Last evening he was the unanimous choice of his mates for captain of Troop D, Second Squadron, O.N.G. at the election held in the city hall. No other offi- cers were elected, the regulations giving the captain the power to appoint his lieutenants and non-commissioned officers. Captain Caldwell has as yet made no appointments but there is a general belief that he will appoint James F. Cooke, formerly a sergeant in Troop A, as first lieutenant. Dell Blancett is considered as one of the strong probabilities for second lieutenant. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 29-30, 1967 Area lawmen and students in the police science department at Blue Mountain Community College had to solve a mock murder Friday. The dastardly crime took place near the Pendleton Lawmen’s gun club. The mock murder was put on by BMCC and the FBI, compete with victim, witnesses, villain and even a nosy reporter who made things difficult for the lawmen during their investigation. Three teams of 11 investigators worked on the case. The murder serves as a final exam for BMCC student Lewis Parent here. The investigation was a success and the culprit arrested. State police, sheriff’s officers and the city police department assisted in staging the murder. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 29-30, 1992 Record-setting coach Don Requa, who directed Pendleton High School football teams for 36 seasons, has been named to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, a source in Port- land close to the Hall of Fame said Thursday. Requa, who died in 1987, a year after retiring as Pendleton coach, will be among 10 people inducted into the Hall of Fame at its annual banquet in Portland Aug. 1. Most of Requa’s coaching career was spent in Pendleton, where he led his teams to 24 Intermountain Conference championships and 25 state playoff appearances, advancing to the state semifinals six times.
