rison street, last night about o'clock,
she met a negro boy about Is or 20
years old. at the corner of Laurent
and Harrison, by the North Topeka
Baptist church. The negro grabbed
her cloak and attempted to reach
her pocketbeok, but Mrs. Galinski
screamed and ran back up the street
to the Baptist parsonage, where she
was taken in the house. The negro
ran up the alley between Van Buren,
and Harrison streets. Mrs. Galinskis
screams had been heard by Deputy
Sheriff Holman, who lives on Topeka

that he seemed young. Holman was
unable to find any trace of him. Mrs.
