PATHFINDER Recalls Old Days REMINISCES INDIANS WORK —AND FIGHT When wine making was in full blast here in the early days three or four hundred Indians would come here from the Pala reservation to pick the grapes and help in the manufacture of wine whiff was the leading industry. When the week's work was done the Indians would celebrate. They would gather at three or four central points and would imbibe freely of wine an dengage in games of chance for money. Horse racing was a side line and much fun and merriment was evidenced here and roundabout. Of course, Indians would fight when intoxicated and some of them were past masters in throwing a knife. To see a dead Indian on Monday morning laying by the road side would not create much comment and nobody knew what a coroner looked like. The Indians in great part were peaceful but there were bad hombres among them and if they bit the dust it was accepted as a matter of course by the authorities and they let it go at that. One time a dead Indian was found on Olive street, near Center, guarded by his faithful shepherd dog and the town marshal had to kill the dog before he could remove the body. CITY EMPLOYEE WAS KILLED SAT. IN ATTEMPT TO CROSS HIGHWAY Otto Matz, of Street Dept. Struck By Car Driven By Man From Grange Automobile accidents again struck at Anaheim last Saturday when Otto Matz, 55, an employee of the city was killed as he attempted to cross Manchester avenue after he stopped his car to ascertain just where he was and to obtain some cigarettes. Matz had left his housekeeper in the car while he went on the errand. While he was gone she fell asleep. Awakening sometime later, and missing Matz, went to the Norwalk sheriff's substation and reported him as missing, only to learn that deputy sheriff's had taken charge of the body sometime earlier. She reported they were driving home from Los Angeles when the Anaheim Winner At Lights Tournament Anaheim won first prize in the organization division at the Tournament of Lights held at Newport Beach. The prize was a beautiful cup. The float represented a large waterfall well lighted, and attracted considerable attention. It was made by the Chamber of Commerce with a committee composed of Fred Robins, T. Cushman, A. Ingram and Chas. Pearson. These gentlemen are to be complimented on the idea they presented and the way in which it was presented. (Ed. Note: Our attention was called to the fact that last week we had been misinformed regarding the results of the awards and we are glad to correct the above. The committee of the Chamber of Commerce worked hard to enter a float that would bring Anaheim the glory. The cup for first prize is now in the possession of the Chamber of Commerce.) JOHN BOHNE EFFICIENT OFFICER John Bohne in the early days was the town marshal. He was a fearless officer and had a good record. He had to deal at times with hard characters who would grift in. The town jail was located on Cypress street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets and sometimes he had the jail full, the bastile consisting of two rooms. Anyway John always got his man. Among his duties the marshal also had to keep the street lights burning which consisted of coal oil lamps erected on poles on the principal street intersections; there were six or eight of them. Sometimes when the marshal was busy with his police duties he would forget to light the lamps and sometimes when he did turn on the juice he perchance sometimes would forget to turn off the lights even though the sun was shining. And one night an Indian came within an ace of killing him with a hatchet. But John was rought and ready and always came out on top, and never fired a shot in his life. MADAME MODJESKA BUILDS HERE The late Madame Modjeska, talented Polish actress, was no doubt the greatest tragedienne in her day years ago. Modjeska built a cozy mountain home in the upper Santiago canyon, east of this city, where she and her husband the late Count Bozenta spent their time in seeking rest and repose from her arduous histrionic labors. The great actress was a dear friend of the late Mrs. August Langenberger, and often was her guest at her palatial home on North Lemon street. While visiting here Modjeska took great delight in riding around with Mabel Langenberger in her two wheel cart drawn by a pretty Sheiland pony. Matz had left his house-keeper in the car while he went on the errand. While he was gone she fell asleep. Awakening sometime later, and missing Matz, went to the Norwalk sheriff's substation and reported him as missing, only to learn that deputy sheriff's had taken charge of the body sometime earlier. She reported they were driving home from Los Angeles when the car was stopped at the side of the road and Matz told her he was going across the road for a package of cigarets. She went back to sleep. In the meantime he procured the cigarettes and was starting back across the road to the car when he was struck by the Mansur machine. Mansur was not held. Matz was a native of Wisconsin, but had lived in California for a number of years. The body was taken to the Hartzler Funeral home at Norwalk, where it will be held, pending an inquest after which it will be turned over to the Hilgenfeld Funeral home, at Anaheim for funeral services. The deceased is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Gus Suring of Suring, Wis., and Mrs. Caroline Johnson of Anaheim; three brothers, Albert and Emil Matz, both of Maple Creek, Wis., and Herman Matz of New London, Wis. Matz had been an employee of the city for the past 13 years. He was struck by a car driven by Vernon Mansur, Orange. Mansur was not held. Attack Attempt Foiled by Girl A tall thin dark man, believed to have been a Mexican crawled through the window at the home of Pedro Calvo, 212½ Romneya Drive last Thursday night, where it is said he attempted to attack an eleven year old girl, Nellie Calvo, who was alone with her brothers