Sheriff Frank Blackburn and force of volunteers rushed into the lair to 1 find Durand had vanished. During the advance of divided posse forces, the cross firing caused officers to believe Durand was answering their fire. Sheriff Blackburn declared Durand' 'must have scaled during last night the steep ridga wall be hind!, his fortress. Under cover of darkness he probably reached the plnacle formations at the ridge summit.

Both were shot through the stom ach. Linabary had fallen with his shoulders across Argento's legs. . Sheriff Blackburn said Durand had taken Linabary's shoes off his feet, picked up Linabary's 30-30 rifle and snatched the laces from Argento's boots. The crafty Durand, slinking in the dark like the mountain wild cats he has , tracked, evidently crawled down to the 'uodles last night before scaling the ridge wall to elude the besieging force he had challenged would never take him alive. Howitzer Company Brings Heavy Guns Durand's escape was discovered as a detachment of the howitzer company of the 163rd infantry. Montana national guard, - neared the siege scene from Livingston, Mont., with a .337 millimeter howitzer and a three-inch trench mortar. Having failed to get their man with the traditional weapons of the west rifles and six-shooters the mountain posse turned to modern military weapons for an assault its leaders ' had believed would bring out Durand, dead or alive. But the heavy wartime weapons now were useless, Sheriff Black burn admitted, unless the cunning slayer was holed up quickly again. I Durand broke out of the Cody Jail last Thursday, while .serving a term for game poaching. He shot and killed two peace officers that night.

March 23.-p) -One of the most paradoxical sit uations in recent years arose to day when Marriner Eccles, a fore most advocate of government spending, virtually urged congress to proceed at once to balance the budget. The chairman of the federal re serve board said there was strong sentiment in the country for such a program, and. that a majority of congress , appeared to "favor it. While he expressed belief it would be "disastrous,", he took the posi tion that the majority should rule. To thfs he added a statement that substantial reductions in gov ernment spending could come only through cutting appropriations for relief, for CCC camps, public works, veterans compensation, farm benefit payments and nation al defense, and that for such cuts congress "should assume full re sponsibility."
