Ills Comrade Kicitcmetil
Iu the Subufln.
At the llttlo town of Hanger , In fnrawny
Texns , there li n white-haired ola lady who
Is watching ana waiting for the return of an
only son , a young man who will never r.galn
look Into her sweet face nnd receive the
motherly kiss upon his lips. That boy Is
now battling with death , and in a few aliort
hours at the longest ho will have Joined
the throng beyond the iUrk river In that
realm from whence no traveler has yet
returned ,
That boy , the idol of a hnnpy home , has
fallen the victim to the bullet of the mid
night assassin and Ills Ufa Is slowly but
BUrely ebbing away as ho tosses about on a
hard couch In a small room In the Held hotel
in the little suburb of Valley.
Last Saturday Louis McPherson , a man 21
ycars.pf age , was In the strength ntjd vigor
of manhood , but now ho Is hovering between
life and death , lying In an unconscious con
dition , with his hours numbered.
Sorao ten days ago lie appeared In Valley ,
where ho said that ho was looking for work.
Uolng industrious ho soon found work In the
country husldng corn for some of the
farmers. Saturday morning he was paid off
nnd wont to town , during the day forming
the acquaintance of Oliver Dale , an old man
who hud also been husking corn und who
had finished his job and was In town waitIng -
Ing for another opportunity to , * again go
into the country.
Too 1'oor to Iluy Fuel.
Durlnc the afternoon the two men became
quite friendly , taking their meals together
at a chop house Steps by John Henry , a col
ored man. As night cano on they told
Henry that they wore notovcrburdened wlfli
money and did not feel like paying for their
lodging at a hotel. The colored man re
plied that ho could not furnish the coal to
warm the room , but If they could find the fuel
ho would willingly lot them sleep In his place.
This was satisfactory to MePhcrson nnd
Ialo ) , who said that they would find the fuel
to warm the building. The evening they
spent around the saloons of the town , where
they exhibited their wealth , which con
sisted of a few dollars. Shortly before mid
night thOy returned to the chop house , and.
securing a couple of sacks , they went to a
Union Pacific car that was standing in the
switch yards and proceeded to steal a few
pounds of co.il. After having secured the
fuel , and while they were standing at the
end of the car , McPherson was shot down.
Dulo riocl for Ills Lire.
Leaving his partner weltering la his blood ,
Dale hurried across the tracks , running to
the north part of town , where ho turned and
retraced his steps until ho icachcd the
tracks , after which ho started cast. His first
top wasat the camp of some ballast burners ,
about three miles east of Klkhorn , where ho
. rested for a short time , after which ho ro-
sumcd his journey , traveling along the rail
road until ho reached Pan1Uionv Reaching
there early yesterday morning ho secured a
copy of TUB BEE , in which ho read an ac
count of the finding of the body of McPher-
son. Ho at once proceeded to the ofllcc of
the sheriff of Sarpy county , where ho told ,
the oOlcorthnta murder had been committed
nl Valley nnd that ho would bo charged with
the commission of the crime and that , as ho
wns innocent , ho wanted to be taken into
custody until after au investigation was had.
Story ot tlio Shooting.
Yesterday morning Marshal Burke of
Valley telegraphed Sheriff Bennett , inform
ing him of the shooting , and about the same
time a dispatch was received from the sher
iff of Sarpy county , in which that official
stated that ho had dho ot the murderers in
custody. Immediately upon the receipt of
the two telegrams Sheriff Bennett started
for Valley. Ho was met at Papilllon by the
sheriff of Sarpy county , who was accompan
ied by Dale , who was turned over to the
Douglas county official , and the journey to
Valley was continued. On the way out Dale
told his story to Tun BEE man. Ho said
that ho had been m the vicinity of
Valley husking corn , and that while in town
he had formed the acquaintance of McPhcr-
son , and that for n day or two they had boon
partners , eating their lunches together and
sharing the same bed at night.
Shot Without Warning ; .
