Mont. tlPIi -Robert Longbaugh. 72. died in a hotel fire and, if his tales are true, he took the secret of $300,-00- 0 in stolen loot with him. Longbaugh claimed to anyone who would lister that he was the son of "Sundance Kid." And he said he had maps of caches hidden by his faJier, Harry, and Robert Leroy Parker, alias "Butch Cassidy." Longbaugh had come here from Fresno, Calif., to go through local newspapers to research his father's outlaw doings. "Sundance" and ' Butch Cassidy" led lawmen on a merry chase, said Longbaugh. from the late 1870s until 1901 when they were said to have fled to South America. "Sundance" probably got his name from an stay in the cook county jail in Sundance, Wyo. Most historians believe the outlaw pair died in a shootout in San Vincente, Bolivia, in 1909, but not so said Longbaugh. He said they returned to the United States. And his father died Aug. 28, 1957, and was buried in Casper, Wyo. Longbaugh claimed to have been a pallbearer at the funeral of Parker July 13, 1937, in Spokane, Wash., where Parker was buried under the alias of "William K. Phillips." Longbaugh was writing a book about the pair when he died Monday and friends said his notes and his maps were destroyed in the fire.

"We're up to our eyeballs in problems," said Jeffers. "Right now we re using what tne govaerial ernment allows us to gunning, trapping in the dens and the rifle, kind of like Daniel Boone." The decision to appeal to the President was made at a meeting in Denver last week which was attended by commissioners of agriculture and members of livestock organizations. Some states reported losses of as high as "17 per cent of their lamb crops, said Jeffers. They blamed the increased losses on the presidential edict which curtailed the use of poison bait. The commissioners formed two committees. The first, composed of three governors yet to be named, will present the plea to Nixon, perhaps by February. The other committee will work toward a program for controlled use of toxicants within Environmental Protection Agency standards. The group is composed of members from livestock organizations and five ag- riculture commissioners Jeffers; Jack Hertzler, Wyoming; Joe Francis, Utah; Oscar Idaho and Mac McCor-kindal- Si DANA ?OSS iN lA':aG57HE 3IIES I Roof S t Wn 'HE t vA BLUES WIVE f OPEN VN 1 T, JJULDiUS collectors."
