lost their money-purses by having
them snatched from their hands by
thieves, whom 1t seems make spe-

A lady and her daughter, while pass

other short and stout, and wearing n
fur cap. were the miscreants who ap-
preached the ladies at the point men,

of the young lady with one hand, and
with the other seized her purse and ran.
The other fellow ran in an opposite di-
rection. Mr. w. b. Daughtrey pursued
the tall one up Washington street for
some distance, but failed to overtake
MIN. The theft was perpetrated SO
quickly that the ladies did not have
time to give an alarm. Mr.. Daughtrey

From the description, the men are
