When walking along the road south of our camp, Emma Benson and I saw a squirrel sitting in front of her hole high on the road cut. We were armed with a 22 shot pistol and a 38 pistol. We fired on he simultaneous[ly] and killed her instantly. The road cut being so high (about as wide as the road itself) I had to go quite a distance get up to find a place to retrieve the animal.
