IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anabeim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Dennis Kearney, the notorious San Francisco agitator, spoke in Kroeger's Hall on Wednesday night, on the new constitution. The meeting broke up in a riot. The lights were put out and Mr. Lynill addressed the crowd in front of the hall. Mr. Lynill is a good speaker and he handled Mr. Kearney in a most vigorous and denomitory manner. Deputy Sheriff Dick Barham and Marshal Wartenberg kept the crowd quiet. At Santa Ana on Thursday evening Kearney spoke at an out door meeting and he viciously assailed Messrs. Fruit, Spurgeon, Brown, McFadden. He also said that Irvine is a thieving land-robber and that Selbert of Anaheim is a hoodlum. A man named Rule stepped up and struck Kearney and in the melee that followed Kearney was quite badly beaten up. Deputy Sheriff Hickey appeared and rescued him. After having his wounds dressed Kearney left on the stage for San Diego. The town trustees held a meeting on Monday.
