MOUNT STERLING, KY, Jan. 11.-News
comes to us from West Liberty, Morgan
county, fifty miles above here in the noun
tains that short time ago band of reg
ulators was organized in that county,
the purpose of regulating some parties
who had Tin the eyes of these self constitut-
ed limbs of the law been guilty of trans
gressions which the laws of the state could
not reach. They assem- bled together
one dark night and took a vote whether
they should hang certain fellow or give
him sound thrashing. With the excep-
ton of one man whose name was Legg,
the regulators were unanimous for hang
ing. This man Legg was Immediately ex-
PEELED from the organization, and since
that time he has not been seen or heard
from. 1t is darkly limited that he was spir-
tied away by the regulators.
By some means their crime was found
out, and an authentic report from there
yesterday says that sixteen of the regula-
tors have been arrested by the sheriff, but
there is no clue to the missing man. Some
dark deeds are likely to be developed.
