Earl Durand watched the posse come up the canyon and cautiously encircle his hideout. After a time, two riflemen (Orville Linabary, 42; Arthur Argento, 46) started across a clearing directly toward him. They had their nerve with them.

Obedient to the master, the pins vanished into the pit, every last...
...been taken. For when thought is once converted into action, as has happened in this instance, it is likely that suggestions for definite measures in the future will be more readily met. Indeed, it is this aspect of the decision that is as cheering as any tangible achievement made toward alleviating this problem. For, excellent as these moves are, they cannot be regarded as final solutions. There yet remains to be solved the very thorny question of House selection...
