MODERN MAZEPPA.
A Young Englishmsn Stripped, Tied 10
Wild Broncho and Started Over
the Plains.
seNen Days CncOusciou. aud wIthouI

OMAHA, NFB., July l3.-M Boussaud, a
wealthy cattle owner, whose herds range
in the unorganized territory OF Northwest
ern Nebraska, has Just returned from tho
annual "rouud up" i'm that region, and re-.
lates tale Of the plains that Is in some re.
spects counterpart the orthodox MnEep.
pa When Boussaud reached his ranch.
about the middle Of June, he found his
cowboys nursing n young man whom they
had rescued from the back OF a broncho.
when discovered the modern Mazeppa was
lashed to the horse, entirely naked and
unconscious. The animal was about hro.Sc
down, as II from long running. and was
easily lassoed by the COWBOYS, who cut the
thongs and released the strange caphye.
This happened about two weeks before
BouSSand's arrival, and during all that
ume tha stranger had ipm i'm a stupor. A
lew days before Bug,Suud loft on
his return journey 10 Omaha.
having little medical knowl'
edge, he succeeded I'm restoring the
patient TO consciousness, and his recovery
was rapid. When able to talk ho said his
name was Henry Burbank. lie was an Eng
llShman, and tliirty.four years OF age.
About three years ago, az Falmouth, Eng.
Land, he formed partnership with "a
friend named Ihos. Wilson, some years his
senior, and with him came u America to
embark in the cattle business They cast
about Tor awhile, ana finally settled
IN Northwestern Nebraska, where the
range was unlimited aud herdcrs few
and far apart. They built n comfortable
ranch 10y a little stream, whore Wilson'S
WIFE rcigncd as housekeeper, attended by
two or three female domestics. Burbank
being dashtng young gallant the jealousy
OF llson was soon aroused. One day I'm
May cowboy, who had grievance against
Burbank, surprised Burbank paying too
much attention TO the woman, aud reported
the matter 10 the husband. That night
burbank was captured while asleep i'm bed
by wilson ana three Of his men and bound
before he had "A chance TO make any re-
sistance. Wilson had him stripped of every
blt OF clothing and bound TO the back Of a
Wild hroncno, which was started Off bg n
vigorous lashing before morning. Burbank
became unconscious, and was, therefore,
unable 70 tell anything about his terrible
trip. lie thinks that the outrage was
committed on the night OF May -, and he
was reGcuod on the morning of June 3,
which would make seven days that he had
neen travelling about the plains on the
horses back, without food or drink, and
exposed TO tho sun end wind. Wilson'S
ranch Is about two hundred miles from the
spot where Burbank was found, but 1t IS
hardly possible that the broncho took a
direct course, and therefore must have GOV.
cred many more milesin his wild journey.
