was feeling better so went to
look at traps that I had setting
but got nothing some traps were
throwed Van Rozaem went with me
to shoot quail I had seen on 17th
I shot one then on coming down thru
brush I was walking down a cow
path and a fox no 12 562 jumped
out in it in front of me about 20
yds from me I had only no 10 shot
so I banged away but thought
I never got it it ran on down path
about 30 yds and then fell dead
no 12 563 was caught on east mt,
slope in thick ferns and grass in trap.
no 12 564 was captured alive by
natives and was brought to me that
way this being a female the only one
we have from up here so far was
glad to get it.
