the background. Spent most of afternoon in cave, but set 19 traps before supper. It rained fitfully during first half of afternoon, but did not amount to much.

Hot, bright forenoon, raining in mts. before noon. Put up 3 deer mice skins, one squirrel and 1 chipmunk in forenoon, then set traps and put out poison on the mesa. In afternoon I skinned a squirrel and a chipmunk brought in by the Indians, then took a cool refreshing bath in the creek. It threatened rain during afternoon and did rain in the mountains. At 6:45 p.m. a hard thunder shower came down the gulch, lasting for over an hour, with some hail.

Nearly clear this morning and the high water in the creek has nearly subsided.
