Des Moines, Dec. Further infor-
nation as to Mrs. Stella Penfield, the
woman who was arrested for shoplift-
ing from the Harris Emery store Sat
urday evening, came to light yesterday.
II develops that Mrs. PenfieId's maiden

Mrs. Penfield has brother, Jesse

ecute the case to the last to make an

shalltown. for new boiler, the same
to be delivered in Grinnell by the first
of September. AS can be seen this
would give the company plenty of time
to get the new boiler in good working
condition before the cold weather came
on. But the A. e. Shorthlll Company
of Marshalltown, could not get the raw
material to construct the boiler, and
consequently were not able to dellve.'
the boiler to the company here at the
time stipulated in the contract. The
ground around the steam mains has
been soaked with water and the COM
pany has been running night and day,
twenty-four hours to the day on the
pressure on the steam mains, thing
never done before, and they have finally
got things in condition that during
the cold weather of the past week
there has been no kicking up to yester-
day with the old boilers, and they
have done it easier with three boilers
than they could a week before with
four boilers. When interviewed on the
subject Mr. Benson said: I'm trying
the mains and heating up we have used
almost SO per cent more coal than
Carney & Hammond ever used during
the month of November, and we ex-
pect to give the same service until the
new boiler comes that we have in the
last week" So it can easily be seen
that the company is doing all in its
power to give. good service to it's pa
irons. and neither is it the fault of
the A. E. Shorthill Company of Mar
shalltown, that the new boiler is not
in place. Some have ninted that they
thought the new boiler was not ordered
until lately, but this is entirely without
foundation, as the writer saw the con-
tract with the Marshalltewn company
and it specifically stated that the boiler
was to be here the first of Septem-
Der, and the date of the order was
in the latter part of June. The man
ufacturers of the boiler are working
night and day on it and they now an:
nounce that it will be here by Decepat

Nevada, Dec 1.-Charlie Allen, an
inmate of the Story county infirmary,
was found dead in bed Thanksgiving
morning. There We're no evidences of
struggle, and it is supposed that he
died while in a spell Of choking, to
which he was subject at times. He was
born in Midway, O., and was 81 years
old. For many years he was familiar
figure on our streets, where his eccen-
trio speech and actions became well
known. Charles mind was never
strong, and he could only speak inco-
herently, yet he was always harmless
and good-natured, and people took an
interest in his welfare. Three years
ago 1t was thought best to remove him
to the poor farm, as he was becoming
weaker in body and in mind. He re-
ceived better care than he could give
and was permitted to come to
town regularly, to go up and down the
street and visit with old acquaintance.
The funeral was held yesterday from
