     Margaret Thomas, a colored woman, residing at No. 1225 Liberty street,
is out a blue velvet satchel and $19.75 in cash.  Yesterday morning she
placed the satchel, containing the amount named on a sofa in the front room
and retired to the rear for a few minutes.  Upon her return she discovered
that some unknown person had made off with the property.  A nephew of the
woman, Willie Collins, who was in the house when the satchel was left on the
sofa, disappeared about the same time.  His description was immediately
telegraphed to all stations.  He is a mere lad, twelve years of age.
