A surprising change in sentiment
in favor of Carpenter has developed
during the past few days.
The Gibbons Sentiment
Heretofore sentiment was over
whelminglt in Gibbons favor This
was due to a number Of reasons,
chief among them being the mem
DRY of his standing off Jack Demp-
sey for the full fifteen rounds; the
fact that he is a superb boxer; is
always trained to a lighting edge,
and because he was on display here
long before Carpenter arrived.

Clarke Expedition
continued from Feature Page.l

: lContinued from Feature Pagel
sin Historical Report in which the
Ordway Journal is given, says of
this incident, Whether the bear
was stunned or 'astounded' by such
treatment is perhaps a fair ques-
ton. Whichever it was, he was
felled to the ground, where he be
gan to cratch his head with his
feet after which operation he sat
down at the foot of the tree and
gave McNeal an anxious after
noon"
At one time some men were de-
tailed under Ordway to remove
baggage from a hill not far from
the present city of Great Falls, to
the upper camp across from White
Bear Island. 1t was an extremely
warm day, and in order to be more
comfortable, the men took off their
clothes. A sudden storm came on
which rained hailstones on their
naked bodies. They ran for camp
and their clothing, but before they
could reach it, one man was
knocked down three times, and
most were bruised and bleeding.
One of these hailstones was said to
seven inches in circumfer-
ence. That this was undoubtedly
no exaggeration, irst residents of
Great Falls can testify, having seen
hailstones as large or larger, fall
there.
These excerpts from the OrdwayI
Journal are given to awaken the in
terest of the public in this old his
torical document so recently
brought to light. Much Of it is
repetition of that of Lewis and
Clarke, but, as have already stat
ed, its main value lies in the fact
that there is no gap in the story,
and that it was written by one man.
