Rose p. Dufcy. Deputy rostma.ter at
Parnell, Is Accused of Stealing
One Thousand Dollars

Miss Rose p. Duffey, the i9-year-old
girl deputy postmaster at Parnell,
has been held to the federal grand
jury on a charge of. embczzicment. 1t
is stated the shortage in the office
is $1,000. Post Office Inspector Stew
art was ordered to Parnell several
days ago, owing to. the fact that the
authorities had failed to receive any
response from Postmaster Ryan ask
ing that remittance for money orders
be made. Postmaster Ryan claimed
he had received no such letters, and
when questioned Miss Dulfcy placed
the missing letters in the hands of
the postmaster.
inspection revealed the fact that
there was shortage of about $1,000
The case was complicated one, how
ever, and puzzled the authorities con-
s'derably. Miss Duffey was arrested
and taken to Cedar Rapids and ar
ra'gned before Commissioner Stew
art. She was placed under bonds of
$1,000 and the case continued until
April %.
MISS DuHey is popular IN her home
and her friends declare she is inno-
cent. The evidence is largely circum-
stantial. At first there appeared to
be deficit Of $4,000, but since the
first investigation some of the money
has been found scattered about the
post Office, secreted in books. en-
velopes and small paper sacks.
Enough was found to reduce the
shortage to $1,000.

"Plumer has occupied Petersburg, with

patch only one officer and one man

Plumer's arrival, after blowing up
two trucks laden with ammunition.
Lord Kitchener further reports the
capture of 16 prisoners, SO horses
and the depot of war stores at Bosh-
manskop, Orange River Colony.
AS an offset, the commander-in-
chief reports that detachment of
100 men of the Fifth lancers and i'm
perial yeomanry were attacked by
400 Beers to the northward of .Aber-
deem, Cape Colony, and that after sew
eral hours fighting the British were
surrounded and captured, with the
exception of 25 who succeeded in
making their escape.

OIL DISCOVERED.
First Find of Free Petroleum in Iowa
IL Made Near n Small Creek in
Greenfield.

Thomas f. Pricketts discovered Pc
troleum flowing from the bank of the
creek in the south part of Greenville.
This is the first discovery of petro-
leum In Iowa. The oil flows away in
the surface water in this moss and
can be traced for several miles down
the stream. Gas has been struck near
there in ditching, also large sub
terranean lake, and coal has been
found. The oil is Enthusiastically crude
petroleum and will burn.
Oil Indications have been found on
adjoining farm land before, but not
flowing freely from the ground. The
geological formation of that part of
the state shows stratas of coal of
various depths below the surface.
Much excitement prevails and hum
dreds of people from the surrounding
country have visited the present find.
The discoverer has refused $4,000 for
his town lot in which he made the
discovery The adjoining farm prop
erty is held at several hundred dol
