SANTA CLAUS and
RENDERS VISIT
IL4RIOUS CHRISTMAS RECEPTION
rendered TO their FRIEND BY
The KIDDIES AT ELK'S HOME

Santa Claus surely arrived in state
and was received with suitable hon
ors at the home of Rawlins Lodge
No. sos, B. p. o. E.. where several
hundred kiddies were guests of the
hospitable Elks in one of the most
delightful OF these annual affairs
which has ever been held since they
became a regular feature Of Yule
Tide in Rawlins.
During the plight before Christ
mas" there was a light snow fall.
which made II easy for Santa and
his RENDERS. so that he arrived ex-
actly on schedule time. $3.50 in the
afternoon, with the huge sleigh load
ed to the guards with good things
for the boys and girls OF Rawlins,
who had been invited to be the
guests Of the Elks while Santa Claus
was here. Word was received from
the distinguished visitor over the
new wireless set which has recently
been installed in Elks Home that he
was leaving his ~ice-bound home in
the North and driving furiously so as
not to disappoint his many little
friends.
Santa was given parking space for
his %reindeers and sleigh in the spac-
ious lodge room and then the Riddles
began to arrive in droves. 1t hardly
seemed possible that there were so
many children in the city, but there
was a present for every child and not
one was disappointed. Santa him
self insisted on doing the honors and
in spite of his long hard trip he
handed each boy and girl the Christ
mas reminder which the Elks had in
structed him by wireless to bring
with him.
There was no set program aside
from the gift distribution. The little
folks ate their candy and compared
notes on how they had Jared during
the past happy hours in the way Of
Christmas gifts and for an hour or
so had the jolliest time imaginable.
The kindly Elks and their wives. sis
fers and sweethearts were there In
force and all added : the general
enjoyment OF the occasion as much
as possible.
Tho afternoon was made doubly
agreeable and enjoyable by the
presence OF the Rawlins Band, which
] played and played and played to the
delight of the children and the
grown-ups also. Rawlins has reason
10 be pround OF its band. which is
heard in public altogether too sell
dom. but the BOYS certainly added
greatly to the pleasure OF all on
Christmas Day and should thus pub
licly be made acquainted with the
fact that their efforts were fully
appreciated.

LIVELY FIRE

The volunteer fire department was
called out yesterday morning to ex-
tinguish a blaze in n shed on the al
ley in the rea of the house on the
southwest corner of Lincoln High
way and Second street. Some care
less person had dumped a mess of
hot ashes against the wooden walls
of the shed and when the department
arrived the whole thing was a mass
of flames.
A stream was playing on the fire
in less than a minute after the fire
truck arrived and what might have
been a disastrous fire was prevented
as there was n high wind blowing at
the time. Quite a bit of amusement
was afforded by the TACT that the fire
siren was blown Justify after the fire

-four STRAIGHT VICTORIES
FOR RAWLINS HIGH School,
LOCAL BASKET BALL CHAMPS END swing ROUND
The circle With UNBR0kEN RECORD. RE-
CEIVED GREAT RECEPTION EVERYWHERE

A week ago yesterday morning the Rawlins High School
basket ball team started out on its first tour of the season. which
was to take them to the western part of the state, where four
games were scheduled for as many evenings, an unusually rigorous
program. The boys made their start with a record of three games
won on the home floor, but as stated, the 1928 team had not yet
played on a foreign floor, with the exception of one member
who was on the team last year.
Some Gloomy Gus had made the prediction that the team
would slump" as soon as the boys were forced to play on strange
floors and in strange surroundings. So far was this gloomy fore
cast from what did actually happen that members of the victorious
squad are entitled to a series, of chortles and gloats, in which the
whole city will gladly join, fo&r they established a record of which
they may well be proud and one which will no doubt stand for
many moons. Not only did out team play four games, on four
nights,in four different places, but in spite of the fatigue of
travel they reduced their opponents score each night. The fol
lowing interesting summary of the series is furnished The Repub-
lcan through the courtesy of Coach De Lacey:
