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 C. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 26, 1881 The newly discovered oil well on the Puente ranch, mention of which was made last week, is only eight miles from Anaheim. Mr. P. A. Clark, of Silverado, has opened a real estate office in Los Angeles. He expects to send lots of purchasers for Anaheim property. Mr. F. Conrad returned from San Francisco on Tuesday night, accompanied by his bride. The band welcomed him with a serenade and were hospitably received. Dr. E. L. Cowan has rented the house adjoining the photograph gallery, and will be ready to practice his profession as soon as the dentist tools ordered, arrive. Fred Fischer has returned from Arizona, his complexion having the hue characteristic of sojourners in that sun-kissed land. We are glad to learn of his prosperity. The telegraph office is now open for business at the Anaheim hotel. In the interim following the fire, telegraphic messages were sent and received at the railroad depot. Messrs. Hull and Wilson of Anaheim Landing, were in town yesterday. There are about 2000 sacks of grain and 400 bales of wool in the warehouse yet to be shipped before the Landing closes for the winter season. Mr. T. A. Darling informs us that a Santa Ana wind was making things disagreeable around the depot a few days ago. We have always contended that it was a mistake to place the depot in the locality where it is and this confirms our opinion. Messrs. Hull and Wilson of Anaheim Landing, were in town yesterday.

We have always contended that it was a mistake to place the depot in the locality where it is and this confirms our opinion. The Philharmonic society, projected by Professor Finck, is an assured fact, over ninety members having been secured, mainly by the efforts of Mrs. N. H. Mitchel who made a personal canvas of the place. Prof. Finck will doubtless tell the people next week through the Gazette all that the society proposes to do. As a matter of convenience to the citizens of Anaheim the Bank of Anaheim will pay the county taxes of those who desire to avoid the expense of a trip to Los Angeles for that purpose. Leave your name at the bank, and the cashier will ascertain the amount of the tax, and will forward your money by check. The ball given on Thursday evening by the Union Brass band was attended by a large number of people and as it was after 4 o'clock on Friday morning ere the dancers dispersed, it is safe to infer that everybody had a good time. The hand played superbly, many of the airs being new and composed for the occasion. While Capt Wrede was riding in the vicinity of Orange on Saturday, his saddle turned, and as he was falling to the ground he clasped the horse around the neck. The animal became frightened and kicked the Captain severely injuring him about the face. The heavy fall to the ground in a manner paralyzed him, and he was confined to his bed for several days. Selverado is diserted. Cash Harvey holding the fort solitary and alone. The mines are there yet however and the gold streaked mineral is yet locked in the firm embrace of the everlasting hills. The abandonment does not seem to be caused by a disbelief in the value of the mines, for the owners intend to return to their mountain claims when, in the more prosaic pursuit of agriculture in the valleys they will get together enough lucre to keep them while prosecuting work on shaft and tunnel. We were pleased a few days ago to see our old townsman D. K. Williams, again upon the streets, although requiring the aid and support of his crutch and crooked stick. He is bravely overcoming the effects of his injuries and the prostration of the fever that came well nigh snapping the silver cord. He is now improving rapidly, and if he don't break his back or arm again or get kicked by a mule, he will possibly add quite a number of years to the sixty-five that seem now to rest so lightly upon him. Twenty-five years ago the owner of the primitive mill on the Santa Ana river in the Yorba settlement, stepped upon a nail, and his death was the result. He was buried near his mill and the circumstance had faded from memory, until a few days ago when portions of a coffin and some bones were turned up by the plows and scrapers used in constructing the new Anaheim ditch. Only a few of the bones were found, the balance having probably been sent and received at the railroad depot.

