| CITY PARK BOARD | REGAINS POWER
+ TO SELECT ADS|
Sallee and - Middlesworth Authorized to Examine Job Applicants.
Mayor Sullivan announced today that he would allow the Park Board to make all appointments to Park Department posts. The announcement, in effect, restores the Board’s appointive power Yhieh was taken from it six years ago. Gal
The Board, which is bipartisan, originally had the authority to
make all Park Department appoint-|T
ments, but an amendment to the
State Park Law transferred that be
power to the Mayor.
The Park Board has authorized : =
Supt. A. C. Sallee and Recreation! Director H. W. Middlesworth to ex-
amine applicants for park and playground jobs and select those to be appointed. _ Criticized for alleged laxity of playpround employees last summer, the Board has announced its intentions of improving the: personnel of both playgrounds and swimming pools.
Competence Necessary
‘Mayor Sullivan commented: . “I am continuing a policy which as in effect during my previous | administration. | - proved themselves capable to Mr. Sallee and Mr. Middlesworth will receive appointments.” ~ In the past, it was explained, Board members could not question administration appointments, but the Board bore the brunt of public criticism. : Mr. Sallee said that he and Mr. Middlesworth will give rigid examinations to an anticipated 4000 applicants for the 400 summer playground and swimming pool jobs. “We are anxious to put on the best people we can get,” Mr. Sallee said. “The Park Department is the City's most extensive contact agency. In addition, our employees are in a prettion to do a great deal of good if they are efficient an capable. :
High Grade Persons Needed
“We have close contact with a large number of children during the summer months and it is essential to get high grade people for supervisors and inspectors.” Board members pointed out that one of the difficulties in getting superior personnel is the low salary provided for most * summer park posts. : The Park Department, with a _ total payroll of $40,000 a month in the summer, pays its matrons, in- “ structors and supervisors $50 a month. . “It| is difficult to get experienced people at those salaries,” Paul Rathert, Board member, commented, “but our budgets are cut so low thit we, in turn, have to keep employees’ salaries to a minimum.” :
Swimming pool lifeguards will be picked on a purely competitive basis. Lifeguards receive $70 to $75 a month.

--A. hundred possemen, on snowshoes and armed with elk and deer guns, converged today on a remote section of the Beartooth Mountain 40 miles northwest of here, the suspected citadel of savage Earl Durand, 26, fugitive killer who is known to mountainfolk as the “Tarzan of the Teton Range.” ‘They stalked him as he had stalked, with gun and bow and ar-
row, wild beast and game animals of the mountainous country where he has lived primitively for years. They were prepared to shoot him down like a beast. Durand, who killed Undersheriff D., M. Baker and Town Marshal Charles E. Lewis here Thursday night during a jail break, was armed with two long-range hunting rifles and a quantity of ammunition. A deadly marksman, he was determined not to be taken alive,
Minute Hunt Planned
A posse which left Cody at dawn yesterday, camped last night a few miles. from the bkeartooth range, in the extreme northern part of the state, and started out today fanwise into its foothills. A second posse, organized here, approached from the west. They expected to meet late today and, if previously unsuccessful, organize for a minute search of the rugged section. In the two posses were Sheriff's deputies, State Troopers, forest rangers and mountain sheep herders. Only ea few held any hope of finding Durand, who knows the mountains and their caves intimately from long living among them. All were convinced that he had either reached a predetermined hideout. in the Beartooth range or had fled the State into the Teton Mountains of Montana, site of many of his forages for game. Game Warden H. J. (Tex) Kennedy, of Park County,’ adjacent Yellowstone National Park, doubted the fugitive ever would be captured. He was known, he said, to have lived for months at a time in the mountains and to have subsisted on the raw meat of elk or eer. :
Convicted of Poaching
Durand had been convicted here early this week for poaching and sentenced to six months. Thursday he learned that charges of killing cattle had been filed against him. He overpowered his jailer and fled to his parents’ home two miles west, Surrounded by deputies, he shot down Baker and Lewis and escaped on foot. He carried the death weapon, seized in his jail escape, and a high-calibre hunting gun taken from a ranchman while in flight He is known as well for his marksmanship with gun or bow and arrow as for his eccentricity. ’ Often he has appeared at ranchhouses, and even on the streets here, bearded, shaggy-haired, with the
