Sheriff Taylor has been on their trail for almost a month and only returned Sunday from a chase of a week which took him as far as Burns. The two men had gone farther than he had expected and were with a sheep outfit when arrested by Sheriff Ben Brown. Brown wanted them for the theft of two horses and saddles near Beulah on August 2. Their operations in this county began right after the Round-Up. They are alleged to have stolen two or more horses from T.P. Gilliland of Pilot Rock, saddles, bridles and chaps from the Westgate ranch and 17 horses from Anton Vey. When arrested they had only four horses with them and on these the brands had been worked over. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 30-31, 1967 Last week Bob Spiekerman, manager of the Pendleton Sanitary Service, awarded retiring Pendleton fire chief Blackie Batch- BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN elor free life-time garbage service. Well, this morning the Pendleton Sanitary Service went to the Pendleton Fire Department to put out a fire. Some coals were burning in the back of the garbage truck and someone called to alert the fire department. The truck rolled down Court Avenue and turned right on Tenth and into the fire station lot. Firemen were waiting with hoses to give the truck a drive-in wash job. It wasn’t the kind of garbage service Spiekerman meant. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 30-31, 1992 If you’re looking for a microcosm of presi- dential thinking this election season, morning coffee clubs in Pendleton and Hermiston likely are as good a place to look as any. Hermiston Mayor Frank Harkenrider tries to hit a couple of coffee clubs each morning, first at Hale’s Tavern downtown — the “youth center” — and later down the street at another gathering. Pendleton Mayor Joe McLaughlin is part of the 10 o’clock faithful that gathers weekdays at the Rainbow Cafe, Pendleton’s famous downtown eatery and watering hole. The talk over coffee in both towns seems a lot like that on television and newspapers around the country — some people are adamant in their support, other begrudging but convinced, and others still undecided. THIS DAY IN HISTORY Today is the 304th day of 2017. There are 61 days left in the year. This is Halloween. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther sent his 95 Theses denouncing what he saw as the abuses of the Catholic Church, especially the sale of indulgences, to the Arch- bishop of Mainz, Germany (by some accounts, Luther also posted the Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg), marking the start of the Protestant Refor- mation. On this date: In 1795, English poet John Keats was born in London. In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state as President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation. In 1926, magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix. In 1941, the Navy destroyer USS Reuben James was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Iceland with the loss of some 100 lives, even though the United States had not yet entered World War II. Work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, begun in 1927. In 1956, Navy Rear Adm. George J. Dufek and six others became the first air travelers to set foot at the South Pole. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu took the oath of office as the first president of South Vietnam’s second republic. In 1975, the Queen single “Bohemian Rhapsody” was released in the United Kingdom by EMI Records. In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikh (seek) security guards. In 1992, Pope John Paul II formally proclaimed that the Roman Catholic Church had erred in condemning the astronomer Galileo for holding that the Earth was not the center of the universe. In 1994, a Chicago-bound American Eagle ATR-72 crashed in northern Indiana, killing all 68 people aboard. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Lee Grant is 92. Former astronaut Michael Collins is 87.
