Preacher in Trouble with Bonded Boy Musicians
A Chicago style report details Rev Dr Sherwood who led a camp meeting in Omaha with an eight piece brass band of black boys aged ten to fourteen. He allegedly housed them but supplied little food, paid only ten cents daily, and whipped some when funds dwindled. He was arrested on charges of assault and battery and could face more serious counts. A separate note from Chicago warns of scalpers harvesting Grand Army tickets in Detroit, as western railroads adjust to stamp return coupons for veterans. The piece notes the Michigan Central's initial lapse and eventual fix to protect veterans and curb scalping.
