No 10 ♂, no 11 ♀. These two
mice were captured after
large tumbleweeds had been
uprooted. During the past
winter on a two acre patch
of ground where the tumble
weeds were large these mice
occupied & built nests under
the thistle. As the thistle
was short our air-dale dog
captured and ate over 50 (count)
within 30 minutes. The mice
were thick & running every-
where. We killed & burned many.
