A slight sprinkle of rain came Sunday night, continuing along at intervals until Monday night, when a nice steady downpour set in and continued most of the night. Yesterday was clear and cooler. The rain was needed badly, and we need considerable more to wet the ground deep enough for the farmers to be able to do any plowing.

In some unexplained manner the report became current here Saturday evening that Miss Lucille Marshall, daughter of Mr. and -Mrs. Geo. E. Marshall, had died at her home in Rogue River Valley, Oregon, where the family now Aside. A friend of the family here called up Miss Minnie Bartoo of Remington, a sister of Mrs. Marshall, to learn If there was any truth in the rumor. Miss Bartoo stated that she had got a letter from Miss Lucille a few days before stating that she was well, and teaching school and getting 960 per month, and hoped to save enough out of her wages to finish her way through college. Miss Bartoo had also received a letter Saturday from Mrs. Marshall stating that they were all In good health. It Is not known how or where the false rumor originated.