Saturday night , ho said , they had gonoout
together to steal some coal from a car stuml-
ing on the sidetrack. They had secured the
coal and wore standing at the end of the car
when a man came across the tracks from
ilk toward a saloon , and , without sa.vlnj ; a
Ir word , pulled a revolver niul flrcd , the ball
itrllcliiij McPhnrson and foiling him to the
ground. Then ho detailed Oils flight , sayinc
that his reasons for running away wore that
bo was frightened , nnd thought that if ho
staid in Yalloy until the ir.uidcr was dlscoy-
ercd ho would be lynched. Ho Insisted tlmt
the man who flrcd tlio fatal shot was Ed
Collins , and that ho could identify him as
the murderer , although he had never socn
that individual but a couple of times. Ho
said that ho recognized Collins ns ho ramo
across tjio railroad tracks , and said "Don't
shoot , " as Collins raised the gun : o tiro.
Ills Life Ulooit ICbbdcl Aivuy ,
At Valley 0alo was taken Into tlio rooTi
whcro MePhcrson was stretched upon a bed
in a dying condition , and ntonco identified
him as the man who was with him stealing
coal. An attempt was maUo to arousu the
wounded man , but Itus hardly successful ,
as he wns In n stupor , Indicating that death
was near nt hand. The attending physician
said that McPhorsoti had boon sinking rap
idly , but that during his conscious moments
ho had said that It was a stranger und not
his partner who flrcd the shot. A search of
his clothing failed to unearth anything of
value , his pockets containing nothing but a
few loiters from his mother , in all of whluh
she wrote with the wannest feeling of
motherly love , auIslng her boy to keep the
best of company and i-omo homo. While the
search was uclng made tluounh McPliorson's
clothing D.ilo maintained that lust a few
moments bofoio the shot was tired the mur
dered man had several dollars 111 his posses-
ilon ,
In probing for the ball the attending
physician found that It had strut ) ; about
an inch above the right eye and had passed
through the frontal bono. through the brain
and thence downward , lodcin ? near the base
of the brain. That the pistol was fired at
close range was made appaicnt by the fact
that the face wns b.ully burned by powder ,
Colltni Arrcitoti fur tlio Crime.
In the meantime Marshal Hurko , at the
rc < iucut of .SherilT Bennett , had hunted up
ICd Collins , \\ho was found at Harrier's feed
etnblo , und had placed him under ancst.
lie had been brought to the Itela house ,
whcro ho was iduntlfled by Dale as the man
who did the shooting. Although Collins \\as
two blocks away whoa Dale saw him coming ,
ho rumurUcil ;
"Thnt't thp man and he ran't deny It. "
From the hotel thu two men wore taken to
the place , where the body of McPherson was
found , And tlioro , standing over the pool of
blood tlmt had ebbed from the brain of the
victim , Palo shook tils list In Collins' fuco
and said : "This is your work und jou can't
deny It. "
To this charge Cullius simply laughed and
remarked ;
"Thpy lack the proof , and I want to tell
you thut Judging from the present outlook
things looU-'mlghty bad for you. "
Cnutlunml to llnlnUln Silence ,
t tilts point the Uyo men vn > ro hand-
ouiTed together and taken to Harrier's barn ,
where < v search was mudo for a pistol , it
having been said that after the shooting
Collins want to this barn and changed bis
coat. Upon , reaching there Collins was
upon the point of making some statement to
ilii ) sheriff , whou Harrierspoke up and said :
t'JCU , don't nmko a d a fool of } oursolf by
talking. Keep your mouth shut until you
lave to tcl ( your story' , "
TbU bud lU effect and from that time on
the mouth of Collins wa * scaled whenever
the crime wns brought up ns the subject uf
discussion. Several attempts wore made to
engage him la conversation , but each tlmo
In response to a question ho would reply , "I
don't have to talk to a lot of pluggcrs till I
feel so disposed , nnd at this tlmo my disposi
tion suggests that 1 had better keep quiet. "
There ID an ilmprcsslonthat Harrier
knows more than ho cares to tell , nnd that
ho hns nn object In cautioning Collins to
maintain reticence. It it known that ho
hns harbored Collins for years , nnd that ho
has helped to get him out of any number of
bad scrapes.
