CAN'T GET WIENER.
Barney Dreyfus' FIatterins Offer
Jake's Services Not Accepted.

The flattering offer of the Pttsburg
club for Jacob Weimer has not had
the effect for which Barney Dreyfus
had hoped, for the Chicago club has
turned the offer down, with the remark
that twice the amount could not secure
for Pittsburg, the services of the Colts
premier south-paw. Last nights Chi
cago Evening Post in speaking of the
Pittsburg offer, said:
IF Pittsburg swelled it's offer to
$4,000 for Weimer, Chicago would not
dispose of the south-paw."
Regarding the suspension of Pitcher
Weliner, the Post has the following:
president Harry Pulliam of the Ma
tional league, Umpire tombstone and
regular fans please take notice that
Sou'paw Jake Weimer celebrated his
release from the suspension ban of one
week by going onto the slab at the
West Side Park yesterday, defying
Jupiter Pluvius. tying beaneaters in
knots and making the star Boston
pitcher Pittinger, look like an old
minor league, won his game to 0.
"Boston was held to two hits and at
nc time Were the visitors dangerous,
Weimer simply toyed with the Cooley
bunch. Did the rain fall hard enough
to soak the ball, Weimer simply glared
at the horsehide sphere, dried it with
the fire of his indignation. slammed the
curves at the plate until there were
curved streaks in the air-streaks lett
by Boston bats and grooves that We're
burned into the H2O by the speedy
missiles hurled by Weimer.
ut will be recalled that Mr.. Welmer,
who got the worst of the decisions in a
game against Pittsburg, simply be-
cause an umpire had not the gracious
ness to refrain from working when his
mind was too much occupied with prl-
vate affairs to permit him to umpire
up to the standard, was suspended fol-
week by President Pulliam for talk
ing back to this knight of the indica-
tor 1t caused Jake" to miss one
pitching turn, and how he did pour the
hot shells and canister into the
enemys camp when he got back or
the firing line! Weimer's punishment
was too severe, but as it brought VIC
tory to the speedy south-paw, the fans
will forget it.
However. Pitcher Sam Lever, whose
offense was more marked than was
Weimer's-he put his hand on the body
of the umpire during his argument
was suspended for three days, and by
making hard "howl" he got his pay
for the time he was off duty. Bu
Lever was unable to bring victory fol
his club after the suspenion period was
ended. 1t remained for Philippe tt
break the spell of Pittsburg hard luci
that had been running ever since the
pirates lost the series to the Chica'

Prayers to Judge Moon.

Davy Jones, Tommy Flynn and Tom
Hennesy, three of the old time round

couldn't talk fast enough trying to ex-
plain to Judge Moon how they came to

to how quickly they We're going to ge,

their inflated booms for freedom WITH
good stiff sentences they one and all
made a break for the desk for mo-

judge.
Davy Jones, coatless and hatless
was the only lucky one. By promising
to get out of town by walking, even Il
he had to go as far as Boone. Dav!
won his freedom. Whether 1T was
Davy's eloquence, his joke, or a desire
to get rid of him, the judges counte

Davy started hatless and in shir

minutes asking for "sky piece" ant

OLD WARRIOR DEAD
HocHINEY, OLDEST ARAPAHoE IN
DIAN PASSES TO THE HAPPY
HUNTING GROUNDS.
Was Reputed to Be lis Years Old and
Was Held In Great Veneration by
Members of His Tribe - Knew
Secret of Sun Dance.

Hochiney, Old Crow, the oldest Ara
pahoe Indian. has passed to the hap
ply hunting grounds of his race and
| was buried last week with all the GER
emonies of his tribe at Powder Face
on the South Canadian river, Q. I.
Hochiney was reputed to have been
lis years old and many Ottumwans
during visits to Oklahoma have talk
ed with him.
Besides the veneration in which he
was held by members of the tribe be-
cause of his great age, he was also
honored as the high priest Of the Ara
pahoe lodges.
Knew the Sun Dance.
This tribe has a lodge of six degrees
which are as follows: Fox lodge, Star
lodge, Tomahawk lodge, Self-man's
lodge Crazy mans lodge and Dog
Soldiers lodge. The last is the high
est degree. There is still another lodge
or independent branch of the same or
der known as the Sun lodge. 1t was OF
this lodge that Hochinev was sachem
and he knew all the secrets pertaining
to the Sun dance, in which the Indians
fast four days and nights and until pro-
hibited by the government tortured
themselves. In the old days they ey-
en- offered up one of their number as
sacrifice. Hochiney, when he saw he
was going to die, chose White Eyed
Antelope to be his successor and to
him all the secrets of the order were
carefully explained.
FOUGHT in Bloody Battles.
Hochiney is said to have fought in
thirteen of the bloodiest battles of Dor,
der warfare, and although he gained
great reputation as a fighter he was
never wounded. On this account he
was regarded in almost supernatural
light by the other Indians. One OF the
battles in which he engaged with thlr
ty other Arapahoes and army of Chey'
ennes was the battle of the Washita
against General Custer. From this
battle he was one of the very few who
escaped. At another time he led a
band of his tribesmen in pursuit of the
Utes and Was in turn surrounded by
his enemies. All were killed except
Hochiney, who returned bearing two
scalps. He seemed to think more Of
these scalps than any Of his other pos
sessions. for he kept them in leath
err pouch and would never let any one
look at or feel Of them. They were
buried with him.
Wore Scaps in Belt.
| A few years prior to his death Hoch
iney was accustomed at all dances o
his tribe to wear a belt from which
dangled several scalps, two of which
were of long yellow hair. This Sc
aroused the white people in the vicin
ity that they complained to the Indiar
agent. who secured the belt and hae
