Trowbridge, Parks
Back Deers
, PAGE — Mr. and Mrs. Dick
Trowbridge were two deer hunt
ers from this section of the coun
try who brought back a deer
apiece in the exercise of their
permits.
The first day was fruitless ex
cept for the extreme weariness
incurred in the 10- to 12-mile
tramp without even the sight of
a track, let alone a target deer.
They were accompanied by
* Mrs. Trowbridge’s uncle, Earl
<“Scoop”) Parks. The party was
able to bag two deer the second
o day, almost identical animals.
Parks’ kill weighed 99 pounds
and the Trowbridges’ beat it by
„ four pounds.
The third day the Trowbridges
brought down a five-point buck,
a really fine specimen, weighing
in at 175% pounds and listed as
a ZVz- to \Vz-year-old deer. The
smaller ones were adjudged to be
in the 1%-year-old class.
The first two were killed out on
the Big Eagle, at a point about 10
miles north and six west of O’
Neill and the big one was a prod
uct of the Brush creek region in
the vicinity of Phoenix.
Brush creek is one of the lesser
tributaries of the upper Niobrara
river.

‘Tear Gas’ Drives
Page Famliy Out
By MRS. N. D. ICKES, SR..
The Frontier Feature Writer
PAGE — Many people leave
home for various and sundry rea
sons. Families leave home, less
often, and for fewer reasons.
The Dick Trowbridge family
left home recently and in,
complete agreement that it was
the only thing to do, under the
circumstances. They left because
an intruder, coming suddenly and
unexpectedly, challenged their
inclination to co-habitate. Or
rather, they were given little
choice, under stress of a highly
incensed “special sense” that was
over-stimulated.
The family took refuge with
Mr. Trowbridge’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer Trowbridge.
Each day as he returned to do
the barn chores, Dick checked for
signs of abandonment. The im
possible situation had all the ear
marks of becoming a permanent
thing and it began to look like
Dick’s family had moved in with
his parents for the winter.
As is the case in all arguments,
there were two sides in this case
and it was apparent that the in
vader had the best of the argu
ment. Even though carried on in
silence on the part of the intrud
er, it was never-the-less effective.
Advice, like always, was plen
tiful—and free.
Finally, in desperation and as a
first and last resort, a trap (ap
proved) was set — a steel
one, cleverly disguised and cov
ered to minimize the suspicions
of the hunted one.
“Squatter’s rights” and posses
sion counting nine points in law.
all things added up in favor of
the intruder.
Tear gas, an effective weapon
I often used to oust an ambushed
fugitive, in this case was in the
hands of the opposition.
The neighbors have it that the
eviction was accomplished with
the loss of only one life (that of
the intruder) and “that” death
was brought about without raising
a neighborhood “stink.”
Yep, you guessed it. The in
truder for whom the Trowbridge
gave up their residence was a
mserable, little, despicable mem
ber of the Cacomistle family
known as a civet cat.
