IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO
Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain The Only Authentic History In Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers.
50 Years Ago
APRIL 10, 1886
The first week of the citrus fair closed last Saturday night and it has indeed been a phenomenal success. The average daily attendance has been about 2,000, while on Saturday it was estimated that 5,000 people visited the fair. The papers of the city have been very kind with their notices, and have given the fair wide publicity. We print below a paragraph from the Chicago Grocer.
The Anaheim, Los Angeles county, exhibit is in charge of Mr. Richard Melrose, and the arrangement and general attractiveness of these tables could, scarcely be surpassed. Here we find oranges, lemons, apples, peanuts, English walnuts, licorice root and one year old banana trees, with fruit and blossoms, standing 12 feet high. The wine exhibit is large and includes port, sherry, angelica, grape brandy and wine vinegar. Among the exhibitors are B. Dreyfus & Co., Fred Hartung, Chas Otto Rust, Theo. Reiser, Mrs. J. Schneider, J. P. Zeyn, F. A. Korn, Browning Bros. H. Kroeger, and Dr. Strodthoff; all of Anaheim.
The ostrich eggs are from the Anaheim ostrick farm, there being but two such farms in the United States, the other is located at San Diego. Little ostriches were hatched at Anaheim two years ago, their parents having been imported direct.
An artist in pencil on the ground, and is intended to show vineyards, orange groves and residences. These pamphlets are to be ready for distribution in time for the visit of the Grand Army of the Republic in August next. As this will afford an opportunity to show the superiority of this section in an attractive manner to a large number of Eastern visitors, we trust that the citizens of Anaheim will be alive to their interests when the matter is presented to them by Mr. H. N. Elliott who is working up the enterprise in this vicinity.
On Monday white Charles Norman and a Chinaman were unloading oranges from his wagon which stood by the side of a car on the main track at the depot, a special train containing railroad officers came up without warning of its approach. Mr. Norman, in his efforts to get his team off the tracks was thrown from the wagon and considerably bruised. The Chinaman was also thrown out, and injured his leg and head. The team ran up the track, throwing out several boxes of oranges belonging to Mr. Silas Holman. The train moved on without stopping and scattered the oranges about in a manner quite promiscuous.
The exhibition made by the Pomological society in Los Angeles was not so large, nor so attractive as desired. Many cir-tival unfortunately occurred at the same time and detracted from the interest and attendance they would otherwise have been given to the Pomological exhibit. The next meeting of the society will held in Anaheim.
A pleasant surprise party was given by the young people Monday night to Miss Alice Culverwhe at the residence of Dr. Higgin Thursday night the friends of Mr. Mary Smith and a visiting cousin surprised them very agreeably at the home of W. J. Smith in Cangethorpe.
Zanjero J. C. Jacqua has gone East, Miss H. E. Ford accompanied him as far as Los Angeles thence his companion was M. Jacqua nee Ford.
Roadmaster Paty is grading Broadway from the depot to the Landing road. The street running west from the depot has also been graded.
Died—In Anaheim, March 29 Leonard Jander, aged 67 years.
The amount of the week's rain fall was .67 of an inch.
The public school has been elcled during the past week to permit the teachers to attend the Teachers' Institute at Los Angeles deference to a state law require their presence.

This section offers superior inducements to the intending settler, and has for its recommendation the prosperity of those who have selected it for homes, all of whom can show substantial evidence of the wisdom of their choice in their comfortable homes and plentiful worldly goods.
Great excitement exists at Albuquerque, New Mexico, on account of the news received of the threatened outbreak of the Navajos from their reservation in San Juan valley. It seems that the Indians have long been restless under fancied or real grievances, relative to encroachments on the reservation by settlers, and now threaten to kill the whites in the San Juan country. The Navajoes have about fifteen hundred warriors, well armed, and will do incalculable damage unless instant measures are taken to conciliate them. Gov. Ross has been advised by telegraph of the condition of things, and the Territorial militia has been warned to hold itself in readiness for any emergency.
W. W. Elliott of San Francisco have undertaken the compilation and publication of a pamphlet, professionally illustrated of the southern portion of Los Angeles county. The illustrations will be made by
