IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette BY MR. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... October 1880 A large sized row took place on last Saturday night in a Chinese store on First North street. While the proprietor, Sin Sam Lee, was counting some money (the store being full of Chinamen) the lights were blown out suddenly and he was stabbed in the back of the neck. In the confusion which ensued about thirty dollars in money was taken. Two Chinamen were arrested for the crime but Justice Bailey discharged them as the proof was insufficient to convict. At a meeting of the Republican Club on Saturday evening the following officers were chosen: President, D. E. Miles; vice-presidents, W. M. Higgins, J. M. Guinn, B. F. Seibert, and Theo Reiser. Secretary, Max Nebelung. Treasurer, F. Hartung. Sergeant-at-arms, Wm. Clift. The club will meet fortnightly. Mr. Nadeau has shipped several tons of dried beets to the sugar works at Alvarado and he is now there awaiting the result. We will know in a few days whether Los Angeles beets or Gennert's machinery are to blame for the failure to make sugar. The Rev. W. H. Hill of Los Angeles will hold services in the Episcopal church tomorrow. All from the lumber yard of A. Guy Smith & Co., of Anaheim. They can haul the lumber cheaper from here than they can send it by rail from Los Angeles to Colton and thence to Riverside by team. Mr. B. F. Seibert received by express from Arizona the other day a fine piece of silver bearing quartz taken from a recently found lodge in his mine in the Globe district. Flakes of pure silver are plainly seen all over the specimen and a ledge of such ore will make a Rothschild of the fortunate owner. The Republican Mass Meeting held in Kroeger's hall on Monday evening was addressed by Hon. R. Pacheco of San Luis Obispo, Hon. E. D. Wheeler of San Francisco and Hon. Thomas R. Bard of Ventura. A large number of people attended and much enthusiasm was manifested. Referring to a paragraph in the Commercial which intimates that the Gazette editor has become a "Greenbacker," a friend in Los Angeles writes consolingly: "Never mind what Benj says; he's nothing but an old sore anyway." We are grieved that anybody should write us so flippantly and irreverently about such a venerable old man.

Mr. Frank Ey has sold out his business in Santa Ana and has again taken up his residence in Anaheim. It is not generally known that the people of Riverside, San Bernardino county, procure a large proportion of the lumber used by them for building purposes.

A good first-class hotel is one of the urgent needs of the city. Let our local capitalists take the matter up and give it careful consideration. New business houses are in contemplation backed by local capital but nothing is needed more than a modern hotel. The throngs of easterners now pouring into Los Angeles are invading the outlying towns in search of accommodations for the winter. There is not a first class hotel in Southern California that is not paying well. A good hotel here will pay from the start. It is at this time the one crying need of the town.

Henry disclaims any intention of occupying one himself but a knowing one says he will install in one of them a charming lady as a bride. A. C. Bertram has purchased the twenty-acre ranch of L. A.
