Sheriff Loyal Underwood and his
original Arizona Wranglers are
coming to town!
The man who made his Arizona
cowboys the most imitated act in
radio history will bring his origi
nal troupe to the Oasis Theatre in
Hermiston, Sunday, March 11th.
Quite appropriately, "Strawberry
Roan’’ is the name of the picture
on the program and shows that in
vincible bronco buster Ken May
nard, conquering that famous Straw
berry Roan that tossed every other
puncher in the country.
The show is scheduled to start at
2:30 P. M„ Sunday, March 11. In
order to accommodate the record
breaking crowds expected, a contin
uous performance will be shown.
The Arizona Wranglers, led by
the Sheriff in person, will present
on theatre stage the songs and mu
steal numbers that made them fa-
mous over the air and set a new
style in radio entertainment.
It was over station KNX in Hol-
lywood that Sheriff Underwood first
presented The Wranglers. To hun-
dreds of thousands of listeners in
the western part of the United
States such characters as "Uncle
Iron Tail’, ’Slicker’, ’Sleepy,’ ’Nub
bins,’ ‘Dynamite,’ etc., soon became
an important part of every evening.
Representatives from the coun
ties of Morrow, Union, Wallowa,

RICHARD BEASLEY,
PIONEER OF COVERED
WAGON DAYS, DIES
FUNERAL SERVICES AT PRANK
PARLORS FRIDAY.
Thrilling Storie» of Early Pioneer
Days As Told by Mr. Beasley
Recalled by Many.
Richard Beasley, 88, resident of
Hermiston for 12 years, passed away
peacefully while he slept Wednes-
day evening at the Hermiston hos
pital. Funeral services will be held
at 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon at
Prann Funeral Parlors and inter
ment made in the Hermiston ceme
tery. Rev. A. J. Ware, who Is con
ducting services at Helix, will read
the service.
Mr. Beasley had been in failing
health for the past four years but
was never bedfast over any long
period. He made his home with his
daughter Mrs. George Wagner.
Coming from his birthplace in
Scuyler county Missouri, near Lang-
ster, with his parents in 1865, they
reached Oregon with a wagon train
which was conveyed by oxen. When
the 100 wagons and 600 head of
stock reached Fort Corney it was
separated and Mr. Beasley’s parents
went with the wagons taking the
route through Colorado and Utah.
Within six months after they left
Missouri the Beasleys settled at
Pilot Rock. Ore., where the bunch
grass was four feet high at that
time.
Mr. Beasley lived at Pilot Rock
for thirteen years and during that
time he met and married Sarah
Looney. In 1878 they moved to
Moscow. Idaho, where they lived for
24 years. While living there Mr.
Beasley was on a committee to build
two Baptist churches and a par
sonage, for which lumber was haul
ed from Palouse, a distance of 20
miles. The shingles were made by
hand and shaved with a parring
knife.
While living at Moscow Mr. Beas
ley raised wheat and flax which he
hauled to the Wawai landing on the
Snake river, a distance of approxi
mately thirty miles, and he general
ly marketed his bacon hogs in
Walla Walla in order to trade them
for provisions.
In October, 1931, Mr. Beasley took
his first airoplane ride while the
Umatilla Project fair was in prog
ress here.
Mr. Beasley has related many
thrilling stories of his experiences
while crossing the plains, and these
will remain as pleasant memories to
many people to whom he had relat
ed his stories.
He Is survived by one sister, Mrs.
N. W. Haun of Centralia, Wn., one
brother, W. B. Beasley of Hermis
ton; and the following children:
Mrs. Geo. Wagner, Hermiston; Mrs.
Earl Wilson and Mrs. R. G. Gale of
Vancouver, Wn.; Mrs. Chester Har
ris, Hermiston; Mrs. Geo. Harris,