and sisters. The man opened the window and gagged the girl. She squirmed around and managed to release the gag, and when she started screaming, attracting the neighbors the man made his getaway. The girl stated she had never seen the man before, and a very few clues were left upon which LIONS CLUB HERE TO ENTERTAIN COUNCIL The meeting of the Anaheim Lions Club last Friday was given over pretty much to making plans for the meeting of the County Council to be held here on September 16. The group will be entertained at the park, and invitations urge that the visitors come to Anaheim about 4:30 to permit the sports to be completed before the supper hours. The meeting last Friday was addressed by Dean T. Smith, public relations man of the telephone company who was introduced by Floyd Snyder. Smith told of the progress of the telephone, stating there were some 500,000 phones in use in Southern California. An invitation to visit the Lions Club at Corona was issued by Warren Ashleigh, formerly park superintendent here. Seek Driver of Hit-Run Auto Members of the California Highway Patrol are seeking the driver of a hit-and-run automobile, which on August 27, caused a car driven by Alfred E. Pellegrin, 48, 875 South Citron street, Anaheim, to run off the road, seriously injuring Pellegrin. Any witnesses to the crime were asked to communicate with the state police. Buena Park C. C. Planning Parade CACTUS LAND IS RECLAIMED In the early 80's all the area between this city and the Santa Ana river to the east was a cactus patch six feet high. This land to the extent of several hundred acres was reclaimed by the Wagner Brothers. They planted their acreage to potatoes, which at that time brought $5 per 100 pounds. There was a ready sale for the potatoes in Chicago. Gus Hansen also planted a large acreage in the West section to potatoes and reaped a harvest. The market held firm for several years and then declined. Later this area was devoted to sugar beets and then the raising of oranges claimed the attention of the farmers and the citrus industry has grown wonderfully until today, when this section claims to be the home of the valencia orange, the soil here being adapted to that variety of fruit. Ten years ago good orange groves netted the owners a thousand dollars per acre net. USED STRAW FOR PAVING In the early days before street paving was ever thought of, and heavy rains came, Center street between Lemon and Los Angeles was a muddy highway. One day some one with an ingenious mind filled the center of the road with straw in order that wagons could more easily get through. One time after the straw got dry a drive last Thursday night, where it said he attempted to attack an eleven year old girl, Nellie Calvo, who was alone with her brothers and sisters. The man opened the window and gagged the girl. She squirmed around and managed to release the gag, and when she started screaming, attracting the neighbors the man made his getaway. The girl stated she had never seen the man before, and a very few clues were left upon which the police were able to work. Anaheim Lad Loses Leg, Motor Crash Olen Neal, 523 East Vermont street was seriously injured last Sunday morning when his motorcycle collided with an automobile at Center street and Placentia avenue. He was taken to the Anaheim Sanitarium, where his right leg was amputated, just above the ankle. His condition is now reported as satisfactory. BEWARE! Some people talk about changing the constitution to fit the economic conditions. That would wipe out the high court. You would then have a dictator like some of the birds in Europe. NUMEROUS PROJECTS DISCUSSED AT MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL HERE A discussion of various projects that are planned by the city, providing the government will approve, took up much of the city council members in the meeting held last Tuesday night. Among other projects planned is the levelling, and draining of the new park site as well as construction. Also storm drain construction. Another project is the placing of school crossing guards which is really a county project, in that all of the cities of the county are planning the same project. Improvements in the city garage and shop taking in a storage shed and paint room was also discussed. In addition to these there were a number of smaller projects listed for consideration, such as placing additional fire hydrants, etc., that it is believed with government aid will give the city better protection. A delegation was present at the council meeting for the purpose of protesting against the new license fee for auctions. This matter, however, is to come up at the meeting next Tuesday night. The protest was against the raising of the fee from $50 to $500 for auction sales. Other routine business occupied the members during the meeting.

MEET At a meeting of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce board of directors at noon today (Thursday) a general discussion regarding the proposed new flood dam was held. William Wallop, superintendent of the water company was the speaker for the meeting. He stated that the matter was now progressing satisfactorily between the board of supervisors and the major water companies and it was not his intention to start any arguments pro or con pending the outcome of the dealings with the board. He explained in detail the points that were, or at least have been controversial and explained the points to the assemblage. In the discussion that followed, William Mauerhan stated that the need for the control of floods was uppermost in his mind and he called attention to the damage done in 1916 as well as the earlier big flood in 1884. Dr. Herbert Johnston called attention to those present that much study should be made of the project, as to whether the saving of the flood waters would compensate the county for the expenditure involved. He urged a close study before the election.
