This Is an assurance that the Ohio will

or three days. Reports from all quarters
of the Ohio valley are of drizzling rain or

All up-river towns report the Ohio rising

A representative Of Wells. Fargo,

Of the express company by the Gosher

In demonstration Of this statement the
fact was cited that the robbers, not con

the mail sacks. evidently disappointed
at the amount contained in the Wells
Fargo treasure box. 1t was pointed ou
that robbers rarely meddle with mai
pouches, fearing the inevitable life pen

not have risked this If the sum realized
from the express robbery had at al
adequately repaid them for the hazard

of the stewards that in five furlong race
for non-winners, the maiden filly Las
