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 March 12, 1891 Messrs. R. C. Shaw and M. W. O'Gorman of Chino, representing Richard Gird, arrived in town yesterday morning for the purpose of accompanying a delegation of our citizens to the Landing, where soundings were to be made to demonstrate the practicability of building a wharf at the terminus of the Anaheim and Chino railroad. The party left for the Landing in carriages about 9:45 o'clock. They returned at 7:30 last evening and left again for the Landing this morning, when soundings will be resumed. A subscription of ten shares of stock by J. J. Weglein of San Francisco for the Dreyfus company has been received. It is to be hoped that those of our citizens who have not yet subscribed will do so. A couple of dozen shares subscribed this week would help the road along mightily. An alarm of fire was sounded on Friday morning last for a blaze in the residence of Dr. Hunt on Hedwig street. Mrs. Hunt had been preparing dinner, using a gasoline stove, which leaked, resulting in the apparatus igniting and setting fire to the premises. Mr. Nemetz, who lives near, rushed into the burning building and smashed a hand grenade upon the incipient blaze succeeding in smothering the flames. Mrs. Hunt, who attempted to throw the burning gasoline tank out of doors, was very badly burned about the 25 Years Ago March 16, 1916 Five candidates are in the field for the office of city trustee and there are only two vacancies to fill, consequently three of them are going to be disappointed. The men who have announced themselves as willing to serve the people on the governing board of the city are John H. Cook and William Stark, present members of the board, G. M. Simpson, Frank Goodrich and J. J. Dwyer. Mr. Dwyer was spoken of a month ago as a possible candidate, but he left on a trip to Hawaii, and it was supposed he had decided not to be a candidate. However, he has returned and his petition was in circulation Tuesday. There appears to be no defined issue in the campaign, the personality of the candidates alone being the factor. For city treasurer there are only two candidates in the field. They are Charles A. Boege, Cashier of the Southern County bank, and Earl R. Abbey. There is only a $5 a month salary attached to the job. There is only one candidate for city clerk, although it is a desirable job from a salary standpoint. E. B. Merritt will succeed himself without opposition, unless some candidate breaks cover today, as the nominating petitions must be in the hands of County Clerk Williams on this date. State Controller B. S. Chambers of Sacramento, John Mitchell of Oakland and E. R. Collins of Red- the residence of Dr. Hunt on Hedwig street. Mrs. Hunt had been preparing dinner, using a gasoline stove, which leaked, resulting in the apparatus igniting and setting fire to the premises. Mr. Nemetz, who lives near, rushed into the burning building and smashed a hand grenade upon the incipient blaze succeeding in smothering the flames. Mrs. Hunt, who attempted to throw the burning gasoline tank out of doors, was very badly burned about the hands and feet. That the lady was not more seriously burned is undoubtedly due to Mr. Nemetz and the hand grenade, which also saved the house from destruction. A bill has passed the Legislature for the somewhat surprising purpose of providing for the legal formation of the city of Santa Ana. It appears that when the town was formed into a city of the fifth class, a defect in advertising was allowed to creep in, nullifying the incorporation. The defect was discovered by Judge Brunson some months ago, and the only way to rectify the error was by passage of an Act covering the case. Engineer Jack Huchinson is back in the cab of his engine again, the washouts having been repaired sufficiently to allow his train to run. His engine pulls the Tustin train, and can be heard "squealing" through town every morning about 7 o'clock. Jack is one of the oldest trainmen on the road and is as affable a gentleman as he is capable an engineer. The performances of the "human serpent" are nightly witnessed by large crowds in front of the Commercial hotel. The performance is different from the usual street show, and the exhibition has an added interest in the fact that the contortionist claims to have been "vonce Sullivan's Pardner." The anniversary hop of Company G at the armory on Thursday evening last was greatly enjoyed by everybody present. After a short drill at which the guardsmen showed their proficiency, the assemblage engaged in a social hop which lasted until midnight. Among those present were Cap and Mrs. A. L. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Horr, Mrs. Laura Bates, Mrs. N. Bittner, Mrs. Heiman, Mrs. Littlefield, Mrs. Prather, Miss Clara Baker, Misses Eda and Mary There is only one candidate for city clerk, although it is a desirable job from a salary standpoint. E. B. Merritt will succeed himself without opposition, unless some candidate breaks cover today, as the nominating petitions must be in the hands of County Clerk Williams on this date. State Controller B. S. Chambers of Sacramento, John Mitchell of Oakland and E. R. Collins of Redding, members of the State Board of Equalization made a trip through Orange County oil fields in company of County Assessor James Sleeper Tuesday. The purpose of the visit was to keep in touch with assessment matters, and to get first hand information concerning developments. D. Gervais has sold his beautiful residence property on South Los Angeles street to George Waterman of Glendale, the consideration being $20,000. Mr. Gervais and family will move to Los Angeles. Mrs. Frances Lyon and Miss Margaret Higgins of Hollywood, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Helmsen on Tuesday last. They are former residents of this city and while here met a number of friends who were glad to meet them again. J. A. Knapp, the Garden Grove Chili King, left Tuesday for the east, for the purpose of selling the big crop of chilis grown in the Garden Grove neighborhood. Mrs. F. N. Gibbs gave a dinner party Friday evening to a number of friends, the occasion being her husband’s birthday. Guests were present from Santa Ana and Garden Grove. A large birthday cake on which burned a small green candle for each year of Mr. Gibb’s life, was the center piece of the table. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider entertained the Jolly Good Time club at their home on Friday evening. Refreshments were served after the game of five hundred. Mrs. Leon Porter and Mrs. O. W. Clark, L. Dahlman and J.

Three people celebrated birthdays at the dinner, Mr Boatman, Mrs. Mary H and Mr. R. E. Boatman. The table was decorated Patrick’s Day motif, with shamrock nut cups. A change was made after meal from the usual birthday to ice cream sodas. The time after the dinner spent by exchanging gossip is expected that a good b will be organized here in future. Miss Edna Wents was v Los Angeles Thursday. Suit has been brought in court by the Brown company against Mr. Herd for judgment of $309.621 judgment entered in May 1911.
