Lorraine Murdock tries to help a muskrat wandering around downtown Fort St. James on Tuesday, May 3. The muskrat seemed to looking for a way out of the concrete and asphalt when Murdock saw him and began to herd him towards the water. He wasn’t very happy to be caught, however, and tried valiantly to reach around and bite the offending hand, and did escape again. With the help of some kind mechanics and some passing motorists, the muskrat was captured to be taken to the nearest river and released.
