URL of article: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/publicat/history/full-text/NH1972Chadron_Race.pdf Date: 6/22/2011 Article Summary: Horse racing was a popular sport of the American West. As preparations were made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its emphasis upon American accomplishments and customs, it was not surprising that someone suggested a horse race from the West to Chicago. The ride was designed to pit skilled Western horsemen against each other over a one thousand-mile route spanning the three states of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This article presents the planning, the promotion, the opposition, and the story of the actual race. Cataloging Information: Names: A C Putnam, N H Weir, William

  • Game #29 – San Jose (16-8-1-3) Vs. Tucson Roadrunners (15-8-4-0)
    San Jose Barracuda: Media Notes Game #29 – San Jose (16-8-1-3) vs. Tucson Roadrunners (15-8-4-0) Saturday, January 7, 2017 1:15 PM PST, SAP Center, San Jose, Calif. Afternoon Matchup: After suffering a 3-1 loss on Friday night, the San Jose Barracuda look to get back on track as the Tucson Roadrunners make their first ever trip to SAP Center. After winning four-straight games from Dec. 20 to Dec. 28, the Roadrunners have now lost three straight including a 3-2 overtime loss to the Stockton Heat on Friday. Special Group: The San Jose Barracuda killed off both Milwaukee power-play tries on Friday night and still sit atop the AHL on the penalty kill (87.9%). The Barracuda also rank within the top five in the league on the power play. On Wednesday, the Barracuda matched a season high with three power-play tallies and went 1-for-2 on Friday. San Jose is ranked third in the AHL on the man advantage (27.2%). All-Star Nods: On Thursday the AHL announced that Barracuda Goaltender Troy Grosenick and rookie Forward Danny O’Regan had been named to the 2017 All-Star game, which will take place in Lehigh Valley at the end of the month. Grosenick is having a career campaign in his fourth season as a pro, posting a 9-6-1 record in 20 games played. The Brookfield, WI, native leads the AHL in shutouts (5), is T-14th in wins, fourth in save percentage (.928) and fifth in goals-against average (2.12).

  • Eusapia, with Her Bent Index Finger, Strikes a Few Blows on the Wood of the Table
    "Eusapia, with her bent index finger, strikes a few blows on the wood of the table. Like a distant echo comes a knocking in response. The experiment is renewed by several of those who form part of the chain. After that, at the request of the medium, I cut off the electricity. The room is plunged into a reddish twilight favorable to supernatural visitations. The table is again moving. It taps with one of its legs on the floor. One, two, three, four, five. 'That means that there is still too much light, someone explains.' 'No, it is merely to attract attention,' murmurs a lady sitting near me. "John is coming," Says another person present. "John" is the unknown who is Eusapia's familiar spirit. In the past six months five dogs have fallen to their death off a bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland. This fact does not seem to be disputed. What is controversial is whether or not the dogs fell because they committed suicide. In the most recent case a woman claims that she was out walking her dog when it suddenly ran away from her "vaulted over the parapet and plunged 40ft to its death." Some animal behaviorists are dismissing the notion that suicide was the cause of the dogs' deaths, arguing that dogs never commit suicide. Personally, I'm not sure what to think. I did once hear about a dog who was so despondent after its master died that it walked out to a train track and lay there until a train ran it over. However, I'll concede that this story may be an urban legend because I can't remember where I heard it.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 28, 2014 Sharks-Sabres Preview By Nicolino DiBenedetto Associated Press February 28, 2014 The San Jose Sharks picked up where they left off before the Olympic break. Joe Pavelski is glad he didn't. Pavelski looks to build on a hat trick, as the Sharks attempt to beat the last-place Buffalo Sabres for the first time in four years Friday night. San Jose (38-16-6) has won four of five after routing Philadelphia 7-3 on Thursday in its first game in 20 days. The Sharks were outshot 10-5 and trailed 2- 1 after one period before outscoring the Flyers 5-0 in the second. "We didn't have a lot of purpose in our game in the first period, especially in their zone," coach Todd McLellan said. "Kind of skating around waiting for something to happen. We got our forecheck going in the second (and) a lot more pucks to the goaltender, which created second and third chances." Pavelski made his chances count Thursday, scoring on all three of his shots in the second period for his second hat trick of the season. The outburst also came after he had one goal in eight games prior to joining the United States in Sochi. "They were just going in," said Pavelski, who is tied with Toronto's Phil Kessel for second in the league with 32 goals. "Life is good. Hopefully they keep coming." That hasn't been the case against the Sabres (17-34-8), as Pavelski has three goals in seven career meetings and none in the past four.
