Shelby to host Dempsey Gibbons title bout on July 4
The Shelby push to stage the Dempsey Gibbons fight drew heavy funding from local Legion leaders led by Lou Molumby and Mike Collins. A $100,000 earnest fund was deposited in Great Falls, with publicity flights and AP reports boosting Shelby nationwide. The plan drew railroad and hotel logistics for 76,000 to 100,000 visitors, with Great Northern railroads reserving track space and side trackage requested from Winnipeg for special trains to Shelby.
