremonies. Among those taking part in the program of music and recitations were: Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Corbin, Mrs. McComber, Miss Perry, Miss Sloane, Miss Perry, Harry Whitaker, Mr. Angel, Stanley Chapman. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. B. Markel. On June 28th the seniors of the Anaheim high school will present Shakespeare's roaring farce "The Taming of the Shrew." The play is entertaining and instructive and the costumes used are gorgeous. The seniors are confident of putting on the play satisfactorily and their expectations will doubtless materialize. A social dance will be given at the conclusion of the play. Fritz Martin narrowly escaped serious injury on Saturday while driving a young horse along Center street near Olive. The animal insisted upon turning into the latter thoroughfare, while SPEEDING UP COURT CASES Legislature To Be Called Upon For Action at Next Session A general speeding up if litigation in California courts is being sought by the State Bar in a campaign just inaugurated, with the motto—"Break the bottle neck of litigation." In Orange county A. Launer of Fullerton has been appointed to seek local support for the movement, so that the matter may be presented to the next legislature for action. Deplorable conditions, where litigation is delayed for three years or longer is pictured by Charles A. Beardsley, president of the Bar, in describing the situation. "On the first of this year there were pending in the appellate courts of California 2,166 uncalendared cases," Beardsley said. "With 25 judges working at their present speed, if no new appeals were filed it would take almost two years to dispose of cases on the back calendar alone. If the present rate of increase continues to exist, in a few years our courts will be so far behind that they will find it impossible to catch up." This is a problem in which every taxpayer and litigant is concerned. Last year the actual expenditures of the Supreme Court and District Courts of Appeals were $447,970. Each case appealed cost the litigant $510 for the appeal alone, excluding attorneys' fees and other costs not connected with the briefs or transcripts, not to mention loss caused by the great delay in getting decisions." Time and energy of attorneys is needlessly dissipated in appealing cases, according to Beardsley. First the law of a case must be worked up and most of the facts, before filing pleadings; then six months later the facts and the law are thoroughly worked up for trial, repeating all the former work. About six months after trial he writes the briefs, once again repeating his legal work. Finally, two years later, he must argue On June 28th the seniors of the Anaheim high school will present Shakespeare's roaring farce "The Taming of the Shrew." The play is entertaining and instructive and the costumes used are gorgeous. The seniors are confident of putting on the play satisfactorily and their expectations will doubtless materialize. A social dance will be given at the conclusion of the play. Fritz Martin narrowly escaped serious injury on Saturday while driving a young horse along Center street near Olive. The animal insisted upon turning into the latter thoroughfare, while Fritz was anxious to continue straight ahead and get out of the rain as soon as possible. The result was that a collision with the sidewalk ensued, but after stopping the horse and examining the vehicle it was found that nothing about the rig was broken. Twenty seniors of '05 from the Orange county high schools attended a reception at Whittier-college Friday. Among those present were Elsa Christian, Clara Fischer, David Christian, Harry Barter, Harold Pellegrin, Ernest Clabaugh and Ned Merritt of the senior class of the Anaheim high school. The students enjoyed a very nice time and are making plans to attend Whittier college as soon as the school opens for the coming term. Company E members to the number of twenty had target practice on their range Sunday. The average was good. The highest score, 61 points out of 75 was made by Murray Paschall. Next Sunday the guardsmen shoot for the company medal. Capt. Stern informs us that eighteen guardsmen of the state making the best scores will be sent east this summer to compete in the inter-state shoot to be held at Seagirt, N. J. Several target practices at two, three and five hundred yards will be held on the local range before the big shoot. One of the features of the outing on Sunday was Quartermaster Schumacher's luncheon. It was put up in the finest style, fit for a brigadier-general. Members of the seventh and eighth grades of the grammar school gave a picnic in the canyon on Saturday. They went up on a tallyho and had lunch in the park. The young folks walked over to Fern canyon, only one small snake was found and all were glad of that. The children returned home at a