Morning Oregonian September 25, 1904
Hardy Durham Stricken Just After He Stabled His Favorite Horse.
New York,Sept.24- Hardy B.Durham,a well known horseowner and trainer,dropped 
dead at Sheepshead  Bay racetrack.He had just stabled his favorite 
horse,Dekaber,after watching the animal at work on the track.
A strange coincidence was connected with the horseman's sudden ending.Last 
Saturday at Brighton Track Dekaber won the race,beating Ostrich in a close 
finish.When the latter animal was led back to the stable at Sheepshead,the 
foreman,Gus Hanan,asked the stableboy if he had won. Learning that the 
horse,upon which he had wagered a large sum,had been beaten by Dekaber,Hanan 
threw up his arms and fell dead.
