DEMPSEY RETAINS TITLE BUT GIBBONS
FIGHTS GREAT BATTLE AGAINST ODDS

sey back on his heels. There was not
a knockdown scored but Gibbons man
aged to open old wounds over the
champions eyes.
Fight Brevities
Gibbons weighed in at It's u
pounds, Dempsey at 1873. Gibbons is
6 feet and A inch Dempsey, feet
l inch. Gibbons is 80, Dempsey %.
Financially the fight was a failure.
Nobody is gamer but Dempsey and
many are big losers, but the big bout
was CARED through.
The price of seats was reduced to
SO and finally to SIS.
Gibbons reputation got big boost.
The great majority of the fans seem
ed for him strong before the fight as
well as after.
The reports of Wolf Pointers who
saw the fight tally quite closely with
the printed account.
Kearns and Dempsey get $4,000
and the big end of what money was
taken at the gate.
Gibbons, as challenger, gets only
$780,, as training expenses.
1t was a fine day to take movies
of the fight and 16 machines are said
to have been in action. These may
prove quite help to the finances of
the enterprise.

gathered all available information
and then decided to make a detour
to the north out of Wolf Point and
employed H. c. Saunders as guide
They took with them a large guam
tity of cut paper and established a
paper trail wherever they found de-
tours necessary. Mr.. Saunders con-
tinued with them to Shelby and re-
turned to Wolf Point this morning
He said they had no difficulty in find
ing detour routes. He said they kept
to the north until near Saco when
they came back to the highway for
a time and then were obliged to de-
tour again to get into Harlem. West
of there the highway was very good.
Marking Glacier Trail
The Glacier Trail officials say that
a large amount of work has been done
toward getting the Glacier trail mark
ed and it is fast becoming the pop
ular route with tourists coming to
the northwest from the south and
southeast, particularly from Iowa and
Missouri. The Glacier trail will
eventually reach to Miami, Florida,
and is now quite well known from st.
Louis north. The trail uses the route

SHERIFF ANDERSON
SAVES COUNTY $4,494.51

.Sis months of John H. Anderson's
4 first term as sheriff of Roosevelt
county have passed, and during that
time his office has been run at about
$4,000 less expense to the county
than the office was run for last year
during corresponding period. Two
years at that rate would mean saw
ing of $4,000 to the taxpayers of
the county, an item worth taking in
to consideration.
In 1922 the sheriff's office cost the
county $7,632.32 from January 1 to
July 1. This year during these same
months the expense has been SO,
1871, or only little over Al per
cent of what it was last year. In
other words Sheriff Anderson seems
to be able to save the county more
than he spends. His report
for June follows and speaks for itself

will be the last chance for play
time and vacation, for great many
people, before the long period of
harvest labor begins. The continued
abundant rains make prospects ex-
ceedingly bright for a bountiful har-
vest, which makes most of our peo-
pie feel that they can afford short
period of recreation to relieve the
humdrum of life. 1t is the ore big
show that Wolf Point offers you this
season, and in addition to the enter
tanning features the four days of
Stampede bargains, put on by Wolf
Point merchants, makes a double in
ducement for visiting the city and
offers the opportunity to combine
business with pleasure.

to be with us next week and feels
certain that you will return home

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
PICNIC AT PERSHING

Ben Peterson who was in town to-
day says the Pershing Fourth of July
picnic was attended by fine crowd
that enjoyed itself to the limit. The
program of sports included mems
ball game, a boys ball game, buck
ing contests and small sports and
there were of course picnic dinners
and all the enjoyable features that
go with big community gathering.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture was the returns of the big fight
at Shelby. which were received by
radio. Mr.. Peterson installed his
radio set at the Skaret store for the
occasion. lThe broadcasted story
from Regina was received with re-
markable clearness and loudness.

chance to take in the Stampede and

POPLAR IS BEATEN
AGAIN BY WOLVES
THIS SEASON-WINNNG
SIX IN SIX STARTS

Starting off in the first inning as
though they were not going to get
another chance at the aggregation
of stars Danielson had collected to
pastime for Poplar. the Wolves start
ed the game Sunday with bang,
getting two runs in this frame with
walk to Jacob and hits by Stanley
and Tripp, a walk to Crockett and
an error at short. In the second
Champlin opened the Wolves half
with real three-bagger to center,
scoring a minute later on an error at
third on hard hit ball off Kings
bat. Jacob and Todd then went out
in order but Tripp got life on an
error at short. This, with another
error at third, after Crockett walked
and Shankenberger hit one on the
nose, netted total of four runs or
enough to win.
The Wolves scored two more in the
fourth on an error on Jacobs bound
er to short and hits by Shamley and
Trip, and another in the sixth on
hit by Stanley, his third of the
game, and a two-base hit by Crock
ett.
Poplar got their two runs in the
sixth, after Eagelman had flied out
to left, Conlon placed one where
they weren't, advanced a base on a
hit by Verdon, and two runs scored
when Eaton. playing the sun field,
lost Herstrom's high fly. This error
was excusable on account of the sun
getting low and hitting right field at
1 bad angle.
The Wolves looked better than in
my game they played this season,
hitting when hits meant runs.
King never was in danger and had /
he Poplar players eating out of his
'and from the start. He eased up in
he sixth with nine run lead and
lfter allowing them to score two runs
ightened up and never was in dam
Ter. He got nine strikeouts again
n this game.

