Ohio. down the Ohio into the Mississippi.
and up the Father of Waters into the
Iowa River, where it was caught two
weeks ago by four Iowa men, who have

silver, SIS in greenbacks. Sc, 900 in bonds.
and certificate for $25 on bank of

pocketbook had statement to the effect
that the book and contents were the
property OF John J. Jones. of Johnstown,
