RAWLINS WILL
PLAY SUPERIOR
ARMISTICE DAY

On Armistice Day, Tuesday. No
vember 18th, the Superior High
School football team will play a re-
turn game with the Rawlins High
School on Rawlins' field. AS far as
is known, no other program has been
scheduled for the day. thus every
resident of this city and Parco should
turn out to see the biggest, as well
as the last and best football game
Of the year.
The first meeting of these two
teams was on the Superior field on
October 18th when Rawlins came
out on the small end of the score 6
to O. The game, however, was
played in a snowstorm and the Raw
Inns boys we're worn out from the
game played with Rock Springs the
previous day. Since that meeting,
Coach Bolkan has had more time to
get his team in shape and teach
them a few more of the football prin-
ciples which could not be taught in
the short time he had to coach the
team before the western games. The
Rawlins football fans saw the great
Improvement in the Rawlins team
when it played Laramie high school
on Rawlins' field and they may &C

ing they are going to see a good
brand of football and a wonderful
game.
When a high school student calls
at the many places of business. buy
a ticket for the game-do not only
buy a ticket but attend the game
and give the team all the support
possible. Rawlins has several scores
to even with Superior and without
doubt the fur will fly soon after the
whistle blows on the afternoon OF
November 18th. The game will be
gin at 2:30 in the afternoon on the
Rawlins field. Attend the game ant

John e. Buchanan, Democratic
candidate Tor county clerk. was re-
elected to that position by a fair
majority.
One Of the closest contests in the
entire county was that for sheriff
with the present incumbent, A. A.
Sanders, and Geo. c. Austin running
neck-and-neck throughout the county.
The returns as received from all ex-
cepttng one precinct of the county
show hat Austin, the Republican
candidate, is leading by 46 votes.
Morgan precinct is still to be heard
from. There will probably not be
more than 10 votes cast in this pre-
cinct so the election Of Austin Is a
certainty.
The closest contest in the county,
however, is that between C. F. Jebens
and Penn l.. Gooldy for county COM
missioner, 4-year term. At the pres
ent time Gooldy is leading by 10
votes. 1t is barely possible that the
outstanding precincts may change
this result.
w. NJ. Englehart, Democrat, is
elected county commissioner. 2-year
term. by a small majority. This
gives the Democrats control of the
DuSineSB dlIalTB OF the county as the
hold-over commissioner. C. w. Nor
gan. is a Democrat. The new board
will undoubtedly be organized with
Mr.. Morgan al chairman.
Mrs. Laura Heath vas reelected
county treasurer by an overwhelm-
ing majority, she leading the ticket.
Will F. Daley was reelected coun-
ty assessor by a huge majority. Mr..
Daley ran second on the ticket, Mrs.
Heath being the only candidate with
more votes that him.
Stella J%ungquist IA reelected
clerk of court. Miss JungQuist was
unopposed for this position.
A. II. McMicken, Democrat. was
reelected as county attorney by a
good majority.
NJ. Il. Pickett was elected As cor
oner and Jas. w. Wisda was re-
elected as surveyor. Both Mr.. Pick
EFT and Mr.. Wisda are Republicans.
In the city the Democrats were
successful In electing both their
Justices OF the Peace. l.. Schalk was
elected in Precincts No. 2 and 4. +.
X. Watson was elected In precincts /
and 3.
The Republicans elected both con-
stables for Rawlins. Jack Sheahan

HEAVY LOSS
GARAGE FIRE
FRIDAY MORNING

A loss of between $4,000 and
$4,000 was suffered in the fire
which completely destroyed the gar
age which was conducted by the
White Sales Company on Tenth st.
between Pine and Spruce streets,
early Friday morning II last week.
The building which was owned by
Mike Lynch was covered by insur-
ance but the three White trucks and
four touring cars we're a complete
loss.
The fire was discovered by neigh
bors about W O'Clock Friday morn.
ing n the alarm a sent in. BY
the time the fire department arrived
on the scene the fire had made q
great start in the hard wind which
was blowing. Much credit Is due the
fire boys for saving the supply room
which was connected on to the right
side OF the building for had 1t been
burned a much heavier loss would
have been suffered. This supply
station is n of the most modern
and complete In the state OF Wyom-
Ing. Also the small private garage
on the left side of the garage was
saved.
The cause of the fire is not known
but It Is believed by some that the
small gas stove may have been left
burning and In some ann caught
some inflamable object near It.
Tho fire was especially hard to
fight for many times the fire boys
had II almost under control when
a gas tank in one Of the cars would
blow up spreading the fire again. The
explosion OF the largo tires on the
trucks acted In the same manner a.
the gas tanks. Because OF the high
velocity OF the wind that evening. II
was thought for q while that the
fire would spread to several build
ings which were close to the garage
and large pieces Of burning wood
were blown many yards to the east.
A call was sent in to the Psrco nre
department and II responded in an
excellent n That department
was held In reserve in case n fire
should spread to some other section
of the immediate vicinity. The fire
department was on the Job until about
seven o'clock In the morning.
The loss of the trucks belonging
TO Bill Cohagcn. Jim Sloane and
Evan Howard will be greatly left for
In all they were valued at about
$4,000. The Cadillac belonging TO
Harry J. stephens OF the Stephens
Taxi company was also a heavy loss.
The other three cars were owned by
the company.
Frank Molandcr. manager of the
company. suffered n loss OF about
$4,000 and other Losses from tools.
machinery. etc. belonging TO the ne
chanics Will run the amoun OF the
loss up considerably.
Molandor states that before long
n new building will be erected but
for the present temporary quarters
have been established at the Smiley
garage on Front street. A force OF
workmen began Saturday the clear

the new building will be started In

Opposition had arisen to Mrs. Blair's s

threat Of bringing up for considera-

rule by which Democratic national
conventions are compelled to cast a
two-thirds vote for it's nominees for

a choice is made. Many of the COM
mitteemen. however, said they were
opposed to tackling this question.
They could see no justification for
hurting this potentially dynamic issue

would be peaceful. The members Of
