IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... June — 1880 About noon on Wednesday two men armed with needleguns and revolvers rode up to the home of Mr. C. Meyerholtz about four miles distant from Anaheim. They said their names were James and Younger, the Mississippi outlaws, that they had just got out of prison and were on the war path. They ordered Mrs. Meyerholtz to prepare a dinner for them. As they were about finishing the meal Messrs. Newell and Chilson rode up in a buggy. The men jumped up, presented their revolvers and ordered them to drive off. Several other men who work in the harvest field also came to the house but were driven away by the desperadoes. Upon leaving they tendered money to Mrs. Meyerholtz in payment of the dinner, which she al first refused to take, but the men insisted. At no time did they offer any indignity to the ladies of the house. Deputy Sheriff Barham, upon being apprised of the matter, started out and scoured the country, but failed to find any trace of the men. He later received the following dispatch from the sheriff of San Bernardino county: "Look out for appointed member of the Board of School Trustees, was elected clerk at a meeting of the Board held last week.

Schmidt has a field of alfalfa from which he has cut nine crops in the last twelve months, and it is again ready for the sickle.

Society at Leutgens Hotel, Francisco, on Jan. 13, 1858, resolved to give the name "Anaheim" to their vineyard the Santa Ana Valley in Los Angeles county.

Deputy Sheriff Burham, upon being apprised of the matter, started out and scoured the country, but failed to find any trace of the men. He later received the following dispatch from the sheriff of San Bernardino county: "Look out for two men riding gray horses, new saddles. One is a tall light complexioned man, the other a small red-headed man, lame in one leg. Arrest them." The men who were at the Meyerholtz place fitted the above description perfectly.

June — 1965 A volume has just been issued by the United States Geological Survey at Washington in which the statement is made that this settlement "was named after Anna Fischer, the first child born in the settlement!"
