Grizzlie Beared, Another Montana Story

This story explains a frontier law enforcement technique, grizzly bearing, for ridding a Yellowstone campsite of some troublesome motorcyclists, using natural pest protectorant to encourage immediate departure. It worked. The bikers left the country, but the camp had be shut down for two weeks until warring grizzlies settled down.
On my way home from the Swearing In I thought of this incident and thought your readers may get a chuckle out of it. So I decided to put it on paper. I am telling this story only because Sgt. Preston (some names are changed to protect the not so innocent) is retired, and I believe the statute of limitations have run out, ADAIR COUNTY AUTHOR BILL TROUTWINE writes as a prologue to this story, rated Fanciful - somewhere north of fact and south of fiction - to make it a mighty good story to curl up with a an iPad and read on bleak winter day.

By Bill Troutwine

It was early summer of 1994 and I was working as a resident Deputy in Big Sky. Sgt. Preston, and I both worked the Gallatin Canyon, a stretch of land that reached from West Yellowstone to Gallatin Gateway. Sgt Preston lived in West Yellowstone and I lived near Gallatin Gateway. It is approximately 100 miles between the two towns. My Sergeant worked the day shifts, and I worked the night shifts. Our shifts overlapped by two hours. When I started my shift I would head to the Cinnamon Lodge to meet with Sgt Preston. The Cinnamon Lodge was approximately half way between our residents, so it was a natural meeting point for us. We would meet there and drink coffee and pass on information to each other.

JIM: A note from a transcriber of ancient penmanship

From JIM
Having spent innumerable hours of my (previous) life deciphering "that purty old handwritin'" on various legal and personal documents, transcribing the note to Miss Humble was a piece of cake. One of the toughest ones I ever did was a (mercifully) brief letter written in the 1880s to my remote ancestor Joseph Roy of Pulaski Co.; another was a postcard note penned by Eld. Z.T. Williams while on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1900.

Query: Jury Duty Dress Code in Adair County, KY

Charles Marshburn writes.
Wondering what one might be expected to wear for jury duty (man or woman) in Adair County? - Charles Marshburn
Answer: In the "The three hardest words for a man to say," as Red Green would say, "'I don't know.'" I don't know if we even cover this in Johnny Vaughn's Adair Assimilation Academy. Personally, we always lean toward dress-up for such an occasion. Maybe someone will have some words of wisdom on this subject. Maybe a recent foreperson can say. - EW
