8 THE OMAHA DAILY J3EE , JTHUKSUAY. AUGUST 13 , 181)1. ) SHERWOOD'S ' SCARED SLAVES , Membjrs of Iho Colored Boys' Band Obey Their Master. THEY TESTIFIED AS HE TOLD THEM , Tlio CJIRO on Trial In Police Court thai Were Hoard by tlio olKliliorHOther Local Ncu H. Evangelist Sherwood marched hU llttlo band up.fncksoii street to the police station nt'M \ ) : o'clock this morning with horns blow- Ini ; and drums beating ns If ho seriously meditated a tilmrgo on the place and 113 occu pants. Ho stopped In front of the police court room and the racket was BO great that all proceedings woio stopped until Judge Hels- loy ordered Court Ofilcor ICoyser to RO out and put a stop to It. Koyser did stop It with out any rcKard to the music , and it broke off In the middle of ,1 bar as suddenly as if a cyclone had happened along. "Whatever doubt miiy hnvo existed regard ing the mult of the man Sherwood , In his al leged Inhuman troitmcntof tba little colored slaves who are being carted over the country to make a llxlng for him , was speedily dlssi paled In the minds of the crowd of police- court spectators who heard the testimony of the little boy , Laivano Mitchell , when tuo case was called for trial. After several witnesses had testified to hearing the blows Inflicted by Sherwood last Tuesday afternoon nnd the bugging and pleading of the llttlo follows while the "Hov. Dr. " continued to shower heavy blows thick anil fast upon them , Mitchell was placed upon the stand. Isol- wlthstanding the fact that less than half an hour lioforo when called out of Sbcwood's picscncc bo bad told the prosecuting attor ney of the brutal treatment accorded the boys ; that ho wanted to get ax'.ny and go inino to Now Orleans ; that Sherwood had agreed to kcou him' awav only two months , and that ho was afraid to even ask Sherwood to take him homo , } ot when placed on the atnnd with the defendant Sherwood silting but a few feet iway ana almost in fiout of him , ho swore that he wanted to slay with Sherwood as long ns ho lived ; Uiat ho was whipped on the day In question for ndsbo > - having on the street ; tli.it lie was only struck once , and that another boy was struck twice nnd iinother three times ; Clint the instrument of punishment was a little strap , and that the lilow-H did net hurt ; that thcro wcro no set earns and no crying ; that the boys moiuly nsltcd "Ur. " Sherwood's pardon ; thit this was the only whipping bo had given them : that Sherwood never said anything about taking him home in two months ; that the boys were well fed and nicely clothed nnd ulndly t tented ; that ho was taken fiom a house of refuge and was being brought up to say his pra.vers every night nnd bo a nice Christian gentleman. According to his slato- monlBSherwood was Iho verv personlllcalion of goodness ; In luct an archangel out on a vacation , and they wore the most blessed beln ITS on earth to bo permitted to travel along in his company Although the boy had been questioned by the defendant's lOiiiisel In full view ot a score of spectators after the prosecuting attorney had gotten thiough with him just bofoio the case was called , jet ho suoro on thu stnijd that such was not the case and that neither Slier- wood or his attorney had spoken to him. Ho was rcpenlodiy asked about It , yet clung to Ins original story tenaciously. This was what satisfied the spectators be yond any question that the boy was tolling what hud been thoroughly diilled into him , nnd what had to bo maintained or suffer some niULh dieaded penalty.

