Wide Open Places Are Shut
Tight And PinochIe Is
Widest Vice

SHELBY, Mont, June 9.-The wide
open places of Shelby are shut down
tight as a key, and pinochle is the
widest vice of this -badgered
western frontier. Arrivals from New
York Friday who had been told
about the six-gun dances that ten
derfeet might have to perform for
the entertainment of the natives, dis
covered Shelby to be dusty. sprawl
ing settlement, parching in dry semi
tropical heat and rocking of rough
pine newly nailed into the form of
makeshft dwellings and fakirs' con-
cessions.
But Shelby is not snoozing in the
sun. The street is crammed with
flivvers and cars of greater wing
spread and with elephantine trucks
which are trundling whole shanties
into the boom community where they
will be dumped on the prairie and
offered for rent to the money
crowd in the week before the Demp
sey- Gibbons fight on July 4.
There is one dance hall running
but it must close at 8 o'clock in the
evening. The cowboys are there on
the lumpy ball room floor, showing
around painted, powdered and per-
spring dance hall beauties to whom
no formal introduction is required.
IHey may De practical COWBOYS out
their get-up and manner are SO ag
gressively spectacular that they may
rather have come straight from
Hollywood to touch up the wild and
woolly background for the fight
movies.
Tom Gibbons has a good house for
himself and his wife and children,
but the customers who expect to
spend a week or two before the fight
in Shelby may judge of the towns
hospitality by the fact that one man
demands $4,000 rent for his house
until July 4. Gibbons is doing only
road work at present. He expects
to start boxing next Monday.
The residents insist that Shelby
was as tough town as any man
could hope to find until Thursday
night when the state authorities
stepped in and issued orders to be
moral. The saloon is serving moth
ing tougher than lemon pop and the
only wheels of chance are those of
the swift darting flivvers which
dare the pedestrian to try his luck at
the street crossing.
