Bristol has been fighting all "summer to keep her cottage from being. possessed by a family of raccoons. Not content with living under the cottage, Mr. Raccoon scratched the shingles, and tar paper off the back. She had a carpenter repair the dam- age. But when Mrs. Bristol came back from a trip to the Yukon, she found shingles and tar paper torn off again. Again it was re- paired, but she telephoned the game warden, Roy Bellinger, Clinton. He set a steel trap: On Saturday morning about three o'clock Mr. Raccoon got caught by one foot. But that didn't prevent him from watch- ing shingles, paper and sheeting off. He didn't gain entrance to the bathroom (perhaps he wanted a shower) but he chewed the edge of the carpet.

By that time she'd had enough of the nocturnal visitor, and worn out With. her forays to prevent him tearing a hole in the wall,°she telephoned George Little to shoot it. It was the largest 'coon he'd ever seen, and as Mrs. Bristol remarked, "It's fur and tail would have made a lovely Davey Croc- kett hat for some child." 'But now some of the rest of the 'coon family are at it again. The raccoons drove out the skunks (which at one time lived under the cottage).