Only a few of the bones were found, the balance having probably been scraped up and dumped over the embankment unnoticed. It appears to be a settled fact that the present mail arrangement will continue. The San Diego postmaster gives vent to his indignation in the following note to the Union. "Please announce that on and after today mails will leave in the morning at 7 a.m. and arrive in the evening at 6 p.m. San Diego must submit awhile longer to the outrage of a delay of 91-2 hours at Los Angeles in the San Francisco mails. Having exerted myself to the utmost to secure better accommodations, I deem it my duty to say that there is no hope for improvement until the California Southern railroad is completed to the crossing of the Southern Pacific. The depredations of horse-thieves are beginning to be heard of from different parts of the country. It is noticeable that these gentry invariably ply their avocation every year about this time. Mr. J. A. Beckett of Garden Grove, had two horses stolen from his stables one night last week; but he found them a few days after. Mr. H. R. Young of the same place, also had two horses stolen, but has not been as fortunate as his neighbor in recovering them. The farmer who has his horses stolen at this time of the year feels his loss doubly, as the active work of the farm is about to commence. A society such as they have at Riverside might be organized with advantage here. It is called the society for the prevention of horse stealing. When a horse is stolen from this part of the country the chances for its recovery are not worth mentioning. It was the same in Riverside until the society mentioned was organized and now, so perfect are their plans that few horse-thieves get away. As an illustration of how effective an agent it is in recovering stolen stock, we quote the following from the Riverside Press: "The Riverside Society for the Prevention of Horse-stealing held its annual meeting for the election of officers on Saturday evening, which meeting resulted in the re-election of last year's officers. On Monday morning the horse of Mr. Alonzo G. Haight having been unaccountably missing since the previous evening, the active force was called out and by noon the animal was recovered." OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only ens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 29, 1906 C. G. Billings has opened a cigar store on Center street near the Odd Fellows hall. Peter Weisel went to Los Angeles the forepart of the week and brought down a four cylinder Moline touring car. Frank Baum has sold to Frank Dauser a lot on Hedwig street. Mr. Dauser will immediately begin the erection of a modern residence. Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. & A. M. elected the following officers on Monday evening to serve during the coming year: C. E. Holcomb, master; W. H. Spake, S. W.; A. L. Porter, J. W.; Isadore Asher, treasurer; Joseph Helmsen, secretary. Surveyors are busy laying out ground for a new two-story brick building to be erected at the corner of Emily and Center streets by the Hammel-& Denker estate of Los Angeles. The building will be 50x90 feet and will have to store rooms on the ground floor, the second story being devoted to offices. Misses Marie and Sophie Rimpau entertained the Miercoles club at progressive whist on Thursday afternoon. The first prize a hand painted cake plate was won by Miss Marie Korn, the second, a powder box also hand painted was won by Mrs. McCollum and the booby was captured by Mrs. Owen. A pleasant time was spent and at a late hour the guests departed. N. Harts new brick block is approaching completion and will be ready for occupancy the middle of the coming month.

A pleasant time was spent and at a late hour the guests departed. N. Harts new brick block is approaching completion and will be ready for occupancy the middle of the coming month. Two occupants of the building will be besides W. A. Wallace in part of the building already completed. Richard Fischle and Herr Huenemeyer with a candy kitchen and restaurant respectively. The public library will also be located in the candy store. Eighty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain was measured by Mr. Dickel's gauge for showers during the week. This is the first rainfall of the year. No rain has been needed hitherto, in fact earlier rain would have done harm to beets, chilis and other crops not yet harvested. Beets are all in and the Chili crop will all be harvested in another fortnight. The past season has been one of unusual plenty to farmers and the new season gives every promise of being a record breaker. The best years we have had have been those in which no rain fell until Thanksgiving time. Ground was broken on Monday for a two-story laundry building to be erected on Lemon street north of the planing mill. The structure will be 30x60 and will be equipped with the latest steam laundry plant. The cost will exceed $5000. The officers and directors of the new enterprise are: T. S. Grinshaw, president; P. Nicolas, vice-president; J. Stroka, secretary and treasurer; J. T. Shea, manager. The