Successful attempt to sustain the supremacy Of The laiOs

Flaiheads-Dead conflicts
PADUcAH, August l.
A band Of lawless, thieving desperadoes, with
the unenviable appellation Of Fatheals, have for
some time past committed some of the most out
rageous depredations upon the honest portion of
the population Of The southern end of Illinois,
This band of thieves number about three hundred
For the safety of life and personal property,
about five hundred Of the most respectable inhab-
tants of that State formed themselves into assoc
citation, called the Regulators.
The aggressioDs perpeirated by the Flatheads
becoming so insupportable, the Regulators deter
mined to the most vigorous measures to bring
the cuprits TO justice. They accordingly procured
wrts for the arrest of ten twelve of the lenders
of the Flathaed gang, and summoned the officers
| 10 aid them in the execution of the law
| The Flatheads, hearing of this movement, the
most determined of them, to the number Of about
| seventy-6ve, assembled in log house, where,
armed TO the teeth, and making a fort of the log
| house, they determined to stand their ground and
| give battle.
| The Regulators, having discovered the retreat,
came and summoned the Flatheads to surrender;
which request being refused the Regulators threat
ened to charge the log house, and invited every
honest man who was misled into il to leave.
About twenty-six, seeing that the side of justice
was the strongest, left their companions in the log
house The Regulators then charged upon the re-
| mainder of the FIatheads, and soon put them to a
precipitate flight
! During the charge two of the Flatheads were
killed and three wounded. Three of the Regula-
tors said to have been MORALLY wounded.
| The whole neighborhood is in the greatest ex-
element The Regulators, assisted by the authors
ties, determined TO run this awless band out of the
county, are pursuing them in every direction. A
number Of the Flaiheads have fed over to Ken
lucky, and others have hid themselves in the
swamps.
