The 9Th inst Mr.. Fisk, of Mex Orleans, was
robbed Of his trunk, and jcwelry and money
10 the amount Of $4,000. His trunk was
sitting in the ladies' cabin, and the day previous
to the disappearance of the trunk, Mr.. Fisk
was overhaalng everything in it, so that any
one could see his money, diamonds and Jew
elry, which, no doubt led to the robbery
Some say the trunk was thrown into the river
with buoy attached.
A general search Was concluded yesterday
afternoon with no little disturbance. Pistols
were drawn, and at one time general fght
seemed inevitable. Mr. Fisk yesterday des-
patched an agent from Paducah to the place
where we laid by the night of the robbery
and he (Flsk) proceeds to ST. Louis to sue the
boat for the loss. How it " i'll end, remains to
be seen. Mr.. Fisk, if you remember, was the
