IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago December 26, 1918 Capt. U. M. Holderman, formerly of Company L, the famous "Lost Battalion" has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States Government. Captain Holderman was in a hospital following the Argonne battle, but gave his friends the understanding that he was uninjured. It now develops that he received ten wounds in that desperate struggle, but none of them were dangerous. He has recovered and joined his command at Coblenz. All pacifists before the war and all who believe in dealing leniently with the Germans will change their minds after reading the revelations brought out recently in Washington and New York relative to the extensive propaganda plots set on foot by German agents and sympathizers in the United States before this country entered the war. These plots include besides poisoning public opinion in the newspapers, theaters and movies, the blowing up of factories, public works etc. etc. In the face of these revelations can there be an American who wants to "go easy" with the men responsible for these deeds and the horrors of the war? As Lloyd George says they should be compelled to pay the penalty to the limit. Frank Davis is enjoying a visit from his daughter, Mrs. F. H. Leonard, of Seattle, Washington 50 Years Ago December 28, 1893 The rains have come down with a drizzle-drizzle that makes the farmer smile in jubilation. The week has been wet, very wet, and Tuesday the precipitation was continuous during the entire day. Business was for the most part, suspended, as the rain fell in torrents, when the first genuine rain-storm of the season set in. Rains are invariably preceded here by a warm wind from the southeast, but as all signs fail in dry weather, so does the rain in rainy weather pay little heed to the wind, and then it rains with the wind north, east, south or west. The winds were variable during the day, but the rain continued steadily to descend, until it banished all thoughts of a dry year. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Dickel's guage showed that 1.47 inches had fallen during the preceding twenty - four hours. Total for the season 4.96 inches. Up to this time last year we had 3.65 inches. Yesterday the weather was cloudy and last evening the indications were good for rain. John Wagner advertises his orange orchard and other property at Placentia for sale. The property is situated in the choicest part of the Placentia orange belt, and is second to none for oranges and walnuts. It will be sold at a bargain. LAST RITES HELD FOR MRS.
