Horse thieves especially received no mercy. In the summer of1856, two thieves stole some horses from the settlers in the vicinity of Omaha, and sold themto a band of Pawnee Indians, from whom the animals were recovered. The thieves were cap-tured and brought into the city. They were stripped to the waist and tied to a libertypole on Harney street, where they were given thirty-nine lashes each upon the back with arawhide. The whipping was done alternately by the owners of the horses and the Indianswho had bought them and had to give them up. An effort was made by Chief Justice OMAHA ILLUSTRATED.
