Rotary Club Hears About Water Pumps The members of the Anaheim Rotary Club enjoyed a talk by one of the members who told of the problems confronting his particular type of business when John Bovee of the Standard Pumps works explained the procedure necessary for a rancher to go through when he planned the sinking of a water well. The various types of pumping equipment that can be used in such a venture were explained by Bovee in which he stated that a person who thinks the digging of a lowly water well is not without its ramifications should try it. "Each manufacturer of pumping equipment has his own particular reason for the use of his particular equipment and to the man who does not know and wants to dig the well it is an education which before he finishes, should give him a degree in the arts of mechanical engineering, hydro-dynamics, electrical engineering and possibly make a lawyer of him," said Bovee, who then launched into the problems that must be faced and overcame before a successful well can be dug. The musical program consisted of some tenor solos by G. W. Bassett of Santa Ana, whose silvery voice proved a treat for those attending. As usual K. B. Rigby presided over the meeting and Tom McFadden passed the oil can for lubrication.

PATHFINDER Recalls Old Days REMINISCES ORANGE COUNTY FORMED IN '89 In the fall of 1929 Orange County was formed, having been segregated from Los Angeles county, which was large and unwieldy. Many people here believed this section had not been receiving its just share of public improvements. Santa Ana and the southern end of the county were in favor of division, while the northern end were in great part opposed to the measure. An election was called and the contest was spirited. The Gazette favored division for good reasons, and some taxpayers became angry at the attitude of the paper. Some old timers came in and cancelled their subscription and even threatened a boycott. After Orange county was formed its benefits were plainly seen and all the old timers come back, renewed their subscription and were better friends than ever. The division was a wise thing to do, and after setting itself up as a county of its own, business enterprises went humming along. Had the measure failed and had this section still remained within the confines of Los Angeles county, what a load of debt would have been Anaheim Scout In Delegation Going Washington, D.C.

The division was a wise thing to do, and after setting itself up as a county of its own, business enterprises went humming along. Had the measure failed and had this section still remained within the confines of Los Angeles county, what a load of debt would have been piled up against the taxpayers! BOLD HOLDUP IN 1909 The night of December 18, 1900, several men were sitting around the stove in a rear room of the late Napoleon Hart's wine room of West Center street, talking about the wind and the weather and the news of the day, and occasionally would discuss a hot sling. It was about 8:45 in the evening, when suddenly the front door was swung open and in lightly tripped three men, with a gun in each band—"stick 'em up"—came the command. The men lined up and one of the trio who was as cool as a cucumber went through the pockets of the victims. The job consumed about five minutes; Six hundred dollars and three watches were taken, the proprietor contributing $300, a young man, who was preparing to go back East, who had just entered while the hold up was going on, was relieved of $200 in gold and the others in the party contributed balance. That evening a lodge meeting had been held in town and after the meeting a hundred men assembled after learning of the bold hold up. Everybody was excited, but the bandits had departed. About a month later the same men came back and robbed another wine room, and later held up the bank at Olive. It so happened that a member of the gang came from a town in the southern end of the county. He contracted tuberculosis and made a deathbed confession. The other two men who were professionals, were later captured in a northern city.

HIRED HAND MURDERS COUPLE In August, 1887, Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock of Gagden Grove were brutally murdered in their 20-acre ranch in the southwest district. A man, named Anschlang, came to their premises and wanted to buy their property. Through some means, he acquired possession of the deed to the ranch which he later recorded. One night when Mr. Hitchcock was out in his barn, attending to some chores, Anschlang came and struck him over the head with an axe and killed him. Then Anschlang went to the house where Mrs. Hitchcock was preparing the evening meal and he killed her with the same axe. The bodies were burried in a shallow grave in the Eucalyptus grove on the premises. Anschlang took possession of the premises and while living there, he employed a stranger who had come along. When neighbors inquired as to where the Hitchcocks were, Anschlang told them that they had gone on a visit. The neighbors, however became suspicious and started an investigation...which lead to the discovery of the bodies buried in the shallow grave.

July Building Permits Lower In compiling the building permits taken out during the month of July, Building Inspector R.
