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 December 4, 1890 Rain began falling yesterday shortly after noon and has continued up to the time of going to press. At half-past 2 the rain fell in torrents. At 9 o'clock last night the indications were good for an all night's down pour. The rain comes in the nick of time, and is worth thousands of dollars to the valley. Our gilt-edged aggregation of ball players suffered defeat at Santa Ana on Thanksgiving day, the Santa Ana club downing them to the tune of 12 to 7. The Santa Ana boys were strengthened by the playing of Frank Harris, and the tooting of countless fish horns on the outside. These latter implements of warfare placed in the hands of vigorous-lunged youngsters, were tooted at the most inopportune moments very much to the rattle of our boys. Another game will probably be arranged for in the near future. Come over little Santa Ana boys: we'll go you another. The old store room of P. Davis & Bro. is being renovated and improved. The bank vault has been taken out, and new flooring will be put in. The business will be carried on in the future by Gustave Davis, whose advertisement will be found in another column.

The building will be opened to the public about March 1st. A marquet is being erected at the main entrance on Center street that will be a thing of beauty when completed. It will be 30 feet in length and will extend from the building frontage to the edge of the sidewalk. It is to be of artistic inlaid work and numerous vari-colored lights are to be installed. The building altogether will be one of the finest in southern California. R. Y. Williams, Thos. B. Talbert and N. T.

We bespeak for the new store a cordial support from the citizens of the valley. Judge Landell suffered the theft of a horse, which, sometime during Saturday night last, was led from its pasture by some malicious person or persons unknown—to the discomfiture of the Judge's usual Sabbath peace of mind.
