Famous Trapper Tells Of Dam Build
Ing In Beaver Country

George Hennigar, famous trapper
and guide in the Eustis section tells
the following peculiar incident on
beaver lore.
1t seems that once upon a time
there were two beavers who seemed
to be leaders of their tribe, regular
old veterans. One OF them built his
dam at a we'll adapted place on a
brook while his competitor built ii
short distance below him and each
plucky construction expert worked
untiringly until his master stroke was
completed. Then came new and
unforeseen difficulty.
The upper dam had been built es-
pecially strong. Each crevice had
been plugged sufficiently we'll to rem
der it practically water tight, far too
much so for the welfare of the down
stream beaver who decided to confer
with the busy body at the upstream
site, and to demand that he let some
water down to him 1t was apparent
from the gutterals and squeals of the
inquring one that he did not succeed
in arriving at the desired terms on
this visit but with added courage he
again attempted another interview
few days later. This time he
asked for more water for his scanty
pond but again he was refused.
After talking in beaver language for
a while a scrap was in order. 1t
seems that the visitor turned and
struck at the disgruntled host while
the latter backed up to the unfortu
nate down streamer and with his
tail hit him several hard blows. De-
feated beyond all question he went
away from the scene of conflict never
to return again.
