Special to the Star.
Mt. VERNON, KY, July 25-London,
Laurel County, has been considerably ex-
cited for the last few days over the depre-
dations of band of robbers. Last Monday
evening the house of VIM. jackson, stu
ated about one half mile from town and in
plain view, was set on fire by the thieves
The citizens were suspicious, however
and only few of them went to the fire.
On the same day some of the robbers went
to the house of Wiley Watkins, who lives
about six miles from London, and robbed
him of $500 in cash.
An attempt was made to rob Roland
Hodge, who lives in the vicinity of the
town, but he succeeded in frustrating the
thieves and carried his money into town,
where he has kept 1t since. The robbers
are fifteen in number, and it is feared an
effort will be made to burn and sack the
town.
A strong guard skept every night Three
of the guard gave chase to a suspicious
character last night He was on horse
back and ordered to halt several times, but
he refused to do so. The guard fired at him,
and he returned the fire. He finally left
his horse, and escaped to the woods. 1t is
thought he was wounded.

BUCKTOwN BADNESS.
Attempted Assassination with a Razor.

A cutting affray occurred in Bucktown
this morning, between and o'clock,
which may turn out to be murder. The
parties in the affray were Charley Hall and
John Lane, both steamboat deckhands and
the latter had his neck cut terribly, from
the left side of the jawbone clear back be-
hind the ear.
The trouble between the parties seems to
be about as follows: A month ago Lane
had fuss with roustabout named jim
Banks, and it seems that Hall took up
Banks quarrel. Last night war of words
occurred between Hall and Lane, on Front
street. between Broadway and Ludlow.
This morning while Lane was standing
at the corner of Sixth and Culvert Hall
stepped up to him and felled him to the
ground with club. He then drew razor
and sIashed Lane across the neck.
The second stroke Lane warded off with
his arm, and struggling with his would-be
murderer, succeeded in getting up, when
Hall ran away down to Pickett's, where he
was found by the officers and taken to the
Hammond-street Station-house. Lane was
removed to the Cincinnati Hospital.
