player In the Western association , bolus
eighteen years of ago. Ezra Button is the
oldest.
Phelnn has been laid off permanently by
DCS Moincs. 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.
Danny Shannon lias been made manager of
the Loulsvllk's , Danny was uu old tuvoritu
Mr. A. D. Brandois , while In Now

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

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

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

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

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

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

of Quonolmqua , which must have boon

After several years cntrangomont ,
Popotno sent a swift messenger to
