slLvERwARE IN RIVER.

Hiding Place Of Goods Stolen by
Thieves Found at Cedar Rapids.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. Dec. pa quantity
OF valuable silverware, consisting of
silver spoons, creamers, spoonholder,
sugar bowl, ETC., was found in the river
between the First avenue and the B
avenue bridge yesterday. 1t is suppos-
ed to have been thrown there by
thieves.
The first discovery was made by
Jagail Kettering and his sister, as they
were coming across the First avenue
bridge yesterday shortly before noon.
Looking down into the water they
thought they saw some silverware. The
two girls reported the matter to their
father, who told the police. Mr.. Ket-
tering, the police and others then made
thorough search and found several
other articles, two silver spoons being
found in the mill race The theory Of
the police is that the silverware was
stolen and that the thief may possibly
have imagined he was being pursued,
and therefore threw it into the river.

purpose Of renewing their old love at
the marriage altar. Deffee lives in
Denison, Iowa. and his bride to be lives
In Glenyaood Springs, Col, but they
wanted to celebrate Christmas together
in Chica go, and spent much Of the day
In seeking a marriage license.
They appealed to the police OF the
central station, but the policemen were
unable 20 assist them. Mrs. L. M.
Strong, 1858 Hancock avenue, a sister
of Mrs. Wilcox, led the way in search
Of Justice Caverly at his home at Nc
Coy's hotel.
Thirty years ago the old couple were
sweethe;lrts. Deffee,s however, left the
home town and while the first love was
not fore often the two gradually drift
ed away in their affections. The cor
respondnnce ceased, new sweethearts
took the place Of the old ones and both
were married few years after their
parting.
A short time ago Deffee again heard
of his Did sweetheart. Her husband
had died and he, too, had been left
alone ia the world, a widower. He
wrote g. letter to her at Glenwood
Springs suggesting that the broken
correspondence should be renewed, and
she RESP onded gladly. In few months
it was arranged that they should spend
the rest of their lives together as hus-
band and wife, and the trip to Chicago
and the wedding was planned.
