DEsMoINEs, July 23.-Nothing entirely
reliable in regard to the pursuit and cap
ture of the railroad robbers has been re
ceived at this place to-day. 1t is thought
that they have crossed into Missouri, and
are making for the wilds of Mercer county,
in that State. The total amount taken by
the robbers from the train is now known to
be twenty three hundred and thirty seven
dollars
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
The latest advices from the railroad rob
bers is that they were last evening between
Creston and the State line, pushing for
Missouri with the utmost speed They
passed farm house last evening, about
dark, their horses being well jaded. The
company divided, one-half going in another
direction. Dispatches received from the
officers in pursuit, this morning, state that
| they have got between them and Missouri,
whittier the robbers are going. They are
/ evidently regular Missouri guerrillas, who
understand the business they are in. The
country is all alarmed and hundreds are
4 in pursuit, and it seems impossible for
/ them to escape, although they are mounted
/ on horses Of racing stock. The engines on
the Rock Island road are draped in mourn
ing for the death of Rafferty,, the engineer
killed at the railroad robbery.
