Mrs. Bonawitz, While at Cedar
Rapids, Thought to Have
Been Slightly Demented
TALKED CONSTANTLY or RITTER
Ritter Had Met Her There and She
Had Feared His Arrest = Cedar
Rapids Man Says She Was Devisins
Schemes Whereby She Gould Secure
Money-Nevvs of the City.

The career of Mrs. Minnie BonawitZ,
whose tragic death by her own hah'
lhas been the subject Of much comment
since its occurrence early Tuesday
morning. has further airing from Ce'
dar Rapids, where the woman spent
several weeks prior to her death. The
Cedar Rapids Republican OF THIS morn
ling tells of her life there as follows:
Mrs. A. L. Bonawitz, whose tragic
death at Marshalltown Tuesday caused
such a sensation, and whose escapade
urday night was published far and
wide, recently spent three weeks in Ce-
dar Rapids. 1t is said positively that
the lover because of whom she shot
herself. was here to see her at least
once, and possibly more times than
once, during the three weeks she re-
sided here. She left here about twelve
days ago, just before her escapade al
An.es, and there are some ugly rumors
as TO prearrangements for the meeting
at tho AmeS hotel
1T appears that Mrs. BonawitZ came
here little more than month ago
and stayed for few days at one of the
leading hotels in the city. She was a
fine looking woman, % years of age.
dressed we'll and attracted no little at
tention. But those who became ac-
quaintedwith her during her stay in
the city say that she acted as if she
were half demented and that her con-
slant talk was about Chris Ritter. this
bartender for whom she killed herself.
After staying at the hotel for some
days she went to the home of Mr.. John
Hulsabeck, G12 Second avenue, who had
known both her and her father in her
girlhood days. Her father, Frank Mann
lis n man of wealth living near Laurel
and the family has fine reputation.
Mrs. Bonawitz, renewing the old ac-
uuaintances, asked Mr. Hulsabeck to
rent her one OF the rooms in his home
and finally asked for two rooms, saying
that she wanted two rooms so that
Chris her bartender lover, could
come to see her. To such an arrange
ment Mr.. Hulsabeck very promptly OBJ
jected and, his wife being out OF town,
told Mrs. Bonawitz that she had better
remain at the hotel While longer, un-
til his wife came home when they
would see about letting her have q
room. When Mrs Hulsabeck returned
Mrs Bonawitz was allowed to rent q
room there.
In the meantime 1t seems that Bit
ter, the bartender had been in the city,
for Mr.. Hulsabeck, who is at the Sara
toga billiard parlors. says that he saw
Ritter there before he saw Mrs. Bona
WITT. After Mrs. Bonawitz went to
his home, he says, she was continu-
ally talking about Ritter and said that
she feared to have him in this city be-
cause she thought the police We're after
him. She seemed completely infatuated
with him and was constantly devising
schemes, says Mr.. Hulsabeck, to get
money from people. presumably to
maintain herself and her lover in COM
fort. Some OF these plans and schemes
appear to have been Of a very ques-
tionable character"

SALESMAN PLACED IN JAIL.
Another Arrest at Union of Marshall
town Man for Delivering Goods.


town Man for Delivering Goods.
Another arrest at Union, of a Mar
shalltown travelling salesman, was
made Wednesday afternoon when Ed
win Hoover, a representative of the
Sinclair Tea & Coffee Company, was
placed in the Union Jail because he did
not furnish bonds after his arrest for
the alleged violation of a town ordi-
nance concerning peddlers' licenses.
This is the third case in a week
where a Marshalltown salesman has
got into trouble at Union, the other two
cases having been brought against rep
resentatives of the Iowa Tea Company
Mr.. Hoover was taking orders for flu
ture delivery, and delivering goods
from orders taken month or so ago,
when arrested. A man from Union,
who was in the city Wednesday eve
ming, said that an Eldora attorney had
framed the ordinance, and had been
telegraphed that the arrest had been
made. 1t is also understood that he has
offered to carry the case UP to the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Sinclair and his at
torney went to Union Wednesday eve
ming. to investigate the case, and make
ARRANGEMENTS for Mr. Ioover's bond
and appearance.
1t is thought even by Union people
that the town officials overstepped
their bounds in placing Hoover in jail,
as there was no criminal charge
against him, and the law does not per-
NIT man to be Jailed as the result of a
civil action. Mr.. Sinclair says he will

The most brilliant social affair of the
mid winter season was the dancing
and card party given by the Hawthorne

the proceeds of which the ladies will
use in furnishing the childrens room
in the new Carnegie library. Not only
was the affair most successful
socially, but also financially, and the
ladies are to be congratulated on the
amount Melted by the undertaking.
While it is not as yet known what the
realized and will go far toward the end
for which the affair was given.
In the neighborhood of seventy-five
couples were present, filling the rotun-
da, balconies and dancing hall from
early in the evening until an early hour
this morning. Many of the younger set
first attended 1.-The Burgomaster" and
came in a body from the Odeon to the
Pilgrim.
The incandescents turnout the build
ing were shaded In red, which subdued
the lights, making the many handsome
toilettes of the ladies doubly pretty
Card tables were scattered around the
balcony for those who did not care to
dance. The dining room, for the even
ing, was converted into the dancing
hall, and the scene was a most brilliant
one. The program OF dances was
opened about o'clock with the grand
march led by Mrs. D. T. Denmead and
Mr.. L. C. Abbott, and Miss May Healy,
of Dubuque, and Mr.. F. l.. Meeker.
The ladies are we'll pleased with their
success, and feel most grateful to the
Messrs. Ames, managers of the Pilgrim,
who donated the use of the building to
the club and in other ways very ma
terially assisted the members in their
undertaking.
The committees having the various
portions of the arrangements in charge
are: House and music, Mesdames A.
A. Moore, and B. A. Morgan; tickets,

by serving frappe and lemonade to the
dancers from either end of the room.
