Saturday evening, she called at the dwelling
of Mr.. Gulohalk, corner of 4th and Scott Sts.,
with female child three and half days old,
which ahe stated was her daughters, 1t
was impossible for the mother to keep it, and
she desired some one to give it a home, or it
would be made away with. A lady, more
kind hearted than wise, on hearing the incl
dent, called in to see the child. After hear
ing the strange woman's pitiful story, and at
she instance of some sympsthizing bystand-
ers, she consented to care for the infant un-
I'll the following morning. at which time she
was promised an explanation of the whole
affair. The pretended grandmother sojourn-
ed at Mr.. Gulchslk's that night, but arose at
g very early hour on Sunday morning and
fed. She applied at Bard 6 Zimmerman's

gentleman started out on the Dewitt road to
catch her He traced her to the Wapsie riv-
or, which she crossed at about four o'clock

the city. Her description is as follows -
She is an American, is from q to 80 years

looking, we'll educated, wore a large brown
shaker bonnet, trimmed with the same color
ed shambry, lilac dress and black shawl,
with red in corners, all of which clothing she
said she had borrowed. Without doubt she
is the mother of the child, Any one leaving
her name and residence at this office, with
definite particulars, will receive so, deposit

and good looking. The mother has evidently
been bred in refinement, 10 judge from her
