IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 22, 1882 One of the plagues of Southern California at this season of the year is the affliction of horse-thieves. Nothing is more certain then that these gentry will make their baneful presence felt as soon as the hills, valleys and canyons are covered with verdure enough to sustain the stock while being driven across the line. It is evident that there is a band of thieves plying their vocation at the present time. Their mode of operations, which is well known, is to steal what horses they can from different parts of the country and drive them to some secret and almost inaccessible canyon in the mountains of San Bernardino county, and then keep them until they have got together a band sufficiently large to take to Sonora and there sell them. That such a band is now being formed there is ample evidence. On the night of the 10th two bay horses, both five years old, were stolen from the farm of Henry Rogers near town. They were traced to Burruel Point, and there the trail was lost. They were evidently driven into the mountains. A reward of $50 is offered for their return. A few nights ago a horse was stolen from Mr. B. H. Bancroft. A day or two later the horse returned home with a fine new saddle upon his back, for which no one has as yet put in a claim, nor is anyone likely to. Mr. C. A. Norman has also suffered the loss of a horse, and scarcely a day passes during which the town is not visited by one or more in search of stolen stock. Three of Mr. Zeyn's horses disappeared on last Thursday, but from the circumstances connected with their departure it is thought possible they may have strayed away. These depredations have hastened the organization of the Anti-horse Thief Society. Those desiring to become members will find the subscription list at the butcher shop of Mr. C. E. Leonard, and they are requested to bring with them, when they come to sign the roll, a description of their horses, which will be printed and forwarded to all other branches of the society.

Leonard, and they are requested to bring with them, when they come to sign the roll, a description of their horses, which will be printed and forwarded to all other branches of the society. Sixty-one complaints against violators of the Sunday law have been filed in Justice Gannon's court and a similar number have been filed in Justice Bailey's court. These are all Los Angeles cases. The juries in that city having uniformly failed to agree, the complaints are being farmed out among the country justices. No warrants have been issued on any of these complaints, they are held in abeyance until the District Attorney finds an opportunity to attend to them. It is said that the Board of Supervisors at its next meeting will probably indicate to the District Attorney their desire that all further attempts to enforce the Sunday law be postponed for the time being. A convention of citizens was held at the Planters hotel on Tuesday evening to nominate candidates for town offices. The wholesale declinations which followed the two previous conventions, made it necessary to hold a third one and endeavor to nominate a ticket that would stick. Mr. D. W. C. Cowan was called to the chair and Mr. H. Cahen acted as secretary. The following ticket was chosen: Trustees—E. A. Saxton, B. Dreyfus. John P. Zeyn, T. J. F. Boege, R. J. Northam; Clerk, Richard Melrose; Assessor, C. H. Zeyn; Treasurer, G. B. Shaffer; Marshal, F. W. Tyler; Justice of the Peace, Alexander Bailey. The election will be held at the town hall on Monday. The polls will be open from one hour after sunrise until sunset. Sheep shearing is in progress and the clip is said to be remarkably good where the sheep are free from scab. The sheep on the San Joaquin ranch are doing finely. Grass there is good, but very thin on the ground. Visel brothers are on their way to Colorado with 2,200 head of sheep. Huber Zuber and brother are taking 4,500 head of sheep (young ewes) to New Mexico. They bought them in the neighborhood of San Juan Capistrano at prices ranging from $1.90 to $2.25 after shearing. No election was held in Mountain View School District last Saturday, although one was called for the purpose of voting upon the question of raising a tax of $1650 to be expended in building a school house. It was found that the sum was in excess of what the assessed valuation of property in the district would allow, and it is probable that an effort will be made to issue bonds. There was a slight white frost on Monday morning, but not hard enough to injure the most tender plant. In 1864 or 65 there was a severe and injurious frost in this county as late as the middle of May, but with that single exception all the damaging frosts which have occurred here have been in the early part of the month of April.

