DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 13-14, 1916 There is considerable resentment in Pend- leton over the posters being sent out by the men back of a wild west show to be staged at Ashland on July 4-5-6. In bold type is printed “See the Pendleton Round-up at Ashland July 4-5-6,” with a slogan, imitative of the local slogan, reading “Let ‘im Buck.” The fact that there is absolutely no connection between the Pendleton Round-Up and the little show which is to be staged at Ashland makes the advertise- ments manifestly fraudulent, in the view of the Round-up directors. The misrepresentation, it is pointed out, will do the local show an injus- tice inasmuch as it is but a small affair and can in no way vie with the big September attraction in this city. Other places, putting on wild west shows, have borrowed the name “Round-Up” and have adopted the Round-Up slogan but none have ever been so brazen as deliberately to use the name Pendleton. Clarence Adams, formerly of this county, is staging the Ashland show and is to be assisted by Carl Power of this city. Neither have ever had any oficial connection with the Round-Up. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 13-14, 1966 A Rieth man was in critical condition at St. Anthony Hospital this morning after his car went off a 42-foot embankment near the Eastern Oregon Hospital Sunday, coming to rest on its side across the Union Paciic Railroad tracks. Injured was George Wesley Cain, 24, of Rieth, the sole occupant of the car. Cain was heading toward Rieth on the Rieth Road and was just outside the city limits when he lost control of his car. His vehicle careened down the highway for about 400 feet before it took the plunge off the bank, landing on the railroad tracks. Cain received multiple injuries over most of his body, including severe head injuries. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 13-14, 1991 Eugene police have arrested two Pendleton men suspected in a burglary and two armed robberies of Pendleton businesses in early June. Arrested were Terry D. Thompson, 18, and John E. Colony, 20. Both are currently lodged in the Lane County Jail awaiting trans- port to Pendleton. The two men are suspects in the armed robbery of Big Apple Food Warehouse, 1201 Southgate, which occurred in the early morning of June 4. A sawed-off shotgun was used in that robbery. Both men also are charged with second-degree burglary of Hal’s Hamburgers at 2001 S.E. Court Ave., also on June 4, and are suspected in the June 3 knife-point robbery of a Bonoco station at 1704 S.W. Emigrant Ave. THIS DAY IN HISTORY DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN Today is the 166th day of 2016. There are 200 days left in the year. This is Flag Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, adopted the original design of the Stars and Stripes, specifying a lag containing thirteen red and white stripes and thirteen stars. On this date: In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created. In 1801, former Amer- ican Revolutionary War general and notorious turn- coat Benedict Arnold died in London. In 1922, Warren G. Harding became the irst president heard on radio, as Baltimore station WEAR broadcast his speech dedi- cating the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry. In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, ruled 6-3 that children in public schools could not be forced to salute the lag of the United States. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure adding the phrase “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1972, the Environ- mental Protection Agency ordered a ban on domestic use of the pesticide DDT, to take effect at year’s end. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Marla Gibbs is 85.
