Durand ends bank siege with self-inflicted death in Powell
Earl Durand, the renegade known as Tarzan of the Rockies, killed four pursuers during a nine day flight and tried to rob a Powell bank. A 17 year old boy fired the shot that felled him. Durand then killed himself with his own pistol as he crawled back into the bank. Powell residents mourn the outlaw once seen as a mountain loner who lived off the wild.
