IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 30, 1881 George C. Freeman has been appointed a Notary Public to reside in Santa Ana. "El Molino," the old Wewen place at San Gabriel, has been sold to Mr. Mayberry of San Francisco for $36,000. Judge Sepulveda and Judge Myrick, the latter of the Supreme Court, spent a few hours in town on Monday, and expressed themselves delighted with the place. Victor Montgomery, Esq., has been appointed general agent for Los Angeles and San Diego counties for Jefferson Davis' book "The rise and fall of the Confederate Government." Allan J. Lawton has decided to take a well earned vacation and will leave for Racine, Wisconsin, and other points east or Monday. We hope the two months which will intervene before his return will be crowded with pleasant incidents. The 8 to 12 Club gave their first party on Friday night of last week. Those who were fortunate enough to be present express themselves as delighted with the initial party. Preaching may be expected Sunday morning by Rev. S. B. King in the Presbyterian church and every Sunday morning hereafter unless otherwise advertised. Rev. M. Brier is also expected to be present and take part in the services tomorrow morning. The question to be discussed at the meeting of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W. on Monday evening is, "Resolved, That the assassination of despots is a crime." Affirmative, Messrs. Alms, Melrose, and Ferguson. Negative, Messrs. Bauer, Guinn, and Sorenson. Preaching may be expected Sunday morning by Rev. S. B. King in the Presbyterian church and every Sunday morning hereafter unless otherwise advertised. Rev. M. Brier is also expected to be present and take part in the services tomorrow morning. The question to be discussed at the meeting of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W. on Monday evening is, "Resolved, That the assassination of despots is a crime." Affirmative, Messrs. Alms, Melrose, and Ferguson. Negative, Messrs. Bauer, Guinn, and Sorenson. Rev. J. A. Emery has gone to San Francisco to attend the Episcopal convention which meets in Trinity church on May 4th. The services at St. Michael's church tomorrow will be conducted by Rev. Hill, who will officiate in the morning and evening at the usual hours. Becoming alarmed at the determination of the Gazette to secure the Branch Normal School at Anaheim, the finance committee "rustled" around lively and succeeded after a mighty effort in getting together the $8000 with which to pay the mortgage which covered the site selected in Los Angeles. For the first time, we believe, Decoration day (May 30th) will be observed in Anaheim. There are several Union soldiers interred in the cemetery at this place, and the Santa Ana Post of the G. A. R. assisted by the ex-soldiers living in this vicinity, will conform to the beautiful custom in vogue all over the Union of decorating the graves of soldiers with flowers and wreaths. Chas. A. Norman had his thumb torn off at the first joint on last Friday. He was leading a horse, the rope being wrapped around his hand. The animal became fractious and pulled back with the result stated. A physician was called who sewed on the detached piece of thumb (it was practically detached being only held by a strip of skin) and the member will probably soon be as well as ever. New York, April 17, 1881—The marriage of Whitelaw Reid to the daughter of D. O. Mills took place tonight at 8:30 at the residence of the bride's father, Fifth avenue. The ceremony was followed by a reception at which a large number of distinguished guests were present. The presents were numerous and costly, the bride receiving five million dollars as her dowry. The newly married couple will sail the latter part of the week for Europe. Mr. L. Pelanconi has given the editor a sample of orange brandy of his own manufacture. But tells us that as brandy it is not entirely a success, as it lacks both body and flavor and is strongly impregnated with fusil oil. We have no doubt however, that with age and the elimination of the oil a pleasant beverage may be made of it. The orange amere of France is described as a delicious beverage, its cost only preventing it from coming into general use. The time will yet come when the wind falls and surplus oranges will be utilized in making wine. Albert Rimpau, who, though so long a resident of Los Angeles, is looked upon by our people as being one of themselves, was united in marriage on Monday evening to Miss Woodworth, one of the fairest of all the fair ladies of Los Angeles. If the Albert Rimpau, who, though so long a resident of Los Angeles, is looked upon by our people as being one of themselves, was united in marriage on Monday evening to Miss Woodworth, one of the fairest of all the fair ladies of Los Angeles. If the union proves one-half as happy as all the friends of the young couple wish, there will not be a happier pair in all christendom. A city paper thus speaks of the ceremony: "A large and brilliant company last night attended the marriage of Albert Rimpau and Miss Rosie Woodworth of this city. The services were conducted at the Cathedral on Main street by Rev. Father McNamee. The attendants of the bridal party consisted of Mr. Clarence Rhodes, Miss Woodworth, sister of the bride; Joe Woodworth and Miss Claudina Rimpau, Ed. Rimpau and Miss Matilda Rimpau." The following is an extract from the preceedings of the Board of Town Trustees at their meeting on Wednesday. The Board met in accordance with the requirements of Section 4 of the charter and canvassed the votes cast at the lection on Monday, the 25 inst with the following results: Total number of votes cast 138.

