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 Ploneers. 50 Years Ago May 16, 1889 A largely attended meeting of citizens was held at Kroeger's hall on Thursday evening last to listen to arguments in favor of division. Over fifty people from Santa Ana were present. M. McFadden was chosen as chairman. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana was the first speaker. He spoke at length upon the absorbing topic from his point of view. Mr. Luckel of Anaheim combatted the theory advanced by Mr. Mortgomery. Anti-division ratings were held at Westminster and Garden Grove last week, both were largely attended and much enthusiasm manifested. A few days ago it was claimed not a vote would be cast against division in these sections, but it is now believed that on election day many citizens will so understand the question as to vote against the new county. The Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim held their regular meeting on last Saturday evening and transacted routine business. John P. Zeyn was elected president, vice F. Ey resigned. F. A. Korn was elected a Director, Wm. Harker acts as temporary secretary in the absence of Louis Luckel, out 100 additional shares stock were subscribed. The association is composed of our most influential citizens, is fast becoming a solid institution and 25 Years Ago May 7, 1914 H. A. Dickel yesterday received official notification from the postoffice at Washington that his offer of a postoffice site had been accepted. This means that the postoffice will remain in its present quarters for another 10 years. An offer has been submitted by East Center street property owners of a site for the postoffice opposite the city hall, but this was declined by the department at Washington. Mr. Dickel will immediately begin making enlargements to the present postoffice building. An extension will be added at the rear and the room made sufficiently large to accommodate the increasing business of the office. The postoffice has been conducted in the present building for many years and under the new lease will remain 10 years longer. Mr. and Mrs. Jean Allec, well known residents of this section have returned from Durango, Mexico, bringing with them four of their children. They were compelled to flee for their lives, and were obliged to leave behind them one of their sons, who was abducted and held for ransom. The eldest son who is with them had also been abducted and held for ransom, but he made his escape and rejoined his family. Mr. Allec was advised by the American consul to flee for his life. He was disciplined to depart The Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim held their regular meeting on last Saturday evening and transacted routine business. John P. Zeyn was elected president, vice F. Ey resigned. F. A. Korn was elected a Director, Wm. Harker acts as temporary secretary in the absence of Louis Luckel. Out 100 additional shares stock were subscribed. The association is composed of our most influential citizens, is fast becoming a solid institution and at no distant day will render material aid to the advancement of Anaheim. A drive along Orangethorpe avenue this season of the year is most delightful. The well-kept farms that align the avenue lend a charm to the picture that is not soon forgotten. The orange orchard of Isaac Lyons is one of the most beautiful. Mr. Lyons resides in a palatial dwelling house and his many out buildings are models in their way. The same may be said of the other thrifty farmers who live upon the avenue. The farms of Messrs. J. B. Stone, Alex Gardiner, and B. F. Porter are wonderfully neat and thrifty. Uncle David Evey of Pasadena was in town on Monday renewing old acquaintances of whom he has a great multitude here. He attended the meeting of the Masonic lodge of which he has remained a member since his departure from Anaheim several years ago. He reports affairs quiet in Pasadena. A house belonging to Amerige Brothers located on Orangethorpe avenue Fullerton, and lately occupied by Mr. Howell, was burned to the ground early Monday morning. A quantity of furniture was destroyed. The fire is said to be the work of an incendiary. Claus Wilkins died at his residence on West Street on Tuesday. He had been irrigating at night and contracted a cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia. Deceased had here sixteen years. I leaves a widow to mourn his loss. George Horr and Miss Kate Power attended the performance of the Bostonians in Los Angeles on Saturday evening returning on Sunday. Mrs. S. O. Woo and Mrs. Lewis attended the annual meeting of the Staten Island Historical Society. The Ebell society held its regular May meeting at the Odd Fellows hall, Saturday. Mrs. Ida Dutton, who had been selected as president for the next year, withdrew her name as she plans to visit in the east at an early date and will be absent several months. Mrs. Eva Boyd gave a report on the mid-year meeting of Ebell clubs at Placentia on April 16. The Domestic Science section will hold its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. F. C. Spencer on May 8. