DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 1, 1915 Returning home to his bride in Mt. Vernon, Wash., from Ault, Colo., Burl Clayton fell from the train near Cayuse and was killed. It is presumed that in a desire to save carfare, he was beating his way by riding on top of the cars and fell off when he became chilled or sleepy. His body was found yesterday about noon about one mile this side of Cayuse by a member of the section crew.

On June 15, his wife LaGreta underwent major surgery. Five days later, Johnson left for summer classes at Oregon State University. Two days after he left, their 3 1/2-year-old son, Mark, fell from a horse and broke his DUP-RKQVRQUHWXUQHGODVWZHHNHQGWR¿QGWKH situation bad enough, but under control. Then Monday, their 2-year-old son, Mike, fell and broke his leg. Johnson returns home from the course this weekend. Their daughter, Tammy, 6, was the only member left here who was still in good health at midweek. Mrs. Johnson and children were spending this week with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Albert Johnson. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 1, 1990 Birthday cards and a few tattered pictures are all a Pendleton woman has had to remember her grandfather. Throughout the years she carefully protected those links to the past. After all, the last birthday card she received from her grandfather was on her fourth birthday, 24 years ago. But those vague memories will end today when Candi Thomas catches up with her family history. She recently learned that her grandfather and uncle reside in Nampa, Idaho, a relatively short drive to a long-overdue reunion. Ironi- cally, husband Rich Thomas had competed in Nampa rodeos at the very arena at which her grandfather, Allan Robinson, had operated a concession stand. “We probably walked right past him and didn’t even know it was my grandfather,” Thomas said.
