GENERAL ACCOUNT
Nov. 3 4 mi. SE Porterville, 550 ft., Tulare Co.,
California.
This morning Dr. Hall received
word from Mr. Mc.Caulley, Deputy of wardens
Calif. Fish and Game, that a yearling
Mountain Sheep was in the possession of
Mr. Arnold the game warden of Bakersfield.
I was instructed to obtain this
animal as a speciman for the MVZ.
Left Oakland at 12:25PM and arrived
in Porterville at 9:00PM.
Nov. 4 This afternoon about 1:00 Game
Warden Ray Bullare (918 E Mill Street,
Porterville, Calif.) and I drove to
Bakersfield and procured the Mountain
Sheep from Lester Arnold the game warden
of that district. (3014 San Emidio,
Bakersfield, Calif., Phone 5034). The
animal had been skinned and quartered.
The feet had been sawed off and given
to one of the individuals of Bakersfield
who desired to make a hat rack out of
them. Luckily we were able to obtain
them although they were decomposing and
fly blown.
