taking the baby, which was at the
time but four days old.
No trace whatever could be found of
the missing nurse and baby. and as
she had been seen going toward the
river it was thought the girl was
demented and drowned herself and
baby. On Saturday, evening the Mime.
apolls authorities came across q
friend Of the missing woman who
went by the name of Stella Wright,
who however proves to be Stella Ring
welski, who was formerly a resident
here, and who is a daughter of An
drew Ringwelski. employed in. the
tailoring departments of The Hub.
The Ringwelski girl gave the name
of Mrs. Knoplk, also formerly OF this
county, and through her the authori-
ties received an address at West Su-
perior, Wis, which proved to be a
valuable clew.
The authorities at that place were
notified at once and the baby was
found that evening in the children 8
home in that city, where the nurse
had placed the little one in the after
noon.
Mrs. Jarmuzek was located BY the
police in a room over 1917 Tower
avenue and admitted she had taken
the baby and said she intended to re.
! turn it to its parents IN a week or
two. She took the child out for an
airing last Thursday. but instead Of
returning it to the parents she
boarded a train for Superior, arriv-
ing there Friday morning, when she
placed the child in the Children 8
home. and started out to find employ
ment as a domestic.
| Mrs. Jarmuzek was formerly known
as Miss Annie Ostroski. Her parents
formerly lived in Superior. The wo-
man preferred statutory charge
against Jarmuzek last August, but the
case was quashed when be married
her. They lived together for six
months, since which time Mrs. Jarmu-
EEK claims che has not seen her hus.
band. 1t is claimed her own child
died some months ago. Mrs. Jarmu-
EEK is % years of age.
Her only explanation for taking the
child Is that she did 1t for fnn. There
is no doubt IN the minds of the Super.
ior police of her insanity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ostroski were In the
|city Tuesday, ard claim that Mrs.
Jarmuzek had never had a child, al
though she mad told them when visit
ing here at Easter time that che wat
pregnant, they did not think SO.
They came to the city to see what
could be done for their daughter, but
as it is not sure whether she will be
examined for insanity, or on the
charge OF kidnapping. the old couple
will wait developments.
Annie Ostroski was quite vel
known here having worked in hotels
here for period of about seven years
She is sald to have been a girl of very
retiring disposition, and one not
Igiven to much talk, althoug h said tt
have handled the truth without muck
regard to facts. 1t is the general lm
preston by those :hat know hen that
the girl is either unbalanced or ii moi
Iconscious of the enormity of hel
crime.
i A reason given for the taking OF thu
baby was that the woman who wished
to have her husband live with hel
again, took the child with the idea o1
convincing him that it had been borr
to her and that as consequence h(
would welcome them under the pater
nal roof.
It is possible also that she had {
child, and its death made her in
sane. Those who know think it ab
surd to picture her as a willy Grim
inal.
Mrs. Jarmuzek was arraigned il
the police court at Minneapolis
Wednesday on the charge of kidnap
ping. She waived examination ant
was held to the grand jury.
/: A reward of $3.50 offered by Erwin
Giaque of Minneapolis for the returl
of his child, will be claimed BY
Lieutenant scoon and Detective Dill
of the Superior police. The officer
located the baby within half an hou,
after they had been apprised of tn
case on Saturday evening.
! Miss kingwelski also put IN CLAIM
for the $3.50 reward offered and as sh,
seems to have given the clue which lei
to the finding of the baby and woman
she stands good chance of securing
it, or at least q part of it. Mayo
Haynes ofMinneapolis is the person t,
decide who is entitled to the reward
