sacks of papers and bags of letters

Montana Stock Losses-The Me-
dora, Billings Co., N. D. Herald,
says that while other localities are
short Of fuel the rancher and towns
men in western North Dokato have
r]enty of Ignite coal and enough to
eat. But regarding stock, The.Herald
says:-"The last few weeks 10 Bill
ings county have been hard for the
stock on account Of the deep snow
which continues to fall and the ran
chers with good stacks of hay are the
ones that are feeling happy. II the
weather continues this way for sew
eral weeks, losses are bound to follow
in. this locality, but nothing serious
is reported so far. In Dawson coun-
ty, Montana, conditions have i'm.
proved. Wind has uncovered enough
grass for the stock to feed and the
losses will not be as great as at first
reported. North and west Of Glendive
sheepmen are sustaining heavy losses.
At Howard thousands of dead sheep
are to be seen. One f1Ockmaster out
of feed, started a band of 1900 for
the--railroad during the severe.weath-
er and lost half in making the drive.
Cattlemen are also experiencing Sc.
we're reverses, and the aggregate loss
in eastern Montana will no doubt
reach millions of dollars. The snow
is so deep that grazing is almost i'm
possible in places and the hay re-
serve, as q rule is SMALL"

Al Leach Not Coming.

After being on the road but brief
week. Manager Brady has decided to
call i'll his Happy Days" the musical
comedy of which Al Leach was the
chief comedian. This was done de
spite the fact that the show was max
ing money. Manager Brady was sat
iSti2d that the piece was not receiving
the UNQUALIFIED endorsement of the
public. if the patronage was SCOdly.
and 50 his good business sense in
duced him to discontinue the tour
that had been arranged for. The
large attendance met with was easily
accounted for in the popularity of Mr.
Leach. and it was this prestige Of his
star that Mr.. Brady chiefly considered
in making up his mind to call the
show back to New York. He did not
care t. run the risk of having AL
Leach'S drawing power diminished
because Of the production furnished
him. Happy DAYS" is said to have
been very funny in spots and the
critics say the show can easily be
mad" Il pronounced success. When 1t
gets back to the workshop Manager
Brady may have it reconstructed and
aSain submitted for public approval

alongside of 'MOlasscs,' who never pays
any attention to her until the curtain

twice as much music and singing as the
average musical comedy and more plot
and stronger situations than most out

sic and drama in one piece and in The
HoneymOOners' lie tells u powerful and
