Rockwell elimination Of Romance.
Special to Times Republican.
Rockwell, June "a very pretty
wedding, and a very interesting enc,
too, was solemnzed in this city at high
noon Wednesday, when Rev. .. M.
Sanford, pastor Of the Methodist
church, united in marriage Miss Amy
Cough, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.
Cough, of this city, and Mr.. Seborn
Bronnenberg, of Des Moines. The
service was performed wholly in the
sign language. as both the bride and
groom are deaf mutes. Nineteen guests
witnessed the impressive ceremony,
which was even more solemn than us'u-
al because of the unfortunate condi-
ton of the happy pair.
When Amy Cough was tiny child
she was stricken with brain fever. EIer
parents thought she would die, and so
did all who were familiar with her Ill
ness. She lived, but her recovery was
a costly one, and robbed her of the
sense Of hearing. Never knowing
voice, naturally she never talked. Mr.
Bronnenberg was born deaf.
The young people have known one
another since childhood, and both be-
ing mutes were naturally attracted
toward one another thru the bonds of
common sympathy They were separ-
ated for several years, and met again
a few years ago at Council Bluffs,
where each became student in the
Iowa State School for the Deaf Miss
Cough graduated from the institution
with the class of 1906, and Mr.. Bron-
nenberg left school the same year to
go to Des Moines and, enter upon his
trade, that of harness maker. The
friendship of youth developed into
adult love, and the love in q corut-
ship and betrothal.
The bride in Wednesdays happy at
fair is a very prepossessing young
woman, now a little past 20. She were
a pretty gown of white silk, and car
ried a bouquet of pink and white car
nations. Mr.. Bronnenberg is about the
same age as his wife, son of Mrs. G.
w. Gould. of Gravity, and is employed
by the Des Moines Saddlery Company.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bronnenberg left We'd
nesday afternoon for Des Moines, and
will go to housekeeping at once at sos
South East Seventh street.

the sight Of an eye. He was among a
crowd of boys who went to a window
in hall and peeped in to see and hear
the scholars of the high school who
were within retearsing their parts for
the commencement exercises. One of
the girls in the hall playfully poked her
umbrella at the boys and struck young
Fiddler in the left nostril, causing a
hemorrhage in the optic nerve and
binding the eye. DR.. Mammen was
called to dress the wound, and after
doing so recommended the boy to go to
Sioux City and see an optician. The
optician held out some hope for the
recoyery-of the wounded eye.

Fort Dodge. June SIS. S. Crandall,
an amateur detective. was induced TO
come to this city yesterday afternoon
to assist in ferreting out >the mystery
which surrounds the attempts to wreck
the fast passenger on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad on the nights of
May II and 20, and was placed un-
der arrest and charged with the crime
by Special Officers E. e. Stark and G.
A. Cation.
On the night Of May II two ties were
placed on the track Of the Northwest
ern line near Linnberg, and were
struck by the fast passenger, known
as No 16. Little damage was done,
however, Six ties were placed on the
track near the same place on the night
Of May %, and We're struck by the
same train, badly damaging the en-
CINE. The train was stopped only
after two of the ties had become
wedged In al bridge Special officers
were sent out from Chicago to work
on the ease, and have not rested IN
the matter until the arrest OF Gran
dali this afternoon.
Shortly after their arrival at Day
ton. Crandall, who claims to be mem
Der of the famous Webster Detective
Agency at Des Moines, offered his
services to the officers, saying he had
evidence which would place the blame
on the guilty parties. He was led out
as much as possible by the officers, and
the more they worked on the case the
more they were satisfied he was guilty
OF the crime. Finally he made an offer
for a stated consideration to place the
blame on the guilty party, and was in
duced to come to this city to meet the
proper parties to close up the matter.
Soon after his arrival here he was ar
rested and placed in the county jail,
after being sweated by the officers.
during which time he made damaging
admissions. He will be given pre-
liminary hearing in Justice Magowans
court Friday morning.
When seen by your correspondent,
late yesterday afternoon, Special Of
ficer Stark stated that Crandall was
man of most unenviable reputation,
and had the entire village of Dayton
terrorized with his threats of his power
as q detective. He claims to have evil
denca of his connection with other
crimes in the past, and feels sure of
landing him in the penitentiary for a
long term.
Crandalls offer to place the blame
for the crime is stated by the officers
to be an attempt>to imprison an inno-
cent man who had incurred his en-
nifty. Before his arrest here he at
tempted to gain possession of mail adj
dressed TO other parties, and adver-
tised at the local postoffice, but was
refused. The Northwestern detectives
feel jubilant over arresting the man
before the warrant was issued by the
federal authorities. Fully a hundred
of the residents of Dayton will be in
the city Friday to testify at the pre-
liminary hearing.
