A ROGUE CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.-A
singular incident occurred during the hoIydays
on the opposite side of the river. Two ladies
who resided in Illinois. came to the city to make
purchases. A we'll dressed man followed them
into several stores at one of which one OF them
got a ten dollar bill changed, receiving the
change in small bills. In the evening" on their
return home when bnt short distance from the
ferry in the prairie, the same man they had seen
in the city rode up TO them and demanded their
money The one who had the money drew 1t
out, and in attempting to hand it to him. the
wind caught the bills and carried them off on 10
the ground. The man dismounted to pick them
I'D, and as soon as he was down The ladies
put whip to their horses and mlde off as fast as
possible On their wav they heard the clater
of a horses hoofs following them. but were too
much terrified to stop or look back. When
they reached their own cate, behold the robbers
horse was with them, fine animal, with an ele-
CANT saddle and pair of fsaddle bags, but the man
was where in sight; they suppose his horse
escaped whilst he was picking up the bills.
On examining the saddle bags large sum OF
money was found, and several articles OF wear
ing apparel, but nothing by which his name
could be discovered. Up to Saturday last no
one had appeared to claim the horse or proper
ty.

gentleman of The city, who assures US that as
singular as the circumstances may appear, they
are strictly correct s. Louis Republican.