Colling' Record At V.tllcy.
Collins has been a resident of Valley for
some eight years nnd that during most of
that tlmo ho has" brcnwithout any visible
means of support , though most of the tlmo
ho has had money. Ho has the reputation
of being the bully of the town nnd has dellcd
the law nnd the. authortics. ! Ho has been
arrested n ncoro of times nnd when the
offense has boon of a ballablo nature , the
bonds have always been furnished by liar-
nor.Vbon It has not been , ho hns gene
to jail , always returning to Harrier's roof ,
whore ho has found a warm welcome. For
years ho Is known to have buon the
"brains" of a gang that has terrorized the
community , stealing grain , needs and hogs.
His plan has bocn to pot others to do most of
the stealing , whllo ho hns acted ns the fouco ,
outlining the plan of operations and dis
posing of the plunder after It was secured.
Taken to the County Jnll.
After Investigating the case ns thoroughly
as was possible , Sheriff Bennett brought
Collins and Dale to Omnha last night and
locked thrm In the murderers' cells In the
county tall , though ho Is confident that the
guilty man Is no other than Ed Collins.
Today County Attorney Knloy will lllo an
Information against both of the men , churg-
Ing them with ass.uiU with intent to kill ,
nnd on this charge they will bo held for a
few davs In order to see If McPherson dies
or lives. If ho dies the charge will bechanced
chanced to murder , and In the meantime It
Is behoved by the ofilclnls that Collins will
break down and confess , possibly Implicat
ing ono or more of the residents of Vnlloy.
Last night the sentiment of public opinion
hnd changed nt Valley , nnd the opinion wns
freely expressed that Collins was the man
who committed the cowardly crime.
If this opinion Is correct there can bo no
reason for the shooting unless It was to sc-
cure possession of the few dollars whUh
poor McPherson had on his person , as Col
lins was not n watchman , nor was ho em
ployed in. any capacity to look after Union
Pacific or other property.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS TALB.S
Interview with the Pamous Afro-American
on Current Topics.
WHAT HE THINKS OF THE HAWAIIAN AFFAIR
Condition ot the Colored llrothnr Discussed
Ulnori with Hilltop Turner on the
Color of AtHm Politics of
the I'nit nnd Present.
Hon. Frederick Douglass , whoso name for
thirty years has hcen cndenreil to the heart *
of Afro-Amcrlcitns , arrived In Omnhn last
evening. This venerable colored man hns
hold positions of trust under four presidents.
Grant , Haves , Qarflold nnd Harrison each
recognized his ability nnd bestowed honors
upon his gray hairs. At present Mr. Doug'
Inss Is on n lecturing tolir of the country ,
Ho wus scon at the Paxton last evening by
n reporter nnd chatted freely upon several
topics of general public Interest.
In response ) to an Inquiry us to his ideas
on the Hawaiian policy of the present ad
ministration , Mr. Douglas said :
"Public sentiment to n largo extent seems
advarso to the uosltlon tnkcn by President
Cleveland , but I am Inclined to the belief
that the president uould not act inju
diciously In the matter. Ho evidently has a
great deal of information on the subject
which has not ns yet been submitted to the
public , but whluh will , I think , eventually
bo laid boforn rrmirrnns to sustain the course
taken. While 1 am personally In favor of
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands , I do
not think that they are worth lighting over.
I am In favor of extending American In-
llucnco and American Dower an expansion
of the liberty-loving principles of this
nation whenever it can bo done peacably
and at the right timo. The stars nnd
stripes will yet lloat over the quocn'M palace
at Honolulu , but 1 do not beltovo It wise
to indulge in hasty and inc6nslderato action
In tearing dovui the natives heraldry of
government. There Is something back of
this Hawaiian affair that has prompted the
president' ? action , nnd perhaps when it is
known an impatient public will reverse the
present verdict of disapproval. If slavery
existed in this country at present , as it did
before the dnjs of the beloved Lincoln , I
would hate to ace an extension of American
power , but no\v that slavery has been abolished
ished , I favor annexation under tbo condlt ions
I have previously mentioned.