late hour and all report having had a good time. There is no letup in the construction of pumping plants in this district, two or three new ones being commenced every week: The following new plants have just been commenced: F. A. Peterson, forty horse power electric plant on his place west of town, Mr. Maguire, thirty horse power plant west of town, Thomas Meguer, twenty horse power plant in his ranch at Magnolia, J. E. Stockwell, twenty horse power gasoline power plant on his place north of town. The total number of plants in this section will soon reach 300. Fred Bixby advertises a grand auction sale of 130 head of horses and cows on the Rancho Los Alamitos, 6 miles east of Long Beach at 10 A.M., June 8. Godfrey Stock and Joseph Hatfield drive to Azusa, tomorrow, for the purpose of installing several distillate burners, for which they have a patent. They leave at 9 o'clock in the morning and will return in the evening. NEEDLESS DEATHS FROM DROWNING Proper Methods of Respiration Would Save Many Lives, It Is Claimed The 1930 campaign against needless deaths from drowning has been started by the state department of public health. Each year the department tells the public how to prevent drownings and also how resuscitate those apparently dead. But during the past ten years a total of 3,734 Californiaans have drowned. Excluding the 300 deaths that occurred during the St. Francis dam disaster in 1928, the total number is 3,434, an average of nearly 350 a year. Lives of many apparently drowned could be saved by proper methods of artificial respiration, according to the department. A brief summary of this system is given as follows: 1. Lay the patient on his stomach, with nose and mouth free to breath. 2. Kneel over the patient, placing the palms on the small of the back, fingers in natural position. 3. Arms straight, swing weight of body on patient, then swing back, removing pressure completely, continuing twelve to fifteen times a minute. 4. Continue without interruption until natural breathing is restored, for four hours or longer if necessary. 5. Patient should be stripped to Fred Bixby advertises a grand auction sale of 130 head of horses and cows on the Rancho Los Alamitos, 6 miles east of Long Beach at 10 A.M., June 8.

They leave at 9 o'clock in the morning and will return in the evening. Mr. J. M. Guinn, a former resident of Anaheim was a visitor in town on Monday. Mrs. Guinn visited the cemetery to view the last resting place of a member of her family who passed away many years ago. O. C. Chapman and family of Fullerton attended Memorial day exercises at Music hall on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. D. A. Wilkins, sister of Mrs. Dr. McFarland leaves this week for her home in Chicago accompanied by her daughter, Miss Glenn Wilkins. They have been on a visit with relatives here for some weeks past. Mr. Wilkins arrived from Chicago yesterday to accompany them home. R. H. Gilman was in town from Placentia on Saturday during the showery weather. Mr. Gilman observed he considered the precipitation an imposition inasmuch as he had just baled a quantity of hay and had not put it under cover. Max Nebelung of this city has been elected president of the county board of horticulture. Fred Rafferty of Santa Ana is secretary of the board. Herman Dickel, E. Turck, and Frank Shanley and their families picniced in Santiago canyon on Sunday. The day was delightful and a pleasant outing was enjoyed. Walter Crowther is in receipt of a letter from his father who fails from Boston on the 5th for Europe. Mr. Crowther intended mailing May 21st but relatives in Boston prevailed upon him to remain a fortnight longer in that city than he had anticipated. John Kuebler has purchased a half interest in a steam launch which he will operate in Long Beach and San Pedro waters. John will use the launch in the fish business.

Nearly all deaths from drowning are in men, records show. About half of all drownings occur between the ages of 10 to 19 years and 35 to 54 years, proving that those from 20 to 34 are better able to protect themselves against possible hazards of accidental drowning. Although California's popular swimming places are provided by law with life guards, thoroughly trained in methods of artificial respiration, there are many places where a knowledge of this method might save lives. Moving a Creek If a little thing like a creek gets in the way of the state's highway building program, there's only one thing to do—move the creek. That's exactly what was done in the case of Calabasas creek, which once ran along the state highway for some distance between Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, protected by a white fence. To permit widening of the road, the state had the creek moved. A new ditch, 12 feet wide, was dug by crews under N. M. Bail, a distance of half mile away to join Campbell creek.
