Rest 2 traps in mus runways. Packed specimens in A.M. & went in to town about noon. On way saw That mole trap was sprung. Took mole out, which was still alive and put it in the back of the truck. On return from town put the mole in a box of dirt where it was kept under observation until late in the afternoon. Only traps out tonight = 4 mole traps.
