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.
