Sun. July. 10.- Put out 22 mouse traps, 3 steel traps, and 7 rat traps today, N.W. of here on the flat. The mouse traps are mostly set along a marshy little creek, bordering the fields; three in an old hay sheet, and two in the cottonwoods. Two steel traps along a nondescript runway on the banks of the slough, and one along side a-mouse trap in the barn. The seven rat traps are set in the river belt of cottonwoods in hope of flying squirrels, did a little fishing and caught three huge fish, two Molly Carriers and my 22 inch Rainbow + Joams came up today. Good weather.
Fishing:
Mon. July. 11.- My trap line yielded four meowtus and one peromyscus along the marshy creek; one more also. Caught in a Lepus, very large, in my steel trap along the slough. A weasel ate up a young Peromyscan in my barn trap. Tried fishing and thanks to my old rotten line lost my only two spoons. Water is rising, and it is very cloudy.
