MORE COOL STUFF in TODAY IN HISTORY
1876: Wild Bill Hickok was shot from behind while playing poker in Deadwood, South Dakota by Jack McCall. McCall was later hanged. Hickok was holding what has become known as the "Deadman's Hand," aces and eights.
1908: A phantom city of assorted houses in different architectural styles was seen for three hours in Ballyconnelly on the west coast of Ireland. Similar apparitions had been seen in that region in 1796, 1797 and 1801.
1923: President Warren G Harding dies suddenly in San Francisco. The First Lady did not permit an autopsy, and the president's body was embalmed soon after death. It is speculated by many that the death, officially listed as "apoplexy," was poison administered by Mrs. Harding.
On this day: Feast Day of St Basil the Blessed, a shoe-maker's apprentice who went about Moscow naked, taking goods from the shops to give to the destitute. It was said he rebuked the Czar, Ivan the Terrible. He died in Moscow in 1552.