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Braden celebrated their silver wedding anniversary on Wednesday evening. The big Buick garage on East Center street was emptied of its autos and used for the occasion and proved to be admirably adapted for such purposes. The guests present were Mr. and Mrs. James Forbes, Mr. and Mrs. L. Dahlman, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Schleuter, Ralph Cox, Albert Kazena of Olive, Col. Henry Hartley, Mrs. L. Charleston, Miss Dora Green, Ray and Frank Charleston and Mr. Schmidt. Judge Howard took a flashlight photograph of the merry party during the evening. Benny Rees and Miss Annie Requarth were married in Santa Ana on Thursday by Justice of the Peace Cox. Godfrey Stock and Joe Backs acted as witnesses at the ceremony. For the present the young couple are making their home with the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Requarth at 126 West Broadway. Fire old veterans of the Civil war left Monday for San Diego Three Anaheim students have been cast in important roles in the annual freshman play, "Away Home", to be presented at the school auditorium next Thursday afternoon and Friday night. Playing the feminine lead will be Virginia Lea Peterson, shown above with Leonard Kunski Whittier, who takes the part Mrs. Masters, mother of the funniest family and who thinks she is in love with a psychologist rather than her husband, Suzanne Sidnam has the part of Lin Masters, oldest daughter who is the juvenile lead, another Anaheim student, Marvin Thornton plays the role of the psychologist, Prof. Armand Sloan. The play, written by Dorothy Bennett and Irving White, derives its title from the old rhyme, "Lil Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away Home." It is a hilarious comedy with touch of sophistication. A mad scramble ensues as father, who has been separated from Nan, the mother, comes home at the same time the psychologist and children are present. The children give their father merry run-around and the psychology professor becomes frightened and leaves for good. "Fly Away Home" will be presented Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock and Friday night at 8:30. Motorist Sentenced to 40 Days in Jeopardy Alberto Telles was sentenced 10 days in the county jail on charge of drunkenness and 30 days for drunk driving when he pleaded guilty before Justice of Peace Charles Kuchel Saturdays. The sentences will run consecutively. George Horr and Miss Kate Power attended the performance of the Bostonians in Los Angeles on Saturday evening returning on Sunday. Mrs. S. O. Woo and Mrs. Lewis attended the annual meeting of the State Board of Morticulture at National City last week. H. Cahe and daughter Melanie and B. Mouliot and family have taken their departure for the Paris Exposition to be absent several months.

Pellegrin and Jack Landell are engaged upon the production of a comedy operetta to be called "The Missing Link," which will be given the public in a few weeks by a company composed of local talent.

They were Captain L. R. Williams, C. S. Troutman, A. B. Markel, P. H. Donahoe and F. B. Kealiher. J. H. Brunworth received a letter from his son Albert Monday announcing that the soldier boy on the Mexican border was well and anxious to go into action. He enclosed a photograph of himself and his tent mate Hollis Knowlton of Fullerton. He writes things are quiet at present but action is expected soon. Joseph Dubbel is out again after a two weeks illness due to an attack of heart trouble. Two weeks ago after ringing the bells in the belfry of St. Boniface church he fell exhausted upon the front steps of his residence on West Center street. He was critically ill for several days but is now recovering and is able to be out again. Mrs. Emma Eddy of Des Monies, Iowa, is visiting at the home of her brother, E. S. Troutman. U. S. Lemon was called to San Bernardino last week by a telegram announcing the serious illness of his brother. Anaheim Girl Has Lead In Play By WARREN BAYLEY TOMBSTONE, ARIZ., "Silver stones—Bah. You'll find nauthin' in them hills but yer tombstone," warned the old scout, Al Sieber. So when Ed Schieffelin struck ore, he called his claim "The Tombstone Mine" and when the news reached the outside world, the town of Tombstone, Arizona, sprang up almost overnight. Ahorse and afoot humanity flowed into the desert and silver poured in with them. The short but blazing career of the Arizona town which had the most valid claim to the title of "the toughest town west of the Mississippi" had begun. Today it is a sleepy little town living on its reputation, supported by a little mining and by the tourists that come in thousands to view its historic Bird Cage theatre and Boothill graveyard. At the edge of town, as you approach from the north, are two large "welcome" signs. These are quite different from those that most cities use to make you welcome and to inform you that the different clubs meet on specified days. On one is lettered "WELCOME TO TOMBSTONE, the town so tough it wouldn't die." On the other, "WELCOME TO TOMBSTONE AND BOOTHILL GRAVEYARD. Buried here are the remains of TOM McLOWERY—FRANK McLOWERY and BILLIE Tombstone, as a source of wealth, was through. The last attempt to work mines was made in 1901, E. B. Gage merged all the properties in the Tombstone County Mines and installed plow with a capacity of 8,000,000 tons a day. The company into bankruptcy in 1911, lost $5,000,000. At a receiver in 1914, the Phelps-Dodge ests, which own the Copper Queen in Bisbee, purchased the profits for $500,000. The Tombstones experts declare, probably will never be worked again.