DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 11, 1916 While he makes no pretenses at being a Barney Oldield, Representative Roy W. Ritner is willing to admit that nothing so chafes his spirit as a slow train and that nothing so exults him as to be at the wheel of a car that can eat up the miles on a good dirt road. Yesterday he performed a feat that isn’t exactly a good advertisement for steam travel in these parts. He left Spokane yesterday morning on the Spokane-Pend- leton train. He got off at Garield, spent 25 minutes there after the train had departed, jumped into his Cadillac eight and started for Pendleton. He was held up a half hour at the ferry and stopped ive minutes in Walla Walla and yet he beat the train, which he had left at Garield, into Pendleton by ive minutes. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 11, 1966 Four young Pendleton men Monday proved claims that they were denied their constitutional rights in a trial in Hermiston District Justice of the Peace Court. Circuit Judge William W. Wells set aside the convic- tions after a ive-hour hearing and remanded the case to Justice of the Peace Don Hurrie.

They charged their trial was “void and a sham” and that within 30 minutes they were arraigned, convicted, sentenced to six months in jail and ined $100 each — but were never arrested. “Justice is speedy,” attorney Larry Rew said, “but not that speedy.” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 11, 1991 Pendleton police learned Thursday that a man was arrested more than two months ago for a January robbery at Pendleton’s Far West Federal Bank. Gerald T. Schram, 35, was indicted April 9 for robberies in Pendleton, Bend and Tigard. He was arrested by a Reno, Nev., police oficer after being pulled over for a trafic violation on Feb. 23, said Ed Taber, Pendleton Police chief. Taber said the FBI was late in informing his ofice of the arrest because of a recent transition of Pendleton agents. Schram was traveling with his wife, Innette Marcoccia, when they were stopped by an oficer who identiied their vehicle as one involved with the robbery at Bend, said Gary Sussman, assistant U.S. attorney in Portland.
