FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
eingular Suicide Of a Popular and Most
Bstimahle Lady.
MRS. WILLIAM SlEOENropF'S ENDING
kho Eats a Piece of Bread on Which
She Had Spread Rough on
Rats-Quesr Features of
the Case.

Tho news Of the death of Mrs. William
Siedentopf late Saturday night created a
profound sensation IN Council Bluffs, as IL
had not been known that she had been sick.
IL was not until yesterday morning that the
fact became known outside OF tie family
that her death was due not to sickness, but
to a dose of poison taken with suicidal in
tent. For a number OF years she has been
somewhat unbalanced mentally, and her
condition was made worse Dy tho death OF
her husband last June. One OF her hobbies
was christian science, and on this subject
she wouli talk by the hour to her friends.
Last fail she was sent TO California in the
hope OF bencfting her health, but she came
back with little If any Improvement.
Saturday afternoon she told n man who
worked at the house to get some rough on
rats, as they had been troubled with rats
about the house. He suspected nothing and
got a box for her. Soon after she was taken
violently ill, but on account of her antipathy
to physicians no medical aid was summoned
until about 3 o'clock, when DIR. Cleayer was
called to the house. BY that time the poison
had taken so strong a hold on her system
that he was unable to do anything to help
her. Ordinarily a dose so largo as she took
would cause violent vomiting, but nothing
more serious, ii taken alone. one ndu spread
the poison on a piece of bread and eaten ii,
80 that IL digested along with the bread and
found It's way into every part OF her system
at once. She finally died about 10 o'clock,
and then the hired man came to the front
with the story OF the rough on rats.
Clear Case of suicide.
For some reason or other William Sieden-
topf, the son of the deceased. took especial
pains TO see that the mode of her death did
not become public. This gave matters q
very peculiar look, but later developments
confirm the above report, and show IL to
have been q clear case of suicide and moth
ing more.
Mrs. Siedentopf was the daughter of j.
Burhop, one OF the old settlers of Council
Bluffs, and whose name was familiar to
every one until recently from its con-
nection with the old place of amuse-
ment known as Burhop'S hall, now &C.
cupid by the Woodmen of the World.
She was born in Highland. Ill in 1852 and
in 1870 was married to William Siedentopf,
who, up to the time of his death last sum
mer, was known as one of the wealthiest and
most influential citizens of Council Bluffs.
She leaves a son and daughter, William F.
and Miss Ellen, besides her mother, Mrs.
Eliza Burhop. u
The funeral will take place at 2:30 o'clock
0 morrow afternoon from the family resi-.
dence on East Broadway, Rev. Stephen
Phelps officiating. The following pail bearers
have been selected: &. Straub, Nj. +. Rohrer,
A. 4. lIlwell, William Moore, ID. w. Bush
