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 JUNE 6, 1889 The election on Tuesday passed off quietly 243 votes being cast. A round dozen citizens in this precinct favored the new county and 231 voted against it. Several discussions occurred during the day between Anaheim and Santa Ana men, but the arguments although vehement were friendly. At Fullerton 120 votes were cast 95 against the new county and 15 for. Fairview polled 83 votes, 68 against and 15 favoring the new county. Buena Park polled 18 votes all against. Santa Ana polled 1036 for, 50 against. Orange 202 for, 2 against. Orange has placed the Rochester hotel in escrow for a court house. It is valued at $70,000. A dispatch received by N. H. Mitchell from Messrs. Beatty and Edgar of Santa Ana, saying that a cordial welcome would be extended our citizens at a celebration of "the success of Orange county" at Santa Ana last evening. Several citizens were talking about going over when we went to press. The Sisters of St. Catherine's academy desire to return thanks to the people of Anaheim for their generous contributions in aid of building a fence about the Convent on Palm street. Over $212 was donated, which exceeded the sisters expectations. A tasty fence will at once be erected by Charles Schindler and a lawn and flower beds laid out. The childrens' play 25 Years Ago MAY 28, 1914 After lying dormant for almost a year the question of widening that block of Center street between Lemon and Los Angeles has again bobbed up with strong possibilities that the proposal will develop into a certainty. The first plan was to slice off 12 feet of the buildings on the north side of the street and 10 feet on the south thus making the buildings uniform to the frontage lines on East Center, but the present plans contemplate culling only 8 feet from the front of the buildings and adding it to the sidewalks. Probably two years will be required to make this radical change. The first move will be made at the Lemon street corner. F. A. Yungbluth last week purchased the 27 foot lot on this corner of the Home Telephone company and will erect a building thereon, and will set it back 8 feet from the present frontage line. Mr. Dickel will also set the remodeled postoffice building back eight feet. There is still some opposition to the proposition on the south side. When the original plat of Anaheim was made the streets were all surveyed 49½ feet in width. When it became apparent that Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon would be the business center of the young town, property owners on both sides of Center deeded 9 feet for street purposes thus adding 18 feet to the street. When business began to cross Los Angeles street Obituaries FRED G. BATTIG Funeral services for Fred Battig, 60, were conducted yesterday afternoon from the Hilgen funeral home. Rev. William Hatzky, pastor of West Broad Methodist church, officiated burial was in Anaheim cemetery.

Four hundred marriage licenses have been issued by the co- clerk in Santa Ana since the day of February. This establishes a record. The Sisters of St. Catherine's academy desire to return thanks to the people of Anaheim for their generous contributions in aid of building a fence about the Convent on Palm street. Over $212 was donated, which exceeded the sisters' expectations. A tasty fence will at once be erected by Charles Schindler and a lawn and flower beds laid out.

The worst fears that have been expressed in word or print about the calamity at Johnstown, Pa., have been fully realized. Ten thousand persons met their death in the rushing flood that poured down the city and adjacent villages. Two thousand more were roasted alive after escaping the torrent. The mighty wave that rushed through the valley when the dam at Lake Conemaugh broke Friday evening cut a swathe of death 13 miles long.
