Woman Whitecaps in Nebraska. Oct. 23, 1893. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union organized itself into a whitecap society for the express purpose of chastising several resident young women whose reputation for chastity is not above reproach. By the use of decoys the whitecaps succeeded in entrapping their victims, and according to the best information one of the victims was flogged into insensibility, while two others escaped with their clothing torn from their persons and somewhat bruised. Eleven were recognized and at once arrested. Some of them are out on bail and others are in jail.