Hro many days some ono will bo called before - fore the captain nnd asked lo explain why thcro was ift money In the county to pay oft the $153,000 Of railtoud In Id go bonds that became - came duo July 1. As ii well known , twenty jcars ago Doug las county voted filO.OOU of 7 per cent bonds to aid In the construction of Iho railroad btldo over the river between Omaha nnd Council Bluffs. The taxp.i\crs realized that their taxes had been high , but they registered no kick , supposing that a portion of the levy was for the purpose of creating a sinking fund lo pay oK Iho Indebtedness. However , they wcro con f ion ted with a sur prise n few \\cu-ks ago when Tin : Br.i : furnished Iho Information that tuo bonds wore duo and that there was but S7OJ'J.41 ' In the bond and slutting fund to liquidate ndobt of $1.13,000. The commissioners mndo n lame explana tion by stating thai they supposed the bonds wcro duo January 1 , Ib'JJ , instead ol July 1 , IS ! ) I. I.The The explanation w.u taken for what It was worth , and but lltllo was sftid , while Iho commissloncis attempted to refund for another twenty > onrs. An exam ination of the records of the coun ty ofllcers disclose some startling'facls and n thorough investigation will bo dcmaiiilod by Iho Heal Estnto Owners' association. Tills investigation will show that for j ears the commissioners have Juggled with Iho funds ; that the bond fund has been lobbed light and left nnd that Instead of using the money for ono pur pose , it has been used lor all mirposcs except that for which it was Intended. The records show Unit prior to IS70 the sinking fund was kept Intact , but since then thcro tnvo boon acts committed that must bo explained. Januaiy 1 , 1S70 , thcro was n balance of $ . ! S.4)1 ( ) .U on li. > id in Iho bond sinking fund. IJuinig the year th 10 was collected and added to the amount the sum of $ ' . ) " , "iTli.21. " This witnessed the lobhingof Peter to pay Pf.nl. Bv a resolution adopted by the county board § 1,700 of this money was transferred to county rod and orldge fund ; $ > ,000 was put Into county general fund and $10 , 1'M..Hivis ; used for paving wariants. In lb"7 tin bum of ? .llb l.24 was collected ; this together with the $ .2l..U'i. . ' > 7 on hand fiom liner jrnrs was nsnd to pay coupons mid redeem bonds. The balance was com pletely wiped out nnd icmaincd so until IsT'J ' , when $ .17,5 1. lib was collected. Of this amount $ , i4,4i < ( i 'JO was used lor paying coupons and $ .UU7.2l transferred to the general fund. In IbsO Hie Ircasurer collected $14,071.81 of the levy made for u slu king fund to redeem bonds , but instead of the money being used for that purpose , the books show that war rants In tlio sum of $ . ! s.)7J.10 were redeemed. There was loft in the treasury $ r > ,9" > l.ll. ) This baMnco was cairlcd on and In Ibbl the sum of $4l.aU.7S was collected , when anolbor raid was made and warrants for SJ'.I.OJI.IiO drawn airninst the fund. This loft n balunco ot$10Ml.iU. ( : The next year , however , all balances were bowl , ' 0,4H.1Sr w T Ker ? ! tfrto0& eral fund ; $ JOI'.40 ) to the road fund ; J.,718.'JS to the court bouso fund , and the balance , $40lbO , was us > ed for paying warrants , At tbo beginning of IbSil there was not a dollar in sight , out that year the treasurer collected JT.-'JiS ( > 0 , of which sum $41M.VJO : was used for paving wauants. During Iho year 18b4 & 3VJG0.21 was col lected and the fund ntraln depleted by having warrants for $43,013 drawn against , the bal ance. In 1SS5 , $ , " > ( ) , r > 31.4l was collected , but instead of being used in the lcgimato way warrants were drawn against the balance und $11 , .141.50 was disposed of. During IbbO , * T.lb70.in ! ot bridge tax was collected. That your the commissioners weio not satisfied to take the whole amount but wont further nnd took some of jtho balance lhat had been loft over from the previous jcar and drew $ . " > ' . ) , UT.fiT against the fund. In 18S7 the cotnmlssloneis exceeded all former efforts , ns they required two state ments ftom the treasurer. In January thieo uns money In tha fund nnd f43S2I..V. ) co letted prior to July 1. Against tills warrants for $ J7UMbO ( wore drawn. Duiing the last six months of tlio year the tioasurer collected $ HIL'b.l7 , but it did not go to pay oft the bonded indebtedness , ns $ iriUlfl , went out to cancel warrants. The j