We may conclude, therefore, that the danger from that source is over for this season. In response to a request made by Mr. C. W. Moores, principal of the public schools, Professor J. W. Redway of Los Angeles has consented to deliver a free lecture in Anaheim on the evening of Thursday, May 4th on the subject, "The End of the Earth." The lecture will be illustrated by twenty-five views, and will be one of the most interesting ever delivered here. A more extended notice of the lecture will be given next week. From Mr. Brainard Smith we learn that the bee-keepers are preparing for the harvest season. The same element of uncertainty enters into the calculations of bee-keepers as into those of grain raisers, consequently it is unsafe to hazard a prediction in regard to the yield of honey this year. But that there will be some crop all agree. We had a call on Wednesday from Mr. H. C. Wiley, who is just in from the California Southern terminus. Tracklaying has been stopped on that road, pending the arrival of a cargo of rails now on the way. The track is laid as far as San Jacinto. The round house built by Mr. Hinde near Anaheim is to be matched by another architectural eccentricity at Pasadena. The Lightfoot brothers of that place are building a triangular house. A new bank has been organized at Santa Ana. It is to be known as the Commercial Bank and among the incorporators are Messrs. Halliday, Bartlett and others of Santa Ana and Mr. E. F. Spence of Los Angeles. Mr. D. K. Williams desires us to announce that he is an independent candidate for marshal, and that he hopes to receive the votes of all his friends. Mrs. J. A. Emery returned from her eastern trip on Monday. Mrs. W. B. Robb also returned from a prolonged visit to the East on Monday. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 25, 1907 The water board on Monday afternoon selected the lot offered by Napoleon Hart on East Center street as a site for the company’s new building. Of the various lots offered the company, the choice narrowed down to three, viz: The Kroeger lot on West Center, Nemetz’s lot at the corner of Emily and Center, and the lot finally selected. Three ballots were taken, the first resulting three votes for the Hart lot, two for Nemetz’s and one for Kroeger’s. The second ballot resulted in four votes for Hart’s lot and two for Nemetz’s. The third made it unanimous for Hart’s lot. The frame building now situated upon the lot will be moved as will those adjoining it on the east, and the entire area will be rebuilt with modern brick structures. Work upon the water office will begin immediately, and Mr. Hart will simultaneously begin the erection of a brick building adjoining it on the east. The price of the lot offered the company is $4,000, and this the citizens have pledged themselves to pay. The chamber of commerce has undertaken the task of raising the $4,000 for purchasing the lot, and hope to raise the amount without delay. Soliciting committees will call upon business men and property owners with that end in view, and it is to be hoped they will receive liberal subscriptions to the cause. Frank Shanley, A. Nagel, J. B. Rea, C. O. Rust, and H. A. Dickel have been named on this committee. A Los Angeles paper referring to the undoubted influence of unfavorable weather upon the mind, say a Chicago alienist recently attributed an epidemic of murders in that city to a raw east wind which prevailed with unseemly severity the preceding twenty-four hours. It also quotes in support of its theory the old English aphorism “When the wind's in the East." Tis not good for Pioneer Home Is Damaged by Fire. J. J. Dwyer Residence at 406 North West Street Was Partially Destroyed Pioneers and those interested in objects of pioneer interest in Orange county this week continued to express sorrow over the destruction by fire of large portion of the old Dwyer residence at 406 North West street. Although the house originally was built more than 65 years ago, additions have been added at different times. Fire of unknown origin began early Thursday morning, filling the house full of smoke by 3:30 o'clock. Awakening occupants Mr. and Mrs. George Kiester, who immediately turned in the alarm, Fire Chief R. Nyhoe reported that flames were shooting out from the roof by the time the fire department arrived. The Kiesters were unable explain origin of the fire. Boys house and furniture were covered insurance. Mrs. J. J. Dwyer said that the loss from fire was more than material—was destruction of a portion of a house whose chief value was sentiments. The blaze broke out in the kitchen porch, and destroyed the frame portion of the newer brick front of the house not damaged. Anyway, the people are all willing patronize the charity entertainment to which no admission is charged. GETS GRADE PERMIT City of Newport Beach has been granted authority by the railroad commission to construct Orange street grade across the tracks of Southern Pacific company and Pacific Electric Railway company. A Los Angeles paper referring to the undoubted influence of unfavorable weather upon the mind, say a Chicago alienist recently attributed an epidemic of murders in that city to a raw east wind which prevailed with unseemly severity the preceding twenty-four hours. It also quotes in support of its theory the old English aphorism "When the wind's in the East, 'Tis not good for man or beast." Here in Orange county people used to guard themselves against burglaries and chicken-thefts when the Santa Ana wind blew, not so much on account of this insidious influence of the weather upon the mind as to the other and more common-place fact that the rattling window sash and swaving blinds were taken advantage of to deaden the footfalls of those out late at night with no good purpose in view. This new science is a great thing. At the meeting of the chamber of commerce on Thursday evening matters of importance were discussed, notably the paving of streets in the business sections of the city. About 700 feet frontage still remains to be secured to the petition calling for the paving of Los Angeles and Center streets an da committee was appointed to interview property owners in the district proposed to be paved and