Today in History Cyrill Demian received a patent for a new fangled musical instrument he called the accordion in 1829 in Vienna-the polka would never be the same. The Canadian Parliment established the North-West Mounted Police in 1873-you guessed it, it later became the RCMP. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow died in a hail of bullets in Black Lake, Louisiana in 1934. And in 2006, astronauts onboard the Space Station noticed a plume of smoke in a remote part of the Aleutian Islands-stratovolcano Mt Cleveland had erupted again, but it threatened nobody.
