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 January 8, 1891 On Monday at noon the lately elected county officers were inducted into office. Judge Towner, Clerk Wickham, Recorder Foster, and Superintendent Greeley succeed themselves. F. W. Sanborn is the new District attorney, taking the place of Col. E. E. Edwards, who returns to the practice of the law. James Hall is the newly elected auditor. He has no immediate predecessor, the office having heretofore been merged into that of Recorder, over both of which the corpulent, good-natured and re-elected Mr. Foster has held sway since the organization of the county. C. F. Mansur is the new county treasurer, replacing Dr. Wall, who goes to Tustin to spray bugs on orange trees. During the recent campaign the battle cry was "Mansur is all right." Consequently he defeated our Captain Keith, who, however, ran like a "skared wolf" in springtime—or any other time, for a wolf, once properly scared, lingers not to inquire the status of the season, but vanishes forthwith, if not sooner. That was the way Keith ran, but he couldn't overhaul Mansur. J. B. Porter is the new tax-collector, and Uncle Jake Ross the new Assessor. Jake has appointed Julius Schneider as his deputy in Anaheim, thus ignoring faction 25 Years Ago January 13, 1916 Promising that the guests would be given a feast of extraordinary merit, both intellectually and gastronomically, the committee in charge of arrangements for the fourteenth annual banquet of the Anaheim Board of Trade fulfilled its promises Monday night. The ladies of the Eastern Star furnished the banquet and sustained the reputation they have gained for always giving their guests a good feed. Roast turkey with oyster dressing, was the foundation of the feast, but it was garnished with numerous dishes, winding up with plum pudding. It was feared the rain which was falling throughout the day would interfere with the attendance, but 105 persons sat down to the tables. H. V. Weisel acted as toastmaster and made a neat little speech, he then introduced F. C. Krause the retiring president. G. W. Sandilands was the next speaker and was followed by Mrs. George Terry. The last speaker on the program was Prof. E. W. Hauck, the newly elected president of the board of trade. At the close of Dr. Hauck's address chairman Weisel called on the audience to sing "America." Led by Miss Sidnam at the plano the banqueters joined their voices and closed a most enjoyable evening with the soul-stirring song. GUSS-LINGER NUPTIALS TOLD Friends of Charles Linger, son of Mrs. Mary Linger of the Linger apartments, and Miss Lois Jea Guss, daughter of Mr. and Mr. Charles Guss, were surprised to learn of their marriage July 1939. The announcement was made last Friday at a dinner given by Mrs. Mary Linger. The guests attending were asked to pull a ribbon tied to scrolls which filled the center of the cake. "Chuck and Jean, July 6,'39." was inscribed on the scrolls. Both Mr. and Mrs. Linger are graduates of Anaheim union high school, class of '38. Both graduated from Fullerton junior college last year and have been taking post-graduate course there. The plan to continue studies at Whittier college, beginning in February Mrs. Linger majored in interior decoration and art, while her husband has been majoring in history. Attending the dinner were Mrs. Charles Guss, Mrs. Annie Guss, Miss Sarah Guss, Mr Corrinne Linger, Miss Bernie Linger and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Linger and the hostess. Lois Rebekah Lodge Installation Planner Members of the Lois Rebekah lodge met last Friday for the final meeting of the term at the Odd Fellows' hall. Mrs. Rena Allen of Geneva Ohio, was special guest of the evening. Announcement of installations were made, including formal rites Janurary 17 for Anaheim members. Other lodge installations will be Sycamore, Saranac ently he defeated our Captain Keith, who, however, ran like a "skared wolf" in springtime—or any other time, for a wolf, once properly scared, lingers not to inquire the status of the season, but vanishes forthwith, if not sooner. That was the way Keith ran, but he couldn't overhaul Mausur. J. B. Porter is the new tax-collector, and Uncle Jake Ross the new Assessor. Jake has appointed Julius Schneider as his deputy in Anaheim, thus ignoring faction slates and slate makers in the usual religious way. If Jake does not make the best assessor this county has ever had, he need never again come up for office, but might as well retire to Bolsas to "saw wood." Theo. Lacy is the new sheriff, replacing R. T. Harris, who goes back to Westminster to take up his duties as cross-roads store keeper. Lacy has the distinction of having beaten his opponent, George Insley, by the biggest majority of the election. Lacy's deputies will be Walter Tedford and Jim Buckley, good men and true. We look for a clean and capable administration of the office. The new coroner and public administrator is our distinguished townsman and farmer, Frank Ey, who is looking for his first job as corpse inspector. He made a political corpse of Editor McIntosh in the recent election. Ex-Coroner Mills will return to Modena to talk Prohibition and wonder how it all came about. Of the hold-overs, Judge Towner, Clerk Wickham, Recorder Foster and Superintendent Greeley, nothing need be said except that, having filled their respective offices acceptably for a single term, they were all of them re-elected. They have made good officers in the past, and will undoubtedly continue so in the term to come. Joseph Fennessy is the official stenographer of the superior court, holding over from last year, or rather being reappointed by the Judge. He has been engaged in reporting since 1874 during which time he has occupied many responsible positions in San Francisco and elsewhere on the coast. Surveyor Finley succeeds Surveyor Woods. The new board of supervisors organized on Monday. Mr. Littlefield took his seat as Supervisor from this district. A demand was made upon him by Mr. Schorn's attorney to vacate his seat in favor of Mr. Schorn, but this Mr. Littlefield declined to do, and the contest went over to be argued again. Krause the retiring president. G. W. Sandilands was the next speaker and was followed by Mrs. George Terry. The last speaker on the program was Prof. E. W. Hauck, the newly elected president of the board of trade. At the close of Dr. Hauck's address chairman Weisel called on the audience to sing "America." Led by Miss Sidnam at the plano the banqueters joined their voices and closed a most enjoyable evening with the soul-stirring song. The fire department boys met on Wednesday and elected new officers for the coming year. They are: E. L. Goodrich, chief; Herman Backs, assistant chief; Fred Backs, foreman; Frank Tausch, secretary; B. L. Goodrich, first lieutenant; R. A. Quarton, second lieutenant and Carl Pressel, sergeant. Friday afternoon Chile Fisher ran a rusty tack into his finger, and during that night he experienced an incipient case of blood poisoning. Previously he had barked another finger and that member caused him pain. As the night progressed the pain increased and a physician was called. He is now well on the way to recovery and no further inconvenience is anticipated. C. E. Holcomb, Charles Eyabroad and Wm. Falkenstein went up to Los Angeles Saturday to attend a meeting of the Masonic past masters association. A banquet was given to the visitors at the Hotel Clark. B. F. Porter's home on Orange-thorpe avenue was entered by burglars last week. They took a pocket book containing two checks and a lady's watch and some eatables. Entrance was made through a window. While Henry Oelkers was spading in his garden at his home the other day he lost his watch, which dropped out of his pocket. He did not miss the time piece for some hours later, when he went in search of it. He is sure he lost the watch while engaged in his garden work. Although he hunted high and low for the time piece he was unable to find it, so he went and invested in a new one. Charles Wagner left Tuesday for Arizona, where he will spend the next ten days visiting friends in various towns. Members of the Lois Rebekah lodge met last Friday for the final meeting of the term at the Odd Fellows' hall. Mrs. Rena Allen of Geneva Ohio, was special guest of the evening. Announcement of installations were made, including the formal rites Janurary 17 for Anheim members. Other lodge stallations will be Sycamore, San Ana lodge, Jan. 11; Westminster Jan. 14; Fullerton Jan. 15; Orange Jan. 20 and Torosa, Santa Ana Jan. 22. Mrs. Hazel Ryan of Santa Ana district deputy president, will be stall officers. Friday's meeting consisted mostly of planning for the coming event. It was anounced that Mrs. Grace Ahlstroff will hostess the Past Noble Grant association today at her home. A pot-luck supper was enjoyed by those present.