Treasurer, Theodore Rimpau. Marshal, R. M. Barham. Justice, Alexander Bailey. Mr. E. A. Saxton introduced a resolution to establish the width of sidewalks and to encourage the planting of trees on the outer edge of such sidewalks. It provides as an incentive and inducement to the planting of trees that, "all persons planting and protecting such trees shall be entitled to a remission of town taxes on an amount equal to three dollars for each tree so planted each year for three years from the time of such planting. The new board will meet on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock and effect an organization. The regular monthly meeting will be held on next Wednesday at 3 o'clock at 3 P.M. At the election last year 110 votes were cast—28 less than this year. Henry Heter of Placentia died after a lingering illness. He was age earliest settlement all. Interment ceremony.

These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 3, 1906 Mrs. Strodthoff on Tuesday awarded contract to C. Schindler for the erection of a $3000 residence on North Lemon street. Peter J. Weisel and Gerald Sandilands have formed a partnership in the automobile business and will handle the Moline machine. Miss Bertha Bennerscheidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bennerscheidt, is lying seriously ill of pneumonia at her home in West Anaheim. Miss Rosie Hessel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hessel, and Robert Smith of Los Angeles, were married on Wednesday, April 25th at St. Joseph church in that city. Mr. Vogel of Los Angeles came down on Sunday in his automobile with his chauffeur, accompanied by Miss McKee and Miss Adella Dotter and spent the day with Mrs. Konig. Miss Anna Franzel and Frank Higelee were married in the Catholic church, by Rev. Father Dubble on Saturday. In the evening the newly-wedded couple entertained a number of friends at their home in the West end. Herman Kruger was in town from Los Alamitos on Saturday. He states that during the fifteen years of his residence in this section he never saw the country looking so well as it appears this season. Don Juan de la Guerra was in town from Peralta on Saturday. Don Juan was formerly a resident of San Francisco, which he knows very well, and regrets to learn of the horror which almost wiped it out of existence. Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital Washington, D.C.-The intensely human side of President Hoover's nature is emphasized by his invitation to Bryan Untiedt to pass a whole day and be an overnight guest at the White House. Bryan is the 13-year-old hero who earned nation-wide praise for his efforts to save the lives of his little brother and 24 other children who were caught in a stalled school bus near Lamar, Colo. The President has paid the little fellow the additional honor of letting him name the time, offering to wait until he is fully recovered from the effect of freezing his hands and feet while keeping the other children active and warm. Those who view the nation's chief as a cold, unemotional being will get a new slant on him by this incident. Other Presidents have had the happy faculty of dramatizing their public acts, becoming popular figures in the public mind. Mr. Hoover preserves his dignity at all times except when it concerns children. The little ones "see through him" and take to him instantly. They appreciate his real sympathy and understanding and five minutes after meeting him are on terms of cordiality with him. Few presidents have been draped with the austerity that Mr. Hoover is supposed to have. That he is so cool and devoid of outward signs of worry can be charged to the fact that since his early manhood the Chief has always been in the thick of impossibilities, most often in foreign lands where the highest "politics" had to be played to get people of different upbringings to come around to his way of doing. It is beginning to seep through to the public consciousness that Mr. Hoover's coolness is almost entirely of the head and not of the heart as evidenced in his offer to fraternize with little Bryan for a whole day. Those who have met the President since his return from the Caribbean are impressed by his buoyancy of step, showing that he is in the right place. Herman Kruger was in town from Los Alamitos on Saturday. He states that during the fifteen years of his residence in this section he never saw the country looking so well as it appears this season. Don Juan de la Guerra was in town from Peralta on Saturday. Don Juan was formerly a resident of San Francisco, which he knows very well, and regrets to learn of the horror which almost wiped it out of existence. Mr. Dickel on Monday received a letter from his son, Ted, who is one of Co. E's buglers. Ted writes that the boys are doing well, and that Frank Tausch has been honored by promotion