Ca.ptu.re Hasn't Discouraged Him.
A general air of well-beii station today as Ray Trosky Trosky,    captured     near here late Saturday  after escaping July   16   from jap ! at Fort St. .lames, vows that he will not be kept in jail.
But police aren't too worried about the 27-year-old leading them on another nine-day chase through 150 miles (if hush country as the sturdy cell door is tightly locked.
The  atmosphere  at t h e police station is. that of one huge, collective sigh of relief as Mounties get back to a regular routine. Many had been out  in bush north ol here   for   days   at   a   time; catching a hi!'? to eal  now and then at roadside eateries   and   sleeping   for   only minutes at a time, if at all. Trosky, whose only companions during his flight through   the   forest   were mosquitoes,     bl?ck     flies and other wildlife, had a rougher time than RCMP officers, but he's still not ready  to call  the  matter off.

Nine days of being hunted across more than 150 miles of bush country came to an end for 27-year-old Ray Trosky on the outskirts of Prince George Saturday night when police dog Brude tracked him to where he was laying down in deep underbrush and police following the dog overpowered  their quarry.
A desperate fear that he was going to he shot kept Trosky on the run from, police. "Don't kill me. Please don't shoot me," he cried repeatedly when he was overpowered in the bush only a couple of hundred yards from homes in the VI-A area but fought the four police who had him pinned to the ground until they were finally able to truss him up with the dog lead.
Every time one of the four relaxed a grip to try and tie him he started fighting again. A fifth officer arrived only a couple of minutes after he was seized and it required the efforts of all five to subdue him. Even then it was necessary to remove his boots so nobody would be injured  by his kicking.
[n  on  the capture was Const. Ted  Mason  who

talked with Trosky for nearly two hours last Thursday morning trying to get him to give himself up. On that occasion. Mason was able to wrest a rifle away from him but he grabbed another, which he discarded a couple of days later, and jumped out a window  and  again  disappeared  into  the  bush.
When Trosky found Mason was among his raptors he addressed his appeals to him, crying "You're my friend, Mason, don't let them shoot me."
He was carried out of the bush about 50 feet to where the police patrol was waiting. Police had another battle on their hands when they tried to remove him from the van at the police station. It took five men to carry him into a cell.
Trosky seemed to be very emotionally disturbed with an unreasonable fear that he was going to be shot,  and  a  doctor  was  called   to  give  him   a  sedative after he was placed in a cell. OUT OF BUSH
The search for Trosky swung to South Fort George late Saturday afternoon when he came out of the brush went through the yard of Donald Sewell and crossed Vine Street. Mrs. Sewell notified police ami a cordon was thrown about   the district.

S^t- J*. W. Hov.arth was stationed at a lookout point with the police patrol barely 100 yards from where Trosky was located. He and a Citizen newsman heard shouts of the captors and arrived on tlic seme within :� couple of minutes of the arrest.

Hogs had a difficult time following sceni because of the number of people wandering through the brush. Private citizens w;tc all fortunate they did not come across the hunted man. who was in no mood to be taken single-banded.
Only about 20 nTi.nutes before the capture', three youngsters from the DVA subdivision were playing along the trail which j,ed pa-M the fleeing man's hiding place. The-- passed within f>() feel of the fugitive when they were warned to get out of the woods and go home.
