MALAGA CHRISTMAS.

If anyone was missed by Santa
Claus in this vicinity Christmas eve
we have not heard of it. There was
a Christmas tree at each schoolhouse
besides several trees at private
houses. A short program was rem
dered at the school house and then
Santa proceedd to deliver the many
presnts. The Santa Claus of the Co.
lockum had rather a lively time of
it. His team of RENDERS CD got
frightened near Stemilt creek and
ran away, throwing Santa out, and he
began stringing presents along the
road. The team was caught near the
Prowell ranch, with only three wheels
left to the rig, and tied to the fence,
while a search was made for Santa.
He was found plodding along, picking
up the packages, but none the worse
for his sudden unloading. Everything
was found except jug of cheerful
spirits, which was spirited away.