to be color sergeant of the regiment. Wallop Bros. have installed an electric steelcut coffee mill, and will make a specialty of fine coffees. This popular firm carries one of the best stocks of groceries and staple goods in the city and solicit an inspection of the same by the purchasing public. Assemblyman Amerige of Fullerton has received a dispatch from Senator Ralston asking if he favored a special session of the legislature to take steps for the relief of the situation presenting itself in San Francisco. Amerige replied that he personally favored a special session. Anaheim offered to care for fifty refugees from San Francisco, but Los Angeles sends word that that city will care for all who come south. This city's contribution to the San Francisco fire sufferers stands at about $1000 in cash and a carload of supplies. The Mother Colony stands ready to duplicate the charitable offering if it be necessary. Capt. Victor Schumacher tendered his services to Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco, the afternoon of the day of the quake. Capt. Schumacher was a lieutenant of police in Chicago during the anarchist riots a number of years ago, and his experiences as an officer qualify him for duty in the stricken northern city. He exerted much energy to go north, even going to Los Angeles to confer with Gen. Wankowski. He has received no reply from the north, but his patriotic action calls for universal commendation among his friends here, whose name is legion. W. A. Frantz and Otto Hussman have gone into the poultry business extensively and have yards in rear of the Spake & McCollum property on Center street. They have 4000 birds, large and small and expect at no distant day to have 2000 laying hens. They have just taken a hatch of 175 young chicks from the incubator and yesterday started the incubator again with 300 eggs. The new arrivals seem to be doing fine. The breeds are Barred Rocks, Orphington, Light Brahma, Black Minorcas and other fancy fowl. They will raise birds for the Los Angeles market and will in a few weeks have several hundred ready for shipment. Henry Hetebrink, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Placentia, died at his residence in that place on Friday evening after a lingering illness due to a complication of internal disorders. He was aged 71 years. He had lived in Placentia since the Henry Hetebrink, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Placentia, died at his residence in that place on Friday evening after a lingering illness due to a complication of internal disorders. He was aged 71 years. He had lived in Placentia since the earliest settlement of that section and was highly esteemed by all. Interment occurred on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim cemetery. Burial services were conducted by Rev. White of Fullerton. Mr. Hetebrink's death causes sincere regret on the part of all. He suffered the death of his son, Richard, suddenly some months ago which it is thought hastened his death. He leaves a wife, family of grown-up children to mourn his end. Mrs. Zeus and her daughter, Miss Lillie Zeus, arrived from San Francisco on Thursday evening, their residence having been destroyed by the fire which swept the city. Mrs. Zeus in relating her experiences said their house, on Pine street, between Mason and Taylor, rocked violently during the seismic disturbance, making it imperative for her and her family to beat a hasty retreat. Chimneys fell throughout the district and plaster was loosened from ceilings. After remaining in the house until late in the afternoon, and seeing the fire approaching in two directions, Mrs. Zeus with her family went to Mill valley. While at Oakland on Wednesday she was called upon by Capt. Stern and Sergeant Yungbluth of Co. E., who called to pay their respects. Mrs. Zeus is comfortably situated in her former residence and is glad to be able to return to Anaheim. A cablegram was received on Thursday by Peter J. Weisel, announcing the death at Bonn, near Cologne, Germany, the preceding day, of his father, Peter Weisel, of this city. The body will arrive in New York May 7th. Peter Weisel left on Sunday for New York to meet his father and two sisters, who accompanied Mr. Weisel on his trip to Germany. Some weeks age he suffered a stroke of paralysis. He was aged 74. Mr. Weisel came to Anaheim with his family some fifteen years ago. He erected a large two-story residence on Walnut street which he afterwards sold and built in town. He was a man of large wealth owning extensive property interests here and in Milwaukee. He was held in high esteem by those with whom he came in contact, and had friends on all sides. His death will be regretted. He leaves a wife and family of grown-up children to mourn his loss. Aches and PAINS! When you take Bayer Aspirin you are sure of two things.

