Woman Whipped at Post.

Lillie Thomas was whipped at the post established by Justice G. L. Walls in Kansas City Thursday. Lillie is about the color of the ace of spades, and was arrested a few days ago on a charge of having abstracted $3 from the purse of Mrs. Martha Etwell at No. 609 East Fifteenth street, for whom she had been working. The recent succession of extremely hot days planted in gillie an all-consuming thirst for soda water and lemonade. Having no other means of gratifying her thirst, when she saw a purse with |3 in it on the bureau at the Etwell home, she resigned without notice.
