(Copyright, 1923, by United Press) SHELBY, Mont., June 16. —The citi* zens of Shelby and Great Falls dug down in their pockets Friday and, according to announcement today, found SIOO,OOO with which to make the sec* ond payment on the guarantee to Jack Dempsey and save the DempseyGibbons heavyweight championship fight from being abandoned for lack of funds.

Late Tickets Blamed. Loy J. Molumby. one of the promoters. made the following statement to the United Press: "Our tickets came so late that we did nor have time to get them out and the money back. Therefore It waa necessary for us to make payment without using money from the ticket sale. Kearns gave us until Saturday night and we practically have raised in Great Falls and Shelby all of the money iflie. and it will be paid." Collins. Mayor Johnson of Shelby and the other backers of the enterprise blamed their embarrassment on circulation of stories—which they termed unjustified—to the effect that there was no money in sight and that the whole project was about to collapse. Maybe It’s Still Standing "\Ve have more than $200,000 standing out in various big city banks for tickets and we are counting on the delivery of that money to pay the instalment,” Collins said. "When the stories were circulated that the promoters were broke the hanks refused to turn over the money. "Our available cash was almost depleted when we paid the contractor ! $72,000 for the erection of the arena and we had to fall back on Shelby and j Great Falls to help us out of the i
