McNQbb Puts Mdru
McN0bb in Trouble

Mrs. Mary McNabb. received the let.
ter sent to Mrs. Mary McNabb and
cashed the enclosed check made pay
able to Mrs. Mary McNabb but 1t was
not the right Mrs. Mary McNabb.
This was the situation Chief of Po-
lice Peter Gallagher faced when he In
vestigated the cashing of check sent
to Mrs. Mary McNabb of Delta, to the
Ottumwa post ONCE but which she
never received.
Mrs McNabb, OF Delta, while visit
ing here, had written to r. Root, at
the Delta bank, asking for $50 Of her
account and as the bank was closed
Mr.. Root, sent her a personal check
and on the back of the letter, received
by him, he wrote note as an identifi-
cation. The check was submitted at
the First National bank here and re-
turned to Mr.. Root, cancelled. Mrs.
McNabb called on Mr.. Root and asked
why the money was not sent to her
and an investigation followed.
This morning Mrs. Mary McNabb,
residing on rural route No. 5, called at
the station and told Mr. Gallagher
that she had received the letter at the
general delivery window. She gave
as her reason for cashing the check
that she had relatives In Delta and
thought that they had sent the money
to her. She became aware that the let
ter was not intended for her when
Chief Gallagher drove out to her home
and left word with her son that he
wanted to see her.
Mrs. Mary McNabb, living on Route
No. has made arrangements to re.
turn the money to Mrs. Mary McNabb
of Delta.

Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. 22.--Wheat turned
weak today after an early advance,
had resulted from higher quotations
at Liverpool Argentine reports, how
ever telling of fine weather for the
harvest and Of large yield assured
gave an advantage to the bears. Open
ing prices, which were unchanged to
A@Rc higher, with December at
$1.24@1.24A and May at 1.2bA q q,
were followed by reaction to below
yesterdays finish.
Subsequent rallies on signs Of export
business failed to last. The market
closed TX to csc net lower, with De-
cember at $1.21x and May at $1.23.
Corn rose to the highest prices OF the
1915 crop. The buying was largely
speculative. After opening 4 to NC
higher, the market made some further
gain then reacted
Later the market rose on belief that
the government had overestimated the
crop, but top prices were not well
maintained. The close was at h@A to
y d Nc net advance.
Oats hardened with corn.
Liberal receipts Of hogs weakened
provisions. Reports showed that slaugh
terings in the west continued heavy as
compared with year ago.
