The mob was undecided as to what was the best course to pursue. It was plain to them that at present the men would notbe lynched and yet their very souls thirsted for vengeance. There were some present, however, who were possessed of inexhaustible resources and WIHIPPING AT THE STAKE was proposed. The men were es to the flag staff and securely fastened. Emulating the old semi-barbavie king who caused the wronged 1o inflict the punishment, the owners of the hovses were designated to perform the d grecable task of logging the men. One of the owners of the horse: the possessor was of a soft heavt, and his vietim did not suffer so badly, but the other thief was nov so fortunate. The horse ownor, filled only with the mem- ory of his wrongs and thirsting for r benge, belabored the tied thief with al his strength. Another way the vigilance committee or mob composed of popular uprisings of the people had of amusing itself was to take the unfortunate eriminals down to the river and throw them in, com- pelling them to swim to the Towa shore or drown. It was certainly a case of “sink or swim.” 1t is related that they conveyed four notorious desperadoos down to the river one night with the avowed intention of drowning them. it was A DESPERA STRUGGH. between the members of the v committee and the desperade nd- ing on the bank with the river rolling sluggishly atong in the night, those nee four men fought with the fury of a wounded tigress.
