TRYING TO SELL COLONIES
Dreyfuss and Pulliam Of Louisville Out
skirmishing for Buyer
RECEIVE OFFER FROM HART OF CHICAGO
Louisville Men Leave for PittsburE
TO Open Negotiations - Chicago
Oner wns Not satisfactory
Figures kept Secret

CHICAGO. Dec 7.-President Barney
Dreyfuss and Secretary Harry Puliam OF
the Louisville Base Ball club today called on
President Hart of the Chicago team and
made an offer to sell the Louisville club to
Chicago. President Hart refused to pay the
sum asked, but made the visitors an offer
The meeting was secret and neither side was
willing to say what we're the figures named
by either.
At o'clock the Louisville men left for
Pittsburg, where the negotiations will be
resumed for some sort OF deal between
Louisville and Pittsburg which may result
in the consolidation Of the strong players
In a team that will represent Pittsburg.
Concerning his offer President Hart said:
IL need only say the sum / offered for the
Louisville players was equal to the Louis
willie clubs entire share Of receipts at its
home grounds last season. ! offered also to
make exchanges Of players as well as a cash
bonus. ! am not much afraid of anyone
making a bid in excess OF my own, but my
belief is that Dreyfuss expects to effect
some sort of deal with the Pittsburg club.
II he does not do so, we may yet conclude a
deal with him"
President Dreyfuss said
I'VE are investigating to see what is the
best thing that can be done. If we get a
figure for our players that we regard as
satisfactory we will sell and retire from the
league. II we do not we will continue in
the field We have young, hustling team
that is sure to make a good showing in the
race this year. But for the fact that it is so
near the time for the expiration of the ten
year agreement we would not think of
selling out, but as the circuit will be reor-
ganized year after next anyhow we naturally
feel that we must look ahead. We have con-
gII pgfv, Nf ,,1a hoo
have several star men that are sure to bring
a big sum in the market While Baltimore
has some good players, we have more good
men and naturally believe that we will get a
good price if We feel 1t is to our interest to
retire from the game"
President Hart will start for New York
tomorrow.

s. R. CROCKETT,
In 18 installments,
beginning Dec. u.
Illustrated by 6. A. ShipIey.
This novel fully equals The
Stickit Minister" The Black
Douglas" and The Raiders" 1t
could have been written by no
author other than Crockett.

The Isle of the Winds is essentially
a story of adventure. Its hero, Phillip
Stantield, the younger, is kidnapped
by his father Phillip the elder, and
carried from Scotland to the pirates
isle. Phillip the elder, a pirate cap
tain, has murdered his father, Sir
James Stansfeld, and deserted his wife
for Janet Mark, the shameless wife of
Saul Mark, gypsy sailor who is
Stansiield's evil genius. Janet as ac-
complice in the murder of Sir James
is sold into slavery into American
plantations. Phillip Stansfield the
elder also carries off his deserted wife
and Janet's daughter, little Anna
Mark. Both children have been adopt
ed by Humphrey Spurway, a rich Eng
lish cloth merchant, living on the
Stanstield estate. He loves young
Phillips mother but has no hope OF
marrying her. Notwithstanding, he
goes in search of the captiyes as soon
as he discovers their fate.
After months on the pirates isle
they manage to escape from 1t by help
of Ebora, a negro, and his mother, an
Obeah woman. They find refuge in
Porto Rico and there discover the
sometime Janet Mark transformed into
great lady, wife of the Spanish
governor general. She befriends th2m
after a fashion, but cannot save Phillip
from being taken back to the pirate
isle. His father and Saul Mark, routed
by other pirates come to Porto REQ
and persuade the governor general 10
send back an expedition to secure Nor
gan's treasure. The famous buccaneer
has left it in boxes, stuck fast in a
lake of burning pitch. No man could
bring it out of the pitch and live,
hence the plan to make young Phillip
the bringer 1t is frustrated by the
discovery that the lake has become a
volcano. Then the expedition plans
to attack the pirate stronghold and loot
il. Ebora, cent to spy, encourages
the commander and leads him, full OF
confidence, to night assault. The
pirates offer no resistance; they can
not, since they are all hanging on
trees; but English ships and English
sailors rout the expedition utterly
Humphrey Spurway is with the war
ships in a vessel of his own Then
follow briefly the sack Of San Juan,
the death of Phillip Stanslield the elder
and Saul Mark, the rescue OF little
Anna and young Phillips mother, the
voyage home, the recovery of the
estates, and the general knitting of
loose ends. From first to last the ac-
tion is breathless and told with all the
authors fire and force.

Two Policemen Suspended.

Police officers Hydock and Stevens were
suspended from duty last evening, pending
the investigation of the loss of a package
containing money A night or two ago a
man named Scott was arrested for being
drunk and breaking window at Redmond s
saloon. When searched at the jail Scott
had SlS in money and a purse with COM
bination lock. Jailer Hydock was unable
to open the purse and as Scott declined to
do so the pocketbook was placed in ScOtt'S
envelope along with other Valuables taken
from him. After being released from custody
Scott made the statement that the combina>
tion lock purse had been opened and $50
in money abstracted. Assertions of this
kind have made before and in order to clear
up the mystery surrounding this purse the
mayor decided to suspend both the day and
night jailer until the matter is settled. In
similar cases which have been brought TO
the attention OF the public no action in the
courts has ever been taken by those who
made claims OF having been robbed while
incarcerated Referring to this matter the
mayor said last night
Il am tired of having complaints OF this
kind and | propose to put a stop to them.
These two officers have been indefinitely
suspended and | viii not renstate them

talked with Scott and his attorney today
and Scott admitted that he refused to open
the purse in order that his money might
be counted This matter is going to be fully
investigated, as l propose getting at the
facts"
Continuing his honor said that he was
seriously considering the advisablity OF
having the iaiers placed under surety
bonds in order to relieve him of RESPONSE
bulty in case such things occur in the fu-
ture.

It is with sincere sorrow and sympa-
thy that we record the death of Mrs.
w. o. Goldschmidt, nee Martha Dam
mann. Mrs. Goldschmidt had been
sick for some time and the fact that
her little boy was also sick at the time,
made her illness doubly distressing.
She leaves a husband and q little boy
of three to miss her love and care. Mrs.
Goldschmidt was not quite twenty-five
years of age. She had proven a loyal,
loving helpmate to her husband. The
remains were taken to her former home
at Walcott, Iowa, this afternoon for
