Recent scanning tunneling microscope measurements on magnetic clusters reveal an anomalous conductance dip at zero bias voltage, whenever the cluster consists of an odd number of magnetic atoms [Science, {\bf 312}, 1021 (2006)]. We address the conductance anomaly within a model, and reproduce the conductance dip with the only assumption that the magnetic cluster has a conducting level near the Fermi level of the system. We show that the width of the conductance dip scales quadratically with external magnetic fields, in excellent agreement with experiments. In addition, we predict that the presence of the impurity will be measurable as inelastic Friedel oscillation in the substrate density of electron states.
