(From the Harbour Grace Mercury, May \5.)
A most brutal assault and robbery Was perpetrated today at Saddle-Hill, on the high road between Carbo-
ar and this town. Mr, Hfkmak Lott, a young man
the employment of Mr 11 i:mi y Winton, printer, in
. John'?, when returning to this place from Carbonear, was suddenly attacked from behind by four ruffians with crape over their faces, who knocked him down,
beat him cruelly, and then dragged hits ih among the
bushes, where tney cut off part of each of his ears, and
after applying clay to the wounds, robbed him of seven
eight dollars, which was all thc money he had in liis
pockets. He lay senseless on thc ground for awhile
From tho severity of the blow inflicted atthe commencement, but the effusion of blood while in the bushes causing him to revive a little, he perceived ono ofthe fellows attempting to snatch at a sword stick which he held
in his hand; the former succeeded in wresting the
sheath, and at this moment, wc understand Mr. L,
struck him a blow "on the face, with the blade, which he
thinks did some damage, and may probably servo as a
clue to lead to the discovery of at least one of the perpetrators of this foul and barbarous affair. Some time
after thc ruffians left their unfortunate victim, he was
discovered lying on a rock, from whence he was assisted
to get to the Court House here, which he reached with
extreme difficulty, and was iccoived and kindly attended to by Mr. Coriuf, and surgical assistance promptly
procured for him, The whole town at this moment is
Igreatly excited in consequence of this barbarous. .occj*r-

Streel, opposite tlte stone premises ot Messrs. J. & W.

She can accommodate single gentlemen with (he besl
Lodgings at lhe --neapest rate ; orwhule I am il ies, before settling down, could be accommodated wiih convenient and pleasant furnished Lodgings.
The House is situated in a clean aiid quiet neighbourhood.

bi. John's, Aj-"i 14, 1910.
The following are the particulars of the outrage
committed upon Mr. Herman Lott, as narrated by
himself, taken from the Star of yesterday—
•• I left Carbonear on Friday last a 12 o'clock j after proceeding as fur as Saddle Hill, about half way, I
was suddenly stopped by two men who came out trom
the thicket on the right hand aide j their faces covered
•* ith black crape ; immediately 2 men more made their
appearance, when one ot" the latter remarked ' Long
I looked for come at last,' upon hearing this I immediately prepared, drew a sword stick, and warned them to
keep off; however, two ofthoparty still advanced and
I made a blow-at one of them across thc face, when he
ejaculated ' Blooel fo/- blood you b—I' Another then
[struck mo a violent blow in the'.forehead and stunned
ne ; while insensible I was carried into thc thicket,
ny mouth was stuffed with dirt, and also my ears; one
if them pummelled my head with a stone, which completely stupified mc ; while in  this state, they cut off
my cars and left me Wben I got up I found myself
alone ; after a short time 1 gained the road, made tho
best of my way to Harbor Grace, where I discovered I
had been robbed of seven dollars, which I suppose to
hate been taken by the fellow*.
I have omitted to mention that shortly after I had
got into the road, I appealed to a man for assistance,
which he very reluctantly gave mc for about 12 or 14
aces, and then left ine.—nearer Harbor Graco I met
another man who after 1 had passed him came back, and
when he saw what had happened, he said ' OA, you'r
nipped I' and then returned towards Carbonear.
We regret sincerely to be called upon to place
so revolting an outrage upon record. The information was received here on Sunday last, and has
naturally awakened feelings of the liveliest indignation in this community. The perpetration of
so foul a deed in open day, and upon an unoffending individual! Can it be believed that in a civi-
zed community men can be found so to outrage the
common feelings of humanity ? The fact, how-
*, is undeniable, and this is unhappily not the
first exhibition of this inhuman spirit within a few-
years ; but we trust that unlike the former, the
authors of this atrocity may not escape the just
penalty oftheir offence. It is high time thata term
should be set upon that impunity which has but too
long attached in Conception Bay to such violations
loflaw & of right. The people ofthat district are im-
patively called upon to aid in bringing the offenders to punishment. In justice to himself every honest
man is bound to use his best efforts with a view to
this end, for until a discovery is made, suspicion
will attach perhaps to many who look upon the
deed with abhorrence. The actors, whoever they
mav be, should net be permitted to infest any
community with their polluted presence j let then
[therefore bc brotagkt to light, and let the people
show how little do they sanction such.acta by tho
desire they manifest to • root ont the depredators
from amongst tlitm.—Newfoundlander. •
