 His cabin and the scene of his hunting and trapping had been sought for a long time by the Alaska Game Commission, and it remained for airplane to turn the trick
 Warden sam White spotted" Stromberger from the little two scatter plane the popular officer flies and he returned to town to fly out with Deputy Warden Wayne House.
