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 19, 1891 The Board of City Trustees met yesterday afternoon at 2:30. Present Chairman Reiser and Trustees Bennerscheidt, Witte and Schindler. Mr. Littlefield was absent in Los Angeles. The report of ex-Marshal Landell for water and license collections for the month of February was as follows: Total amount $432.75. Delinquent taxes collected $402.30. Marshal Gade presented his bond with the following sureties: A. Goldthwaite, Theo. Rimpau, Dr. J. H. Bullard, Richard Melrose, H. Cahen, Fritz Ruhman and Fred Crist. The bond was accepted. Marshal Gade's first official duty was the burial of a cat (deceased) to which nuisance his attention had been called by Trustee Schindler. The marshal retains the cat's tail as proof of the burial. Hereafter all licenses will be collected monthly in advance. Water rates must be paid promptly and those refusing to pay, or attempting to "stand the marshall off" will suffer the shutting off of the city water on their premises. Herr Kraffke hove in sight and took his seat in a corner of the magnificently upholstered council 25 Years Ago MARCH 23, 1916 Registration for the city election closed at midnight Friday, March 10, and the election will be held on Monday, April 10. City Clerk Merritt has totaled up the figures turned in by the registration deputies and finds 1746 names on the roll. Registration for the presidential primary May 2, closes a week from next Saturday. It is estimated that there are in the third supervisor district more than 8000 voters, while probably not more than 600 have registered up to the present moment. There are therefore some 200 voters who have not registered and unless they attend to this political duty, they will not be permitted to exercise the election franchise at this important election. H. P. Noll celebrated the sixth anniversary of his arrival in Anaheim on Friday evening by inviting a number of friends to assemble at his home and help dispose of a roast pig and numerous side dishes. There were no ladies in the party. The guests were H. A. Dickel, F. C. Krause, Pete Nicolas, John Cook, William Shumacher, John Volz, C. L. Swope, Charles Osborne and Louis Bushard.

Water rates must be paid promptly and those refusing to pay, or attempting to "stand the marshall off" will suffer the shutting off of the city water on their premises. Herr Kraffke hove in sight and took his seat in a corner of the magnificently upholstered council chamber. When all the business of the session had been transacted, Herr Kraffke arose and stated in the German language that he had heard the city was about to appoint a night watchman and he would like to have the job. He thought he could light the city lamps and watch the town to the Queen's taste. He now receives $20 per month as lamplighter and his demand for $30 more as nightwatchman threw the board into convictions. After recovering sufficiently to regain his speech Trustee Witte informed Herr Kraffke that perhaps business men of the city might guarantee the amount. His answer translated into English meant that Herr Kraffke disdained the idea, or words to that effect. The meeting adjourned to Wednesday afternoon next at 2 o'clock. Oscar Luedke's town clock was a trifle off in its strokes on Tuesday afternoon, striking twelve instead of one, and one stroke short during all of the afternoon hours. Everybody's watches were apparently an hour fast, until Oscar explained that the swelling of the timbers supporting the clock, consequent upon the recent rainy weather, had upset the working gear and interfered with the sounder. But yesterday the apparatus was set right again, and the clock now tolls the hours and quarter hours correctly, to the unspeakable gratitude of all our citizens. The clock's apology for striking wrong, is accepted. The ostriches (116 in number) and other property of the Placentia ostrich farm will be sold at public auction on Wednesday, April 8th next.

Gregg was on the bench with a game foot, having stepped on a nail a few days previously and Webb was disqualified because of some school regulation. Webb was doped to easily win the hundred yard dash. This was won by Davis of Fullerton, his time being 10.3/5.
