Relatives of J. W. Beckman have received no word from Jim since the sinking of the Lusitania, although they know he was not on board the ship. They are mighty glad that he was not with Elbert Hubbard, whose private secretary he is, for both Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard lost their lives and the same fate would doubtless have befallen Jim.* , T • A rumor was circulated here this morning that President Wilson had been assassinated. Soon after the word was sent here by wire another dispatch denying the report came. All breathed a sigh of relief when the second message came. It would be a direful calamity to have an act of this kind committed. It would be the deed only of a maniac.