Surveyor Finley succeeds Surveyor Woods. The new board of supervisors organized on Monday. Mr. Littlefield took his seat as Supervisor from this district. A demand was made upon him by Mr. Schorn's attorney to vacate his seat in favor of Mr. Schorn, but this Mr. Littlefield declined to do, and the contest went over to be argued again at some future date. The ostriches at the farm near Fullerton were never in a more flourishing condition than now. A very fine lot of feathers were plucked from the birds a few weeks ago. Superintendent Atherton reports a good market for the feathers in San Francisco. Marshall Haight has sold his place on North street to Emily G. Pratt. The consideration is $8,500. We hear that he intends to remove to Los Angeles. Theo. Hartung expired at his home on Sycamore street on December 31st. He was a native of Goslar, Germany, and was aged 55 years. The remains were forwarded to San Francisco where interment took place on Saturday. Deceased leaves a wife and large family to mourn his loss. Our townsman W. J. Hill has the commiseration of the entire community in the untimely death of his son Samuel J. Hill, aged 8 years. The child succumbed to diptheria on Thursday last. The other children are down with the same disease but their recovery is hoped for. At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge, A. O. U.

George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures was in town Tuesday on business connected with his office. Don David Yorba was a business visitor in town on Monday. He is located at Prado. In speaking of the case of Mrs. Johnson brought against the late Bernardo Yorba estate he maintains Mrs. Johnson has no case, inasmuch as the estate in question was divided equally among the heirs and was settled according to law. The late Bernardo Yorba was Dave's grandfather. Dave bears the distinction of being the oldest living descendant of the second generation of the original Yorba family. Mrs. Johnson is a niece of Mrs. Velasco of Yorba. Mr. Dickel reports 1.10 inches of rain during the last storm making 6.85 inches for the season. Mr. and Mrs. N. H.

Speaking of this incident he said that if the proposed plan of Los Angeles to turn waters of the San Gabriel river to Los Alamitos bay is carried the entire western part of county will undoubtedly be flooded every winter.* ANAHEIM GAZETTE MISS-LINGER MATERIALS TOLD A news of Charles Linger, son of Mary Linger of the Linger events, and Miss Lois Jean daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guss, were surprised to find their marriage July 6. The announcement was made today at a dinner given by Mary Linger. The guests attended were asked to pull a ribbon to scrolls which filled the cup of the cake.
