Warren Brown, then of the Evening
Journal, Scope" Gleason, of the
San Francisco Call, and the writer.
1t was there that Kearns asked for
additional advice, and the advice Civ
en- him was to go ahead with the
fight at all hazards
1t was there that Kearns formulat-
ed the plan. generally approved by
those present, of taking over the gate
on his own account, and adding to
the money he had already collected
toward the promised 100000 purse
whatever came In.
At Z O'Clock in the morning,
Kearns and big crowd of newspa-
per writer's who had not yet been to
bed, climbed aboard train for Shell
by, and the battle ground.
These will be pleasant reminisc-
ences years from now for the men
who covered" that fight.
They will recall, fondly, the col
or" of Shelby; the cowboys, the In
dians, the hints of dire trouble, the
picturesque mayor, and the pictur-
esque citizens, the dance halls, the
oil drillers, the sinister-looking body
guard headed by "Injun BILL" that
attended Dempsey into the ring.
| Men who saw the Sullivan-Kilbane
fight at Richburg, Miss, love to re-
call that tremendous event, in pugIl-
istic history as "colorful' in its way,
no doubt, as the Dempsey Gibbons
battle.
The writer is pleased to learn from
Mr.. O'Neill that the financial havoc
of the fight In Shelby was not as ter
rifle as reported.
He found the citizens of the has
tily-made little town hospitable, affa-
BILE. He found them enterprising
eager to do something to make their
little city known far and wide.
Perhaps 1t took the wrong method
of expressing that energy, that en-.
terprise, to the world. That is Meth.
er here nor there. They were trying
to DO SOMETHING. That is more
than can be said Of other communi.
ties.
The writer found the city OF Great
Falls one of the finest and mos
metropolitan little cities he has evel
encountered anywhere, the people
magnificent intheir hospitality, il
their eagerness to make one feel al
home.
He found the great State of Mon
tana, as he always found 1t In Other
years, growing. going ahead in ma
iestic strides, busy and prosperous
up-to-theminute 1t has always beer
a great state, 1t will always be

RULING WILL
MEAN A SAVING TO
WOOL MEN
MONTANA SHIPPERS WILL SAVE
$50, 900 ANNUALLY, SAYS
COMMISSIONERS REPORT
Cut In Both East and West Bound
Rates to Take Effect on October
23, Next, Varying From 5 to IL
Per Cent.

Freight rates ON wool shipments
from Montana to eastern seaboard
markets will be reduced on an av-
erage of 8 per cent, effective Octo-
Der 23, next, as a result OF the rec
ent interstate commerce commits
sion order denying authority to
carriers to establish or continue
lower rates on wool fro mthe Paci-
fic Coast terminals to the east than
from intermediate points,. This
information was part of a recent
report of the state board of railway
commissioners.
The proposed reductions will vary
from per cent from eastern Montana
points TO II per cent from western
state points.
Taking an 100000 pound Cliff
as basis, Montana wool shippers will
save more than $4,000 annually
the board announced. Under the pre-
sent scale the maximum rate from
western Montana to Boston, assum
ing Missoula is representative point
is s2.73h per hundred weight, which
would be reduced to s2.42. Assam
ing Miles City as a representative
eastern Montana point, the present
minimum rate. from Montana to Bos
ton of s2.13h per hundred weight
would be reduced to $2.02. These
rates would be subject to minor
changes in preparing tariffs over the
various workable routes, the boart
announced. Another feature of ths
commission order is the compilation
of rates to the east ON a single direc
tariff basis instead of the present
system of computing rates from {
combination of tariffs from the var
ious terminals.
West-bound rates to the Pacific
coast were also ordered established
on basis of SIS per cent of the frs
class rates, present rates being figur
ed at about so per cent of first-class
rates. According to the board esti
mates only small portion of thu

Rivals of Chester Bim

ON 5,OOO-M Mile Trip
To Cornwall, England

Chester BIN Gump, speeding
westward-alone-to visit his en-
enormously wealthy Uncle BIN in
Australia. has rivals for public at
tention In the Three Little Rich
ardses," who are speeding east
ward-also alone-from Missoula,
Montana, to Truro. Cornwall, Eng
land, to make their home with
their grandmother.
But there is a difference. AS the
readers of the comic sections have
noticed, Chester is spending money
like water on everything that pleases
him. On the other hand, when the
Three Little Richardses invoiced their
finances in Minneapolis recently as
they were passing that point of their
journey. they found they had $3.50
of the $50 pocket money with which
they were supplied upon leaving Mis-
soula.
With no MILLIONS back of them,
but something just as good-organ-
ization and co-operation--the Three
Little Richardses are having just as
happy a journey as the Australia
bound Chester.
William Richards, aged IL, does
the talking to the conductor. George,
Williams twin, is custodian of the
railway and steamship tickets Grace,
aged 10, has charge of the cash fund.
Thus the three share equally in the
heavy responsibility of an unescort-
ed pilgrimage of more than 5000
miles. The Three Little Richardses
sailed from Montreal on the Ansonia,
Cunard Liner.

their mourning is as genuine as our

Although Broadus, one of the last

rived there the other day with a
whistle and snort that made the
inhabitants ten-galIon hats rise

The explanation is this: While
many miles of prairie separate the

avenues as railroads, has gone to
Broadus by other routes.

about the little group approaching
us. In front was white horse
drawing a travels and on this was
laid bundle of robes and blankets,
in which was wrapped the corpse.
By the horses head walked a short,
stout figure, swathed in a blanket
that covered head and body. This
was reported to be sister of the
deceased.
Behind the travels came a half
a dozen or so of mounted squaws,
all young and rather pretty. These
were driving a small herd of ponies.

the Indian Paradise. The mourn
dian, who, until then, had been sta
toned close to the hills in the back
ground, rode to the platform and
shot the horse, but did not kill it,
leaving it to struggle in agony
where it fell. Another pony, much
younger than the first, was in
stantly dispatched. A pretty sor-
rel colt was then driven up, and
was shot with an arrow, by Sc
cond Indian, said to have been a
son of the dead squaw. This In
dian then put the white horse out
of its misery.
At the same instant with the
killing of the white horse, the blue
blanketed squaw who had taken
position at one side of the plat
form, raised the death wall. Ear
piercing and tremulous, its mes

Well, | am glad Of a chance to

She was probably the first woman
in Montana to admit she had such
belongings, and she was merely a
visitor.
Watching the squaws in their
progress, we saw the water reached
we'll above their knees. What
should we do? No bathing suits
were available, and those then worn
while modest, were not beautiful,
as is indicated by Henry Hollis de-
scription of the costume:
"The women in bathing wore
bloomers and a loose blouse with a
skirt to the knees, and generally a
poke bonnet to protect her COM
lplexion, and looked worse than the
devil" And | may add that even
this attire was regarded as shock
ing by those living in the Middle
West, who observed the proprieties.

power to assume this garb. How, "
we questioned, "can we ever cross
that river with two men in the
party?" The men gave the answer
with a delicacy of feeling we had
mot dreamed they possessed. They
preceded us and never once looked
back.
With signs of relief, we again
seated ourselves on the river bank
