dian who were here with Pawnee
Bills Wild West Show, which drew
big crowds to the state capitol, to-

ment of public punishment in the
Kent County Jail yard here known
as the whipping post. The Indians

Ward brought out hi, whip that IS
yielded here scmi-annually by the
arm of Justice, and the two men
demonstrated to the open-mouthed
redskins how prisoners are fasten-
ed and looked in the pillory.
The Indians seemed to think the
post bore a resemblance to one OF
Geronimo's stakes Of torture, but
when the Sheriff and others explain
ed to them that there were few per
sons to be whipped there, and,
that there was not one larceny case
of sufficient gravity to deserve the
whipping-post treatment at the
present term of court, the redskins
nodded their heads as much as to
say the post was a good thing.
