The armed merchant cruiser HMS Bayano was sunk off of Scotland by the U-27.  Only 26 men survived.

The German auxiliary cruiser SMS Prinz Eitel put in at Newport News for internment.  It's engines were worn out from raiding in the Pacific and South Atlantic.  After the U.S. entered the war she was refitted as a troop ship and used by the U.S.

Thursday, February 25, 1915. The Cottonwood Bluff War.

Lorenzo Creel, Colonel Michie, General Scott, Marshal Nebeker, Old Polk, Jeff Posey, Chief Posey, Tse-ne-gat, A.B. Apperson.

Paiutes and Utes exchanged gunfire with a  posse at Cottonwood Bluff, Utah.  The battle arose when a posse came to arrest Ute Tse-ne-gat who had been accused of murdering a Hispanic shepherd.  Paiutes made the accusation.

The arrest went immediately wrong and both Piautes and Utes resisted.  The war would be negotiated to a peaceful end by Gen. Hugh L. Scott.  Tse-ne-gat was tried in Denver, and found innocent of the charges. Tse-ne-gat died, age 39, of tuberculosis eleven years after the trial. Ute and Paiute chiefs, Polk and Posey, who participated in the war, went to the Ute Reservation in Colorado but found themselves unwelcome there, which is not surprising to those familiar with Ute history.  The returned to a subsistence lifestyle and combined it with cattle rustling.  A second armed outbreak would result in 1923.

The Royal Navy continued bombarding Ottoman seaforts in the Dardanelles.

The Ottomas removed ethnic Armenians from their armed forces.

Saturday, August 14, 1909. Rainbow Bridge.

The location of Rainbow Bridge, the world's largest natural ridge, was disclosed by Jim Mike (1872–1977), a Paiute Indian, to William B. Douglas of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.


Amazing to think it had been disclosed so late.

The first motor race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway took place.  It was a motorcycle race sanctioned by the Federation of American Motorcyclists.