GLASGOW PLAYS HERE

The next ball game will be played
in Wolf Point Sunday with Glasgow
and it is likely to prove a real con-

than anything yet witnessed.
The Wolves hope to lengthen their
string of consecutive victories to
seven, but will have to extend them
selves to do it as Glasgow will come
down strong.
Manager Rae is trying to arrange
games for Friday and Saturday

VIDA CELEBRATION DREW
BIG CROWD ON FOURTH

Wolf Pointers returning from Vida
say that the celebration there was
by far the biggest and best they have
ever had and was attended by a crowd
estimated at from 1000 to 5000
people. All the features of the day
were carried out in good style and
good order and good nature prevail
ed all through the crowds. There
was a very interesting program of
sports and races and Attorney Gra-
ham of Richey delivered an address.
The top liner among the sports
was the ball game between Vida and
Hamblin, which turned out a victory
for Vida by score of II to 7.
Hamblin made a strong beginning
but couldn't keep up the pace in the
closing innings Lefty williams was
in the box for Hamblin and Elmer
Dye for Vida.
The fight returns by radio was a
big attraction.
Another strong attraction was the
dance which held forth until the
early morning hours with Krebs-
bach's Syncopators furnishing the en-
ticing music. There was of course
an abundance of good things to eat
and drink which made the day "a
picnic for everybody. Sixty
or seventy cars conveyed several
hundred Wolf Pointers and Northsid-
RS to the big Southside affair and
hey all say everybody enjoyed a
yrand good time.

OCCIDENT ELEVATOR
HIT BY LIGHTNING
TEARS TWO HOLES IN CUPOLA
ROOF-JUMPS TO OIL HOUSE
SETS 1T AFIRE

The sharp electrical storm that ac-
companied this mornings rain got in
touch with Wolf Point through the
medium of the Occident elevator,
which stands at the east end of Elevat-
or Row. 1t was another illustration
of the freakish things that lightning
does. The bolt struck the elevator
at the comb of the roof of the cupola
apparently entering through a hole
about the size that would be made by
a large calibre bullet. Then it APP
pears to have come out at the ex-
treme south end of the roof, tearing
a hole two or three feet in diameter.
The freakish feature was that the
bolt, or portion of it, entered the
oil house which stands some distance
south of the elevator, and is not con-
nected with it, and set fire to the
woodwork of the interior. The
is low and only about ten
feet square and is covered with sheet
metal.
Fred Bettschen, manager of the
Occident. was sitting in the office,
which is between the elevator and the
oil house. The stroke threw him out
IF his chair and gave him severe
shock In taking a survey of things
1e noticed smoke issuing from the
Ill house, and securing pail of water
lie opened the door and put out the
olaze that was burning the boards
which lined one side of the room.
Opening small room that was on
ire and contained large tank of
,asoline, was not exactly a pleasant
OBJ, but it had to be done. Fire
hief Howe was at the scene in a
hort time and the cap was removed
rom the gasoline tank, which had be-
ONE quite heated, to allow the su-
erfuous gas to escape.
Mr.. Bettschen says it was a piece
f great good luck that the elevator
yas not ignited at the top, as it
vould have been almost impossible
D extinguish the fire in such a posi-
on
He believes that the fact that he
ept his cupola fairly free from dust
lay have served very valuable
urpose in this case.
The Montana-Dakota elevator,
hich stands next west of the Occi-
ent, got such a strong dose of the
ectricity that all fuses were blown
1T and the glass in the face of the
ectric meter was blown out and !
ross the Office with such force that
cracked a window.

LAND-TOMMY STAYS
THE WHOLE ROUTE
KEARNS: "HE'S GOOD"
Crowd Is Disappointing, Promoters
Take Big Losses-Dempsey
Gets 100000 Plus

Jack Dempsey retains his title of
worlds champion through receiving
the decision of Referee Dougherty in
the 15-round battle with Tommy Glib
bons of ST. Paul, fought at Shelby
July a Gibbons, by staying the
whole route, achieved one of the most
surprising upsets In the history of
championship fights. He kept intact
his record of never being knocked
out and never knocked down. 5He
was on his feet at the end of the
fifteenth round, although appearing
very tired and was described as hold
ing on desperately.
The result was a big surprise to
the sport experts as Dempsey was a
strong favorite in the opinions ex-
pressed before the fight and in the
small amount of betting that was
done. 1t had been freely predicted
that Dempsey would win by knock
out within seven rounds. Gibbons,
by his game showing against the
mighty champion surprised even his
friends and ardent supporters. In
several rounds he carried the fight
ing to his slugging opponent and in
at least three rounds was given a
shade in expert opinion.
From Great Falls Tribune
The result was evidently a surprise
to Jack Kearns, manager of the heavy
weight champion, who stuck his head
between the ropes after the fight and
shouted to the newspaper reporters
at the ringside:
''It was nice fight, wasn't it? Glib
bons is a good man.
Referee Jimmy Dougherty did not
hesitate a, minute before raising
Dempsey's right hand and proclaim
ing him the winner. Gibbons, his
face blood-smeared from bleeding
lips and bruised nose, quickly ex-
tended his hands to the champion and I
trotted to his corner, where he re
ceived deafening ovation.
Despite the police protection, the
crowd quickly swarmed into the ring
and over into the challenger's corner
pounding him on the back and throw
ing their hats into the air. Gibbons
smiled broadly at this friendly dem
onstration while the champion was in
the opposite corner having his gloves
removed. preparatory to leaving the
ring under the escort of Chicago de- ]
tectlves.
Short Range Punishment
Dempsey inflicted severe punish
ment on the challenger in the clinches
and at short range, beating him on
the back of the head with his famous
rabbit punch that Jared Gibbons to
his heels. Most of the ring fighting '
was done at close quarters and Glib |
bone was guilty of holding several '
times. Dempsey repeatedly attempt 6
