Rockefeller and Carnegie golf feud rumored after match
A circulation story claims John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie fell out after a nine hole game at Pocantico.

The two billionaires reportedly have not spoken since the match. In Plymouth, Elizabeth H. Barry, 12, sues Wilby Stevens for 50000 for injuries from a falling ice block in 1905, claiming possible trespass or highway rider status. The case proceeds to the Supreme Court.