secure their consent to the improvement. The committee propose to receive a majority of signers on both streets and to then pass the petition to the city council in the earnest hope that that body will lend its hearty cooperation in accomplishing the street improvements. J. F. Walker, John Resh and Capt. Williams were appointed by the chamber of commerce to solicit subscriptions for a four page write-up of this city to be published in the May number of Pictorial American, to be issued during the Shriners' meeting in Los Angeles next month. Tim Carroll received his touring car on Monday from Weisel and Sandilands and has since been putting it to good use. Tim bought a Maxwell, which is the winner of a long distance, non-stop run, the car having covered 3,000 miles of country roads, traveling night and day until the distance was covered without once stopping the engine. The price paid was $1800 and the machine is a beauty. A number of high school seniors walked to the county park on Friday evening for a two days outing. They carried their blankets with them, and a two-wheeled cart drawn by a single horse carried the provender. The boys returned on Sunday evening, hiking it in from the hills in about three hours. The Sunset Telephone company will on the first of next month remove all tolls for messages between this city and Buena Park, and will also install a new trunk line thither. They announce that the company has in contemplation many improvements and enlargements to the service and that a number of new trunk lines will soon be installed. Carl Pressel, Billy Kretschner and Fritz Martin have returned The Sunset Telephone company will on the first of next month remove all tolls for messages between this city and Buena Park, and will also install a new trunk line thither. They announce that the company has in contemplation many improvements and enlargements to the service and that a number of new trunk lines will soon be installed. Carl Pressel, Billy Kretschner and Fritz Martin have returned from Beatty after an absence of three weeks. They found no employment. Beatty is a town of perhaps 500 inhabitants. There are no mines at that point, but men are at work upon prospect holes, with no ore as yet in sight. Living is high, rooms from $2 to $5 per night and a scant meal costs from 50 cents to $1. Herman Dickel celebrated his birthday on Monday but declares it is an impertinence to ask how old he is. Mr. Dickel is getting younger every day. C. G. Billings this week received a letter from his sister, who resides in North Dakota, stating that 15 feet of snow had banked itself about her home and it was still snowing. Mr. Billings has lived here a year and two months and has not during that time experienced a single day of uncomfortable weather. He has written his sister to come to this section and she has already disposed of considerable of her property with that end in view. A. A. Mills was so unfortunate on Saturday as to have a rib broken by becoming entangled in a chain attached to his cow, which became unruly and started to run, and being violently thrown to the ground. This is Mr. Mills’ second mishap in this line, having been similarly thrown several weeks ago by his horse when he suffered the fracture of a rib. The Independent Fruit company has finished packing navels and is now running on Sweets and St. Michaels, having a weekly output of about five cars. Andy Fuhrberg and Clarence Amberg went to Beatty, Nevada, on Tuesday on a tour of inspection of the country. They will return the latter part of the week. L. E. Miller is engaged in taking an inventory of stock at his hardware establishment. The Ladies Guild of St. Michael’s will meet with Mrs. H. W. Dyer, Thursday, May 1st. Eliminate Stops At Spur Crossings Railroad Commission Limits "No-Stopping" Regulation Allowed Auto Busses In a decision handed down recently the railroad commission defined the conditions under which exempt signs would be authorized permitting auto buses carrying passengers for hire to cross spur railroad tracks without stopping. At the same time it issued a list of crossings meeting these conditions at which the posting of these signs would be authorized. The provision of the law permitting such signs applies only to spur tracks. In its decision the railroad commission stated that the terms "spur tracks" would be construed strictly and that a spur track would be considered as "one with a single connection to a main branch or other track" and that "all crossings, which involve a track connected with a main or operating track at more than one point will be automatically eliminated" from consideration in granting permits for exempt signs. The commission in its decision laid down the general rule that "approval to establish exempt signs should be granted only for locations, where a clear showing has been made that the resulting operation will not affect a perceptible increase in the hazard to any class of traffic. Extreme care should be exercised, especially at the beginning of the application of this law, in passing upon each crossing involved, and to be on the side of safety, doubtful cases should be denied." "Advanced legislation" usually means that the taxpayers must advance more cash. Campaign to Thin Out Deciduous Fruit Crops California deciduous fruit growers this week started their campaign for a determined thinning out of their crops to meet indicated market demands. The campaign, which is under the direction of various growers institutes, with the state department of agriculture cooperating, was outlined in detail for the apricot, plum and other industries at a meeting in Winters, Yolo county. Reports from the state department of agriculture announce that there appears to be a normal set of all deciduous crops, and that the thinning process will have to begin at once if the crops are to be brought to present market requirements. COMFORT for COLICKY BABIES ...THROUGH CASTORIA'S GENTLE REGULATION The best way to prevent colic, doctors say, is to avoid gas in stomach and bowels by keeping the entire intestinal tract open, free from waste. But remember this: a tiny baby's tender little organs cannot stand harsh treatment. They must be gently urged.