ear lbb',1as a coed one , as the tax payer * contributed $ iyMll.0 ! ' ; toward paying the bonds. It never paid tiny bonds , how ever , nnd the chances nro that it never will , for of this sum $ .Uir > 7 was used up In puyini : unriants. Coming down nearer to the present date , It Is evident that the commissioners had n mis guided idea and supposed Ihoy hnd money on hand lo pay off Hie mnluring bonds , foV in lbb',1 ' they failed to make anv levy , but not withstanding all of this the county treasurer gathered in * l 1,30 J.70ot bridge bond fund , but itcould not remain in the iroaiurv. Before Iho end of Iho year it was nil p ltd o'ut and moio with it , us during that year warrants , for.Jb- , .111 71 wcro diawn against the fund. The year Ib'.K ) was even worse , as only the sum of ii,0- : ( ) ! ) was collected , but this fact did not stop the raid , nnd warrants for $3,032 were drawn against and paid fiom the bond fund. On January 1 , Ib'Jl theio was a balance of $ ! > , : tH ( IS in the fund and $ l3i'J1.23 ( ' collected prior lo July 1. This would hnvo clven n lotal of $ ! ,05r . 11 on band , but on July 1 , the day on whlcn the SlfiS.OUO of bonds became duo oven this small balance was not on band , a iJKS.OOl bad been drawn out to pay warrants. Thu boolcs of the country treasurer show that the Douglas county people have lioen llboial contribulors and lhat months ago they paid In more than enough money lo have inkon up Iho bonds , They also show Ibnllho funds have been diverted and instead of hav ing $ ! iisooo on bund July I , when the bonds became duo , thoio was only the sum of $ rOJJ ( II with which to cancel the old debt.

Chnncc for Merchant * ! to ICHCnpc Krclcht DlHcrinilnatloiiH. General Agent Nash of the Milwaukee road returned jcstorday from Chicago whore helms been In consultation wltb the manage ment of tno road Mr. Nnsh stated that It had been definitely decided that nothing would bo done , for Iho present with the old "nail works" property. That property was bought by the Hock Island and Milwaukee roads for Joint lisa as a freight house nut ttiero was no necessity for such n fricgbt house nt present as the Union Pnciilc handles all tlio frcicht of both roads under the terms of Iho contract , both Incoming and outgolnir. Mr. Nash also slated that while the prop erty in question might bo largo enough for a freight house for present use It would not answer at all for future years. "Is the admission of the Milwaukee and Hock Island Into Onuha , over Iho bridge , go ing lo have any effect upon Iho dlscriminin- ation against Omaha In the matter of ficlght rates as compared with the rate allowed Council BlulTst" was asked Mr. Nush. " 1 think itill have s ditect bearing upon the matter , " replied Mr Nr.sh. "This ques tion has been before the Western Tr.ifllc a - sociallou for several months , having boon riised by the Om iha merchants , and it is hard to say when a decision will bo reached , nut the merchants miy rest assured that the Milwaukee will do as much for them as any otherioid " It will bo remembered that this Is a question which lias boon agitated bv tno met chants ol this city nnd the 1)0 ) ird of trade for sevcial years. The freight rates , west hound , out of Omaha and Council liluffs , and east bound , into bolh cities , nro tlie same : but east bound latrs out of Omaha mo hiirher than out of Council BlulTs. This places tlio merchants of the BlulTs on the same footing as tlioso in Omaha In supplying the liade in Nebraska , but when it comes to supplying the Iowa trade Ihe Council BlulTs mci chants have the ndvanlageof a lower into limn those of Omaha. One of Iho arguments used by the people of Ihe Bluffs , in their efforts to secure - cure the removal of tbo sii.eltertolhat side of the liver , was tlint ores could he shipped into the Bluffs ut tuu same rate as Uiat Into Omaha , while the rate to the eastern market on bullion was lower fiom the Bluffs than , from Omaha. In thn opinion of those inlcroited in this mutter the advent of the Milwaukee and Hock Island roads into Omaha opans an op portunity for the further agitation of this matter and increases the probabilities of pushing It to a successful issue. With the three roads on an equal footing on the bridge the monopoly enjoved so long by tno Union Pueltic is broken and thcro seems to be no coed reason why the embargo should not bo raised.