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHU "Adam and Fallen Man" is subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christian Scientist. This verse from Isaiah is the Golden Text in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." The Lesson-Sermon includes also these passages from Genesis: "And God said, Let there be formation in the midst of the waters from the waters... And saw every thing that he had done, behold, it was very good Thus the heavens and the..." James Musick is Given County Job James Musick early this week was appointed deputy probation officer by Superior Judge Homer G. Ames and assumed his new duties immediately. He takes the place left vacant by David McMillan when the latter was elevated to the head of the department. Musick will handle all adult probation cases having to do with juvenile complaints, appear at adult probation hearings in superior court, investigate records of the defendants and make recommendations regarding the defendants' eligibility for probation. He is a former deputy sheriff and will be paid $150 a month. Adults on probation in connection with juvenile cases must make their regular reports to Musick's division of the department. The appointment was made after Judge James had conferred with the juvenile committee and McMillan. Rimpaus Victorious in Damage Actions Judgments totaling $1386.25 were awarded to three plaintiffs who recently sued Samuel H. Hunziker of Anaheim as the result of an automobile accident late last year at the conclusion of hearings before Judge Franklin G. West last week. Mrs. Marie Rimpau Alexander received a judgment of $1358 while her brother, James Rimpau, and his wife, Mrs. Minnie Rimpau, were awarded $28.65. At the edge of town, as you approach from the north, are two large "welcome" signs. These are quite different from those that most cities use to make you welcome and to inform you that the different clubs meet on specified days. On one is lettered "WELCOME TO TOMBSTONE, the town so tough it wouldn't die." On the other, "WELCOME TO TOMBSTONE AND BOOTHILL GRAVEYARD. Buried here are the remains of TOM McLOWERY—FRANK McLOWERY and BILLIE CLANTON, killed in EARP-CLANTON battle Sept. 26, 1881. DAN DOWD, RED SAMPLE, TEX HOWARD, BILL DELANEY and DAN KELLY, hanged legally by J. E. WARD, Sheriff, for the Bisbee massacre, Mar. 8, 1884. JOHN HEATH, lynched by Bisbee mob Feb. 22, 1884. M. R. PEEL, murdered in Charleston, Mar. 8, 1882. BILLY GROUNDS, "DUTCH" ANNE?, INDIAN BILL, PAT LYNCH, BILLY KINSMAN, BLACK JACK, BRADY BROS., MIKE NOOÑAN, 'CHINA', MARY AND JOHN HICKS." The latter sign is located at the entrance to Boothill cemetery, which begins only a few feet from the main highway. In this weird burying grounds there are only 8 head stones. 259 other graves are unmarked in any way except by a mound of rocks which covers the entire grave. Mute testimony, that in this little town, at one time, human life came very cheap. Millions in silver were taken from the Tombstone mines. Millions still remain. At a depth of 500 feet one of the shafts tapped a subterranean lake or river. Water poured in with terrific force. Pumps were installed, but when these were destroyed by fire in 1886, all the mines closed down. Saturday May, 6 is the 12th Anniversary of our subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christian Science. This verse from Isaiah is the Golden Text in Adam all die, even so God shall all be made alive." The Lesson-Sermon also these passages from Genesis and God said: Let there be firmation in the midst of the waters... And saw every thing that he had done and behold, it was very good. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the heaven them... But there went mist from the earth, and wandered the whole face of the ground; the Lord God formed man dust of the ground, and brought into his nostrils the bark of life; and man became a soul." Among the passages from ence and Health with Key Scriptures" by Mary Baker are the statements: "The chapter of Genesis contains statement of this material via God and the universe, a state which is—the exact opposite of entitle truth as before recorded." The Science of the first proverse the falsity of the soil... The first record assigns might and government to God's protection and power... Exists separate from divinity. So explains as impossible." Sure, Dad, I'm looking after Mother! THE dependable young fellow you leave at home will get real encouragement and a big thrill out of a frequent Long Distance call from you. Why not take that boy of yours to the Bell System Exhibit at the Golden Gate International Exposition? He and the whole family will enjoy it.
