it baked at nothing to obtain 2
marriage license in the wee small
hours yesterday morning-resulted
in a rude awakening for the swain
when he rubbed his eyes to dis
cover, not only his bride gone. but
his money, watch and other jewelry.
Heartbroken at his loss-of his
bride, not his money-Crouch sum-
moned Moline police to his bedside
at the Manufacturers hotel ats
o'clock this morning. To them he
poured out his story of unreQuit-
ted love. Nearby stood bottle Of
bromo seltzer and one Of ginger
ale. The condition Of the room
seemed to bear mite witness TO
Crouch's supposition that there
must have been a wild party" and
his own appearance Supported his
statement that he had been "the
life of the party"
According to Crouch It was all
a case of love at first sight. They
met, he wooed. and they came to
Rock Island to get license. The
knot was tied, but Crouch says he
doesn't know who did it. Anyhow.
he admits, it was a bungled piece
of work.

story Of which Crouch probably
has no record. At any rate he did
not mention them. He hasn't told

o'clock to come down and issue the
license. The knot was tied soon
after the issuance of the license.

had gone to Fond du Lac, with the
Echoes of Broadway" company, OF
which she was a member. She was
one of the baby vamp' chorus and
had been playing in Moline at the
Palace theatre. -,ge.
Crouch after accusing his wife
of taking his valuables, tempered
his claims by declaring that prob
ably someone else committed the
theft.
| Crouch said he is a special agent
for the Burlington lines and that
his home is in St. LBuis- The H.
cense was issued to Fred Crouch,
giving his home as 'Galesburg, and
to Emile Russell of Philadelphia
He declared his intentions OF 60

attempting to effect q reconcilia-