Liberty the llano Iiino ot the Republic.
"I think itwould be a blessing If the
Hawaiian nfTalr could bo amicably settled.
Liberty is the base line of our republic and
the criterion of our politics , und I would like
'to see It reach around the world. Yes , this
Is n land of liberty , and the shackles of
slavery have been taken off of the wrists of
the colored man , but the fact remains that
even in free America , where laws have
been passed for the amelioration of the
colored race , many of the laws aru cleaa
letters on the statute books , nota
bly the civil rights law and
the free exercise of the elective
franchise among the colored men of the
south. Upon the whole , however , the condi
tion of the colored man has boon Improved
by emancipation from slavery. 1. regret to
sco the discrimination exercised in the
south against the negro , who is deprived ot
an opportunity for ttlal ooforo an impartial
tribunal. For instance , during a period of
thrco months within the past year over UOO
colored men perished at the stake , at the
end of ropes or at the revolver's mouth.
They were lynched by mobs before they had
a chance to establish their innocence in the
courts. This question need ? the serious con
sideration of the nation , which was cradled
in liberty and which took.a bath in blood to
make the black man it free citizen of the
republic , entitled to all the Judicial privi
leges accorded to tile white Citizen. His
rights should bo equal , both at' the ballot
box and the Jury box ,
"I think that this wrong will yet bo
righted. Tnis tillic about.colorcd men form
ing an independent political party.Is the *
veriest rot. Iho subject "has been broached
to mo and I have opposed it. The moment
the colored men seek to stand alone as a
party they sign their political death war
rants. They must aftlllato with one of the
leading parties and patiently hope for full
establishment of their rights. The highest
wisdom ol one of tuo two older parties will
eventually recognize the necessity of such
action , if colored men go into nn independ
ent movement as the balance of political
power they will get between two inlllstoues
and bo crushed.
1'oUtlcal F
"I am glad to note the recent sweeping
success of the republican party. I think be
yond a doubt that Moltlnloy will bo the
nominee of the republicans for president In
"M. Ho could have boon the standard
bearer at the Miuneapolls convention , but
his beautiful loyalty to Sherman prevented It.
I'lio tariff question and monetary problem
will bo the issuesJu the next campaign. I
think that times will bo botternow that
the Sherman law has been repealed. I can
not bl.uno the silver men for feeling sore ,
for the government was-a good customer for
sliver purchases , and naturally they will
agitate tlie-question and die hard. I hope that
the recent republican successes will not in-
splro the loaders of that party to think so
much of the importance of mateiinl excel
lence that the moral standard will bo low
ered. I believe that a nation is Jus tilled In
protecting itself against adverse influences ,
and hcir.-o the monetary nnd tariff Issues are
now to the fore , but. ns I said before , I hope
that the moral inlluenccs upor which the
republican party won its llrst victory \\ill
never be lost to view.
"Bishop Turner recently said that the first
man created was black. " Qaerled the re
porter , "What do you think of the theory ,
Mr. Douglass ? " >
The colored statesman brushed his long
white hair from his forehcnd and smiled.
"I differ with Bishop Turner on the sub
ject , " bo replied , with emphasis. "Adam
was not a black man , according to my notion
of thinking. The word Adam moans 'red , '
and I don't think the name fitted his com
plexion if ho was a man of ebony huo. Adam
was evidently a red man not nn Indian , but
Inclined to be a human being of reddish ten
dencies In complexion , or in hair. The
name given him must hove been a euphoni
ous one. Bishop Turner is a great and good
man. but I think that he , errs In bis theory
in differing uith the best and Oldest philoso
phers of these times ns well us these of an
cient periods.
"Omaha has giowit wonderfully since 1
was hero twenty years ago , " concluded Mr ,
Douglass. "This city lias made great inog-
rcss during that tlmo und is a splendid ex
ample ofcstcrn enterprise. "

When an honest value like this $15 garment Ml
has to be sacrificed , and sold at $9.50 , it begins
to look like hard times. A year ago today
