IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History In Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Or 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 23, 1885 It is inevitable that the thousands of acres of fertile uncultivated land about Anaheim will be speedily bought and settled upon. The systematic effort now being made to force Anaheim upon the attention of immigrants will undoubtedly divert many of them hither. The trouble heretofore has been the difficulty of getting the homeseeker to come here and view the land and see what those who had preceded him had accomplished. If this can be accomplished—if the intending settler will turn a deaf ear to the blandishments and misrepresentations of those agents who are interested in securing the settlement of rival portions of the county, and come here and see what we have to offer him, there is little fear of his searching further. Our lands are cheaper than in any other part of the county. They are of marvelous fertility; it is impossible that any tree or vine could grow more luxuriantly than here. The climate is unexcelled. The social advantages are numerous. In fact there is no reason why anyone should hesitate to settle here, and many reasons why the intending settler should give Anaheim the preference. The sale of thirty acres of land in North Anaheim owned by Mr. D. Strodthoff, has been made by the Immigration Association. The purchaser is Mr. J. Haylor, who arrived from Nebraska a few days ago. Of the 30 acres, 26 are in vines three years old. The consideration was $7,500, Mr. Strodthoff last. One mounted a high horse of belligerency on Sunday afternoon which resulted in a determination to abjure civilized society. A companion was induced to accompany her and thus far attempts to follow their trail have been unsuccessful. The house formerly occupied by Col. Harrison has been leased by Mr. Frank Ey who will remove his tonsorial establishment thither on June 1st. The entire first floor of the brick building adjoining the Planter's hotel has been least by A. H. Krug who will shortly open a drug store therein. The San Jose Times Mercury is informed by private letter that Hon. Charles Maclay has sold his San Fernando rancho in this county, containing 22,000 acres for $400,000 and that after meeting all his liabilities he will have remaining the snug fortune of $370,000. Mail matter for Long Beach must be addressed "via Wilmington," as the Beach has not a postoffice as yet, and so it is not in itself sufficient address for the postal department to send matter to it. Attention to this will save your letters from being detained "for want of sufficient address." Complaints have been made of a wanton destruction of shrubs and flowers in the cemetery grounds by Sheriff Lacy at 10 o'clock moved Frank Skelley minister from the County the county jail.

The Association has sold to Mr. W. Wickeren twenty acres of Mr. John Goodale near Garden Grove. Consideration $3,000. Some weeks ago Mr. Marshall Haight sent through the mails to Saginaw, Mich., three magnificent oranges done up in a cigar box. He was notified the other day of the receipt of the box—and one orange. The other two had been extracted en route, probably by some newly-appointed mail agent who quenched the hunger and thirst popularly ascribed to the members of the dominant party, by devouring the fruit. Major Toler has secured a party of about fifty Quakers, and they will come to California with him next November. It is uncertain where they will locate, but as a desirable tract of land has not been found in this county it is probable that they will settle somewhere in the San Joaquin Valley. The tasty and commodious residence of Mr. John Hartung is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in a few weeks. Two of the girls at the Indian school failed to materialize on Monday morning Mail matter for Long Beach must be addressed "via Wilmington," as the Beach has not a postoffice as yet, and so it is not in itself sufficient address for the postal department to send matter to it. Attention to this will save your letters from being detained "for want of sufficient address." Complaints have been made of a wanton destruction of shrubs and flowers in the cemetery grounds by thoughtless persons or by persons of ill intent. Such acts cannot be too strongly denounced, and visitors should respect the feelings of others, even if they have no personalties of respect for the place.

This was done to protect the prisoner's life from vengeance of a party of lynchers who were said to be gathering to hang Skelley. Mrs. Skelley was burned to death in a gasoline explosion at her home in Westminster some days ago. It was at first supposed to be an accident, but later rumors that Skelley had saturated her with gasoline and set her alire came to the coroner's office. Skelley was arrested after the inquest and charged with murder. He was himself badly burned by gasoline. He denies the charge.
