DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 1, 1917 Following a preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon in the justice court, A.D. Grieve and son, Brayton, charged with the larceny of a yearling ewe of J.T. Hoskins, were released, Judge Parkes taking the ground that there was not sufficient evidence produced to warrant holding them to the grand jury. They explained their possession of the ewe by stating that it had been left by Hoskins’ herder, Walter Ogilvy, near their place because of exhaustion and had joined their own band of lambs. Ogilvy was aware of its presence there, they stated, and had been notified that he had better take it away. As for the other sheep in their possession, they produced evidence showing that they had come by them rightfully. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 1, 1967 Drinking, tearing up and messing up a cell in the city jail, and possession of a weapon and lewd photographs cost three young men from Union county $155 plus considerable loss of time because of a short stay in jail.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN Today is the 152nd day of 2017. There are 213 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: It was 50 years ago today — June 1, 1967 — that the Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released, as was David Bowie’s debut album, eponymously titled “David Bowie.” On this date: In 1792, Kentucky became the 15th state. In 1796, Tennessee became the 16th state. In 1813, the mortally wounded commander of the USS Chesapeake, Capt. James Lawrence, gave the order, “Don’t give up the ship” during a losing battle with the British frigate HMS Shannon in the War of 1812. In 1868, James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States, died near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at age 77. In 1917, the song “Over There” by George M. Cohan was published by William Jerome Publishing Corp. of New York. In 1927, Lizzie Borden, accused but acquitted of the 1892 ax murders of her father, Andrew, and her stepmother, Abby, died in Fall River, Massachusetts, at age 66. In 1943, a civilian flight from Portugal to England was shot down by Germany during World War II, killing all 17 people aboard, including actor Leslie Howard. In 1957, Don Bowden, a student at the University of California at Berkeley, became the first American to break the four-minute mile during a meet in Stockton, California, in a time of 3:58.7. In 1977, the Soviet Union formally charged Jewish human rights activist Anatoly Shcharansky with treason. (Shcharansky was impris- oned, then released in 1986; he’s now known by the name Natan Sharansky.) In 1980, Cable News Network made its debut. In 1997, The Chicago Tribune published a make-believe commence- ment speech by columnist Mary Schmich which urged graduates to, among other things, “wear sunscreen” (the essay ended up being wrongly attributed online to author Kurt Vonnegut). Today’s Birthdays: Actor Richard Erdman is 92. Singer Pat Boone is 83. Actor-writ- er-director Peter Masterson is 83. Actor Morgan Freeman is 80. Actor Rene Auberjonois is 77.

Country singer Ronnie Dunn is 64. Actress Lisa Hartman Black is 61. Singer-musician Alan Wilder is 58. Rock musician Simon Gallup (The Cure) is 57.

Actress-writer Amy Schumer (TV: “Inside Amy Schumer”) is 36. Thought for Today: “The past is our only real possession in life. It is the one piece of property of which time cannot deprive us; it is our own in a way that nothing else in life is. In a word, we are our past; we do not cling to it, it clings to us.” — Grace King, American author (1852-1932). PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN BY DANA SIMPSON BIG NATE BY LINCOLN PEIRCE
