DAYS GONE BY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 10-11, 1919 After examining 18 witnesses in the case against Luther Baldwin, Cabbage Hill res- ident charged by his two young sons with extreme cruelties and threats to kill, County Judge C.H. Marsh yesterday took the case under advisement and probably will hand down a decision upon his return from Port- land later this week. The boys, one 14 and the other 12, ran away from home recently after, they alleged, the father had threat- ened to shoot them. They hid the shells and went to a neighbor’s home from where they feared to return home. The boys came last week to see District Attorney R.I. Keator and have him file a complaint against their father. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 10-11, 1969 Officials of the Portland Commission Public Docks and the Port of Umatilla are enthusiastic about their chances of attract- ing an “unlimited” amount of military equipment, now being returned from Viet- nam, across the Portland docks and into the 20,000-acre Umatilla Army Depot. Port of Umatilla Manager Walter Peters briefed the Port Commission Monday afternoon on progress that is being made to get the UAD designated as a storage area for war mate- rial from Southeast Asia. He said a barge line and the Union Pacific Railroad, as well as UAD officials and Congressman Al Ull- man are working on the proposal, along with the Portland Commission of Public Docks, Department of Planning and Devel- opment and major Oregon business leaders in the Portland area. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 10-11, 1994 Stanfield Police Officer Butch Parrish can get on with putting his life back together — and hopefully walking again — now that the man who ran him down with a patrol car has been convicted. Damon Petrie was found guilty Thursday of attempted aggra- vated murder and first-degree assault after a half-day trial. The defense contended Petrie did not intend to kill Parrish when he ran him down with a commandeered patrol car on Feb. 15. But Circuit Court Judge Richard Courson didn’t buy it. TODAY 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 On June 11, 2001, Tim- othy McVeigh, 33, was exe- cuted by injection at the fed- eral prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the 1995 Okla- homa City bombing that killed 168 people.

In 1962, three prisoners at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay staged an escape, leav- ing the island on a makeshift raft; they were never found or heard from again. In 1970, the United States presence in Libya came to an end as the last detachment left Wheelus Air Base. (The anniversary of this event is celebrated as a holiday in Libya.) In 1986, the John Hughes comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” starring Matthew Broderick, was released by Paramount Pictures.
