Memmler 1943 journal June 6, Santiago Springs, 2700 ft., 8 mi. E + 1/2 S Emmles, SLO Co, Calif. Setting in front of her hole high up in the road cut. We were carrying pistol. Emma's was a 38, and mine a 22. Both were loaded with shot. We decided that inorder to kill the squirrel we would both need to fire. So we fired our guns at once and killed the titluse. We missed the skull but hit her so as to cause lung and intestinal hemorrhages. She died almost instantly. I shot a Mta while setting my traps also. We left camp about 1 o'clock today for home. We returned home by going to McKittrick and then on highway number 33 to Tracy, number 50 to Dublin, number 20 to Walnut Creek and from there to Berkeley. We stopped in McKittrich for a meal and again in Coalinga for refreshments and in Los Banos for Supper. At each stop I fed the baby pocket mice some Khir. We reached Berkeley at about 11:20 P.M.
