that Foreman George Durham, 81,
died of a heart attack Sunday.
There had been rapidly-spreading
rumors that he was shot. The doc
tors and the undertaken, c. N.
Howard, said the report was un-
founded.
Durham was in charge of that
section of the ranch involved in
the Blanton mystery-the disap-
pearance last November 10 of Lu-
ther and John Blanton, father and
son, who went duck hunting on
King ranch and were never seen
again. The Blanton's friends, small
scale farmers who we're never
friendly with the ranchers, once
threatened to raid King ranch and
burn the buildings. Rangers pre-
vented an outbreak.
Durham collapsed while helping
cowboys brand cattle. His COM
panions thought he was overcome
by heat. They laid him in the
shade of a tree and when he failed
to revive, a rider went for a doc
tor. Durham died before the doctor
arrived.
