DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 14, 1917 A real glimpse of Indian life was afforded the visiting newspapermen and women yesterday when they were taken to the Cayuse encampment in automobiles, and the glimpse was not exactly that which was programmed either. The committee had intended that their guests should see the Indians in their tribal dances and, while they did see dancing, they also saw what was much more interesting, the working of the Indian nature. The committee was under the impression that it had so arranged things that the newspaper people would be welcome at the big celebration of the tribesmen. However, it seems that negoti- ations had been carried on through a channel that was not effective. At least it became evident very soon that the Indians were not at all pleased at the intrusion of the whites at their festivities. This eventually developed into a pow-wow and much parleying and speech-making before the leaders of the tribes could be brought to the view the visit of the editorial folk in a friendly light. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 14, 1967 Cindy Leonnig, 10-year-old organ player, will not be playing for a while. She tripped in a hole in the yard of the family home in Heppner Monday and fell. She did not tell her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Leonnig, that she was hurt, and only because her mother heard her crying in the night was she taken to a doctor Tuesday. X-rays showed she had broken her lower left arm. It will be in a cast for about three weeks. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 14, 1992 Tina Taylor started with an idea, several cans of paint and the blank wall on Fern Simmons’ carport. A couple of days later, the 14-year-old had created Pendleton’s newest historical mural. The newest mural faces the river and is easily spotted by pedestrians and bike riders on the River Parkway. Taylor, an aspiring cartoonist who spends “too much time” doodling and drawing, received her inspiration from Simmons, who wanted a mural depicting a scene from an Indian’s dream. “I wanted a mural that showed the way it used to be before the white man messed it all up,” Simmons said. BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 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 195th day of 2017. There are 170 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 14, 1789, in an event symbolizing the start of the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside. On this date: In 1798, Congress passed the Sedition Act, making it a federal crime to publish false, scandalous or malicious writing about the United States government. In 1881, outlaw William H. Bonney Jr., alias “Billy the Kid,” was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in Fort Sumner in present-day New Mexico. In 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1917, CBS newsman Douglas Edwards, who in 1948 became network television’s first nightly news anchor, was born in Ada, Oklahoma. In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massa- chusetts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.) In 1933, all German polit- ical parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed. Cartoon character Popeye the Sailor made his movie debut in the Fleischer Studios animated short, “Popeye the Sailor.” In 1945, Italy formally declared war on Japan, its former Axis partner during World War II. In 1958, the army of Iraq overthrew the monarchy. In 1966, the city of Chicago awoke to the shocking news that eight student nurses had been brutally slain during the night in a South Side dormitory. Drifter Richard Speck was convicted of the mass killing and condemned to death, but had his sentence reduced to life in prison, where he died in 1991.

Thought for Today: “If the government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take away everything you have.” — President Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006).
