Ho is in no condition to play , and probably will not ba atrain this season , at acy rato. Players have learned pretty thorougly that there is no bulldozing Umpire Tim Hurst. What Tim says , goes , every time , without any back talk. St. Joe has been playlcg rotten ball. The papers explain this fact in ono word "beer. " The papers are right they've a great old lushing team down there. Chicago has not used Hutchinson la the box lutely. The cause , it in rumored , that the swarthy Cedar Rapids twirler hud a falling out with Anson. Mains , St. Paul's elongated twirler , made a great recoi d for himself the other day. He gave thirteen men bases on balls , hud five wild Ditches , and hit two men. Pitcher Krock. formerly with the Chicago cage and Indianapolis National league clubs , has signed with Milwaukee , and will pitch in their game to-day with Dos Moinos. Grand Rapids , Mich. , would llko to take Sioux City's place in the Western associa tion , but the Western association has too many burgs of Grand Rapids' strlpoalready. They are still talltlnp down in Kearney about the homo team's victory over Mil waukee. The Ouiahas play there next Friday , and they expect to take their scalps , too. , The sale of John Barnes' Interest In the St. Paul club to Mike Roche Is all a bluff. Barnes still holds his stock , and instead of receiving $15,000 for It , ho couldn't got ? 2GOO. Bobby Blao' : , late of Wilkesbarro , has surocd u bioux City contract. The Indians' outlleld , which is composed of Glenn , Black and Cllno , is second to no no in the Western association. PIckott's arm gets worse instead of better , and ho is not likely to play much this season. Ho got wet and caught cold in his arm dur ing an exhibition fame in Indiana on the c'.ub's lust eastern trip. There is considerable Ill-fooling between the Omaha and bt. Joe players , owing to their freely expressed opinions of ouch other. Chippoy MeG'irr , who was always treated nicely here , seems to bo the premier ugi- tutor. Manager Watklns has asked Catcher Gun- son to go to the St. Joseph club , to bo hold In reserve for the Kansas City club. Gunny rsfusod to go , saying that ho would prefer to bo released outright , und Gunny's head is level. Very few newspapers are publishing the sacrifice-hit column in their base bull scores , notwithstanding that the rules demand it , und the fact that sacrifice hits uro' us potent a factor in averages us bona lido hits , A base ball score Is .incomplete and unsatis factory with this column omitted. Tbo Corn Huskers and the Ornabas at the local pant again this afternoon. It will bo a great game , as both teams are nn their mot tle , and anxious to take the ball , The usual tremendous Sunday crowd will bo present und It wouldn't bo a bad idea to go out ourly and got u good seat. Ted Sullivan is making a handsome Income dealing In the purchase and sale of ball play ers. Ho was la this city all last week en * deavoring to secure ut least an option on Crooks , Clarke , Nagle and Nichols. The Washington league club wants Crooks , Brooklyn wants Naglo und Clarke , and Col umbus and Cincinnati , Nichols. Thora will have to bo a stop put to the per nicious practice of loaning plavora sooner or later , or disastrous results in more ways than ono will be the consonuonco. Players have the power to remedy this matter them selves. They should refute to bo farmed out , but demand their unconditional relcuso whenever such u proposition is made , Centlo Francisco Solco's usual placid countenance- wears u smile us broad and deep us that of u colored camp meeting con vert tackling a watermelon. The grand strides of the White Sox ponnnnUvurd are liable to muko the genial manager crack his face beyond repair , and a defeat to-day is all that cun avert such a d has tor.

[ Special to Tin : Bni : . ] The frequent visits of the Omaha , Otoo and Pawnee Indiana to Milford with their sick during the early settlement of that borough and their encampment in a plcturosquo bond of the river just opposite the Lith ium springs gave rise to many in quiries. By persistent efforts on the part of the editor of the Blue Valley Record , the lirst paper of Milford , the olio wing legend was elicited , and has never before boon published , owing to the absence of ono link that lias but re cently been supplied : Many years ago the Otoos and Pawnees - noes wore united under ono or ganization , and presided over by a wise chieftain by the name of Quonchaqua. Under his leadership happiness and prosperity reigned. The Omalias be came their strongallics.iuid they waged successful war on the murderous Sioux nd Choyonnes when occasion required , nnd that was quite frequently , for the braves of the last named tribe , who oc cupied vast tracts to the west and north west , gave chase to the herds of BulTalo , us those animals made their regular visits to the Salt Basin8. Quench aqua mid a daughter , TUB KAIHEST AND 11158T of the pruirlo flowers , wjiich entitled her to the name of Shogo. The troph ies of the chase adorned her wigwam. None were more attentive to her than the young chieftains , Kolhnmn , of the Pawnees and Popotno , of the Otocs , The rivalry bred discore. Fair Shogo decided that Popotno was good , but Kolhamu was far hotter , and in this comparative jift&Qinont the aged chief tain coincided , Then a division of ter ritory became necessary. The Otoos wore given the territory east of the river , whobo waters flowed to the north ward , and the Pawnees a broad expanse of territory west of the river flowing to the southward , while tlio prairie between - twoon remained neutral. A union of forces became necessary to repel in- vasiou und BO continued until the death of Quonolmqua , which must have boon prior to the time when Coronado wont in search of the Seven Cities of Glboln. After several years cntrangomont , Popotno sent a swift messenger to Kollmma to request him to meet tlio Otoos in council nt the Salt Licks for an adjustment of dilllcultios. Tlio Pawnee ohioftuln. over ready to reunite with his bravo allies , obeyed the ro- quobt and together with u few of his .wise counselors wended their way to wards the rising sun to the appointed place.
