DAYS GONE BY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 1, 1916 Eager for more recruits, Private Fred Erskine of Co. E of Grangeville, Idaho, is in Pendleton today and will remain here for two or three days. He is a special recruiting oficer for the adjutant general of Idaho and will probably go on to northern Idaho from here. Co. E is the same company in which 26 Pendletonians recently enlisted and it was at their request Private Erskine stopped over here. Private Erskine brings the news that the Idaho troops will probably leave for El Paso, Texas, next Tuesday. All the Pendleton men are in ine spirits, he states, and are eager for active service.

Casper Paulson, administrator of Good Shepherd Hospital, says most hospitals antic- ipate a 5 percent increase in patient care at the outset of the program. Some hospitals, he said, have indicated they anticipate an increase up to 25 percent in the patient load. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 1, 1991 A Pendleton man and his daughter were hospitalized after being attacked in their home early Monday morning. Police arrested Facundo P. Garza, 28, on burglary and assault felony charges shortly after the attack at the Pendleton Square Apartments. Kimber Smith- hart, 20, called Pendleton police at 12:24 a.m. Monday, reporting that two men had broken into the apartment and were assaulting her father. “It was not a random situation. The suspects were apparently looking for someone else, members of the victim’s family,” said Ed Taber, Pendleton police chief. Joseph Smith- hart, 62, was knocked down and struck several times with a baseball bat. When police oficers arrived, the suspects had already left the scene in a car. Police arrested Garza shortly thereafter at Southwest Hailey Avenue and S.W. 28th St. The other suspect was not in the car, but police knew who he was and were hunting for him.
