Horrible Outrage in Lincoln County, Missouri.
Our readers know that the people of Lincoln coun-
ty i'll this State have been much excited for some
months past, by the discovery of the existence of
band Of counterfeiters and horse thieves amonp
them Several Of them have been, at different
times arrested, and suspicion continued 10 rest a.
g0lnst other families In this state Of things, a
company OF Regulators as they termed themselves
-Lgnch-Laio men--was formed, who proceeded
from time TO time, to order the suspected indiydu-
ais to leave the County, failing to do which sunma.
ry punishment inflicted. Two young men of
family named TurnbulI fell under the jurisdiction
of the Regulators, and on Friday last they met at
house in the county, TO determine what should be
done In the premises. 1t is not known what was
agreed upon at that meeting, but from thence thew
proceeded to the residence of old Mr. Turnbuli.
Father of the young men in question. Tho old
man, who was at his shop saw them approaching,
and attempted 10 escape into the house, but was in
tcrcepted and caught. Two younger sons and the
females of the family retreated into the house and
fastened the doors. The suspected men were not
to be found. The Lynchers loered about the
house for some time and finally set fire TO it, bnt
it was extinguished by the family.
They then resolved upon more efficient measures.
and one of them seized an AK, with which, after
several blows, he broke in the door, and the mob
entered. general fight ensued in the house. 1t
is not known which party fired first but two shots
were fired by the young Turnbuls, one of which

used the AK IN breaking the door, struck on the
head with something resembling corn knife which
penetrated into the brain, and he is not expected to
live long. third was injured slightly. One of
the Iurnbulls was shot in the neck, and was dying
at the last accounts. The other was shot in the
thigh, and was not expected to survive, They are
both young-one boy of fifteen or sixteen years
old. This bloody outrage took place about eight
miles back of Bailey's landing, between IL and 3
o'clock of the day. Great excitement followed
throughout the county. The mob had determined
at u meeting on Monday, to proceed to TurrbulIs
house and extermlnate the whole family; but it il
hoped, that the efforts which were making TO arrest
this design, were successful. 1t is said, that the
Regulators were composed Of some of the most re-
spectacle men of the county, but how they can
reconcile their proceedings with desire 10 main