woodwork will be in charge of contractor Boney and C. Schindler will do the brickwork. The building is expected to be ready for occupancy by the first of the year. Mine Host Zeigler of the Commercial hotel will serve a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day which will be a rare treat to patrons of the hotel as well as the public generally. Those wishing a feast of good things should be guests of this famous hostelry for today's dinner. Following is the bill-of-fare: Thanksgiving dinner at Commercial hotel: soup, consomme with vermicalli, olives, lettuce, celery—Entree, cold beef tongue, pans piquant—Roast, young turkey with cranberry sauce, prime ribs of beef—vegetables, green peas, spinach, mashed potatoes—Desert, rice and tapico pudding, chocolate and cream pie—coffee, beer and wine will be served—Price 50 cents. With three men on bases in the first half of the ninth, two outs and the score 5 to 4 in favor of the Oil Wells, Littlepage cracked out a stinger to eight and the crowd of foreign rooters went wild. Head pick it up and threw to Isbell retiring the side and ending the game. The initial game of the winter was interesting from start to finish, the Oil Wells taking the lead and being closely pressed by the Los Angeles Pacifics. In the seventh the foreigners had three men on bases and a line drive meant disaster, but Johnson steadied down, struck two men out and the third was an easy out at first. Johnson struck out thirteen men during the game, he was in fine form, but in the absence of Meats, his regular catcher had to ease up a bit during the game which accounts for the eleven hits against him. outs and the score 5 to 4 in favor of the Oil Wells, Littlepage cracked out a stinger to right and the crowd of foreign rooters went wild.

Manage Joe Burke says the Oil Wells will be admitted to the Southern California league and will henceforth be known as the Anaheim Oil Wells. At the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. J. Strodthoff, corner of Sycamore and Lemon streets, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Fred A. Yungbluth, the well-known merchant tailor was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Adella Strodthoff. Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church officiated. The bride was attended by Mrs. Otto Strodthoff of Los Angeles and Otto Strodthoff was groomssman. Only the immediate friends of the high contracting couple were present and at conclusion of the ceremony hearty congratulations were extended bride and groom. The wedding took place in the front parlor which was beautifully decorated with smilax, orange blossoms and cut flowers. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was served to which the guests sat down in the handsomely appointed dining room. Among those present were Mrs. Strodthoff, mother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Strodthoff, Miss Bessie Schubert, Miss Poldie Heimann, Miss Wilson, Miss Melanie Cahen of Los Angeles, Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Theresa Fay, Miss Alice Robinson, Miss Hettie Weisel, Gus and Hugo Strodthoff, Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Beebe and others. The happy couple took the evening train for Los Angeles and will spend their honeymoon in Santa Barbara. On their return they will be at home in their new residence, corner of Lemon and Adele streets. The bridal party took autos and proceeded to Benedict where bride and groom boarded an electric car for Los Angeles. A brief honeymoon will be spent at Santa Barbara and other places. The bride is one of the loveliest of the younger society set and has many friends and admirers among those who have the pleasure of her acquaintance. The groom is one of our best and most public spirited citizens and has the congratulations of all upon winning such a beautiful and admirable bride. great traveler. In a most thorough manner this man of many experiences retold how Jesus Christ was the Messiah of the Jews, long prophesied in Scripture. Then Paul settled down to make the most of his opportunities: First, he could gospelize as the guard was changed every few hours. During the two years that followed Paul wrote four letters that are still helping mankind; Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. Try and find time to read each of these during the week. While in Rome some years ago the writer read the five letters which Paul wrote while in the midst of his two imprisonments in that city. In one of these epistles the author reveals at least one of his life secrets: "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me," Philippians, 4:13, which is the Golden Text for today. CALLS UP AFTER 20 YEARS A telephone call from Baltimore to Waterville, Me., recently brought a seafaring son in touch with his parents for the first time in twenty years. It was made by Howard R. Pickering, now a pay clerk of the Coast Guard. Pickering ran away to sea two decades ago and had not been in touch with his family since that time. For a man who was supposed to be a pacifist, Ramsay MacDonald is putting up a pretty good fight.
