RUMOR CAUSED
EXCITEMENT
STATEMENT THAT KING GEORGE
HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED AT
DELHI, INDIA, SPREAD LIKE
WIUDFTRE.
BY Associated Press.

London, Dec. IA vague rumor
that King George had been assassi-
mated at Delhi, India, spread like wild
fire through London this morning.
Nobody knows where it originated, but
it created immense excitement in the
city and west end.
This was only allayed when a dis
patch from Delhi, timed las midday,
was received simply announcing the
carrying out of the royal program and
not mentioning any untoward incident.
The reports of fires in the Delhi dur
bar camp have been grossly exagger-
ated and the disaffection among a
small section in the Indian natives has
been brought prominently to public
notice in the newspapers.
officials at the India office could not
account for the rumor.

skirts. His left arm is burned from
wrist to shoulder and his chest, neck
and chin are badly burned, but he will
recover and the doctor thinks he will
not be badly SCARED.

are suing John p. White, international
president; w. H. Rogers, Iowa presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of

signed in small numbers. The negroes
were imported to fill their places, but
were refused admission to the union

RAINFALL IN DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, s. H., June 29-Somc
interesting comparisons of the rain
fall and temperature of this part of
the state can be made as the result of
an inspection of the records In the Of
flee OF the local voluntary weather OBJ
server These show something of the
lack of moisture during the past two
years compared with that for 1909.
The rainfall for the three years, from
January l to June %, was as follows.
In 1909, 1881 inches; 1910, 707
inches; 1911, S.34 inches. That the
rainfall thus far this year has been
greater than during the corresponding
period of last year will be a surprise
to many. The figures show that the
total rainfall from January l to June
% of this year was but little more
than half what the rainfall was dur
ing the corresponding period in 1909.
The temperature also has varied
greatly this year compared with the
average temperature during June,
1909. The average temperature for
June, 1909. was "a; for 1910, 49, and
for 1911, %, this having been the hot