It is beginning to the public consciousness' coolness is all the head and not of enforced in his offer to the Bryan for a whole met the President from the Caribbean are buoyancy of step, in the wish of it. A sharp cut in the number of allen arrivals was shown by the government figures for February. During that month a total of only 3147 men immigrants, intending to reside here permanently, was uncovered. This figure is the smallest for 120 years, beyond which records of the Labor Department do not extend. February's low total appears even lower when compared with the number admitted in June, 1913, when 176,261 aliens arrived, the greatest number ever to come here in a single month. Stricter enforcement of the immigration laws is credited with the decrease. Good roads, making shopping at chain stores easier for farmers, have not materially affected the sales by the big mail order houses, according to a government survey. The depression naturally has cut sales but the condition has been general. The establishment of retail outlets by the mail order houses has helped maintain their volume, the report indicates, as customers send for goods when unable to find them on the shelves of the local branch. Advertised as Doctor Is Held On Bail Charles Kent, a Los Angeles man who was charged with advertising himself as a doctor in treating the sick, but who styled himself as a health teacher with connection with the Scientific Life Society of Los Angeles, was arrested in Santa Ana, taken to the county jail and then released after giving bond for $300. He was charged with violating the state medical law. A branch of the society has been conducted in Santa Ana, where Inspector William Bryne of the State Medical Board made the arrest, the specific charge being use of the prefix "Dr." in advertising, when not licensed by the medical board. Kent expressed surprise at his arrest, saying he had been practicing in Los Angeles for twelve years without being disturbed, and adding that he was engaged in a philanthropic venture for the good of humanity, and was making no profit from it. Three Recent Deals In Citrus Property Three recent realty deals in Orange county are reported by Thomas S. Green, of Orange, who also reports improved demand for citrus property. The fourteen-acre citrus grove of Edwin F. Bandick, located on the State highway near Katella, was sold in part to H. J. Sawyer and Fred A. Leonard, the latter of Fairbury, Neb. Sawyer purchased six acres and Leonard acquired eight. Leonard plans to move here about May 1, next, with his family. He will build a home on the property. Following sale of his property in Orange, Bandick purchased twenty-three acres of young trees in the El Toro district belonging to E. L. Thomas. Bandick plans to build a home there. The third deal handled by Green involved purchase by Thomas of forty acres of vacant land near Hemet, owned by F. M. Gulick, H. L. Haynes and J. R. Porter. Thomas intends to plant twenty acres to oranges this spring and eventually will set it all to citrus, it was reported. Bather Makes Mistake, Loses His Clothes When Joe Szarfinski, professional golfer and manager of the Orange County Golf club, at Newport Beach, took a shower bath the other evening, he made one mistake. He did not take the bath with his clothes on. He reported to the sheriff's that he was taking a shower at the club, when two bandits pushed back the curtain, pointed an automatic pistol at him and made a demand for his money. Joe stood under the falling water while the bandit went through his trousers, hanging just outside the shower. After taking $46 the bandit thanked Szarfinsky, and remarked that "ought to keep us going for a while," and walked out of the building. Szarfinski, minus his clothes, gave chase but encountered the other bandit outside the building, who halted him. The men then made their escape over a hill to a car on the highway below the golf club. met the President from the Caribbean are buoyancy of step in the pink of conting to the White twenty-five pounds may have had his face do not give of his fitness.

Speedsters Can Guess On Justice’s Penalty While Justice K. E. Morrison, of Santa Ana, offers to give auto speedsters a guess on what the penalty will be when they get into his court, he has not said that such a guess will be used as a basis in fixing the penalty. Speedsters, therefore, may guess as high as they desire, and may be comforted by getting a lower penalty. A campaign is on in Santa Ana and over Orange county to enforce speed laws. In the old days Justice Morrison made a rule that fifty-mile speeders must go to jail. Then the Motor Vehicle Department quit arresting speeders, who, for a long while, have not been molested. So when the highway patrol announced that speeders will henceforth be arrested Justice Morrison issued a statement of warning to the public, saying he felt motorists should be notified of the new policy, inasmuch as they have been unmolested for so long. When questioned regarding his former fifty-mile rule, Justice Morrison refused to commit himself. "They'll have to guess at that," he said. Painters Are Told of Four New Products Ernie Dubois, local representative of the National Lead Co., was host. Thursday evening to 42 master-painters from over Orange county, at a dinner served at the Anaheim Elks' clubhouse. It was a one of a series of dinners which the company is holding. Mr. Dubois having attended one the evening before in San Diego. Horace L. Pickett, director of sales promotion of the company, came from his headquarters in San Francisco, and spoke on four new products which the company is placing on the market. The new products were demonstrated by William D. Herman, and a motion picture showed methods of obtaining work, making estimates, choosing materials and the application of the products. The title of the picture was "One Painter to Another." Guests at the dinner were from Anaheim, Fullerton, Norwalk and Brea, with several special guests from Santa Ana.
