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 11, 1889 The city dads held no meeting yesterday, for the reason that not one of them took trouble to be present. They were a few showers during the afternoon and the skies were cloudy. The city dad does not like to get wet. All the salaried officers of the city were in attendance, ready to go on with the meeting. There were City Clerk Rebelung, City Aattortorney Melrose, City Engineer Schneider, Marshal Landell and Superintendent of Streets Wood.

Both were long identified with Orange county after being exiled from their native country. They came to California and established a colony at Anaheim which met with failure. They later bought a home in Santiago canyon, just above Orange County Park, a beautiful mountain estate. After retiring from the stage they made their home in Tustin. Count Bozenta was a nephew of the leader of the Polish uprising in 1930 and a nephew of Gen. Chlapowski, aide-de-camp of Napoleon. His writings and sympathy of Madame Modjeska with the uprising caused their exile. She struggled against the censorship of Russia over the Polish theatre, and for that reason officials prohibited the exhibition of her portrait in Warsaw, forbade students attending her performances, and closed the Polish theatre in St. Petersburg. The count and Madame Modjeska were married in 1868. They came to Ana- Employment of F. R.
