DATE is FIXED.
Leap Year Ball Will Take Place Niqht
of April 6.

April 6 is the date fixed for the
leap year ball that some of the young
ladies have arranged to give. The
affair will be managed throughout by
it's originators and for once the So
called sterner sex will have to be
content to remain in the background.
This, though, will probably be a de-
cidedly pleasant experience, as it
means all the little attentions and
c%ourtesies usually bestowed upon the
opposite. Fair men will receive invi-
tations and brave women will escort
them to and from the hall; will wait
on them at the hall; will see to it that
their programmes are properly filled
and that none will adorn the walls,
instead of gracing the floor with their
grace of movements and suppleness
Of form. Into their delicate, little
hands will be placed dainty dishes,

cious bodies will be snugly slowed

arranged to keep off chilly draughts
and their train of direful possibili.
ties.
Thirty-eight is the number of ladies
who have c%onspired to give an evening
of are pleasure and novelty to the
men considered worthy of such atten-
ton. In order that the dear, young
things may not be wholly overcome
with h%ashfulness, the conspirators
have enlisted. into their service the
following patrons and patronesses:

COLOMBIA LOSES ITS SUIT IN
FRENCH COURT.
HAS NO LEGAL STANDING
Republic Shown to Be Without Juris-
diction Over Territory Ira.
versed by Canal.

Paris, March 31.-The first tribunal
Of the Seine today decided the case
of the republic of Colombia against
the Panama Canal company, against
Colombia. The decision holds that
the complaint Of Colombia is not re-
ceivable and condemns the plaintiffs
to pay the cost of the action. This
decision has the effect of removing
the legal obstacles in the way OF the
transfer of the concession from the
company to the United States.
The decision is a lengthy document,
fully reviewing all circumstances OF
the commission and setting forth the
facts of the treaty of March 20, 1878,
whereby the company acquired it's
rights.
"These rights" says the decision,
'have the manifest purpose OF assur-
ing the full exercise of sovereignty
over the canal. 1t appears from what
is 0SIdDllSleQ before CQlS LTlDuudl JQaL
Colombia is not in possession of the
territory traversed by the canal; by
coming before the French court, in or
der to obtain it's right over the canal,
Colombia tacitly admits it's inability
to itself control the canal.
'It therefore follows naturally that
it has lost sovereignty over the terri
tory traversed by the canal. 1t also
appears that this sovereignty is main
tanned by the new republic of Panama,
which is in actual possession of the
authority and power and administra-
ton. Under such circumstances, it
only remains for the Panama company
ito accept the actual situation, and the
facts relative to the territory en-
braced by the concession.
Therefore the action commenced
by Colombia is not receivable"

WANTS TO BE COWBOY.
Youthful Rover Leaves Home With.
out Parents Consent.

Request was made at the sheriff
Office a few days ago by T. G. Armi-
tage to assist in ascertaining the
whereabouts OF his son, Sidney, who
left his home last Sunday, without
saying a word to any m or obtaining
the consent of his parents. When the
| boy took his departure he also took
along four cayuses, his personal pro-
perty.
The father gave it as his belief that
Sidney had gone to Bridger, where
he knew a man of whom he had fire.
quently spoken and whose companion
he appeared anxious to be. Acting
on this, Mr.. Hubbard brought the
telephone into requisition and later
in the day learned that the lad was
there. He communicated the fact
to Mr.. Armitage, who said he would
do nothing just then in the way OF
getting his son back. He intimated
that he did not care much whether
the BOY did carry OuC MIS- threat 10
become a cowboy, but did not seem
to fancy the man with whom he had
associated himself, as the latter is
said to be somewhat Indifferent to the
ownership of such animals as he may
take a fancy to. Mrs. Armitage took
the matter more seriously and suffered
all of a mothers grief at the way
wardness of her boy.
The runaway attended school in the
city, but it is said of him that he
more frequently absented himself than
he vas present, having a weakness
for playing "hookey." 1t was reported
yesterday that the boy had left
Bridger, but of this the sheriff knew
nothing. Mr.. Hubbard said he had
not interested himself in the case
since he had reported the lads pres
ence at Bridger.

NO A LOSSES.
Recent Storm Causes Little Damage
! in MusseIshelI Valley.

neCSHI OIOFm OduSeS IspIle Oafna1(
in MusseIshell Valley.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Harding re
turned last night from a visit to. his
ranch on the Musselshell. He brough,
about the first authentic account oil
the work of the storm that swept ove1
the country the 23rd and oath OF las
month, so far as relates to that sec
tion.
Mr.. Harding says that it was I'm
doubtedly the worst that was ever ex.
%perienced in that region. The wind
at times attained the velocity of a
gale and was accompanied by snow,
while the thermometer registered as
low as eight degrees below zero. In
spite of this he is of the opinion that
the losses to range stock will not be
very heavy. Some bands OF sheep be-
came badly scattered and drifted over
immense areas, but these have been
gathered again and it has been found
that only a few persisted. The losses
to cattle are confined principally to
calves and some of the weaker ami
mails that have been kept on feed.
Fortunately only little snow re-
mains, and this is confined to drifts,
leaving the ground bare. The grass
has already made a good start and
with a weeks moderate weather will
afford considerable feed for stock.
Two casualties are reported in con-
sequence of the storm. In both in
stances sheepmen are the victims.
One of the men, employed as a camp
tender by William Cooley, sustained
a broken leg. He was in the vicinity
of Mud springs and a horse that he
was riding fell on him. The accident
occurred last Friday Or Saturday, but
because of the bad weather and hard
travelling it was impossible to get
the man to the Musselshell crossing
until several days a%fteryard. The
other man was a herder in the en-
ploy of Nolan & Archer. When the
storm began he attempted to drive a
band of sheep he was holding to the
firms corral. When within 100 yards
of the enclosure the sheep broke and
got beyond the mans control. He fol-
lowed them and remained out all
night. When found, the newt day,
it. was discovered. that both OF his feet
were frozen. When Mr.. aHrding left
preparations were making to bring the
unfortunate fellow to town and place
him in the hospital. 1t was thought
that both members would have to be
amputated.
