conscious. The animal wss about broken
down, as il from long running, and was
easily lGfsoed by the cowboys, who cut the
thongs and released the strange captive.
This happened about two weeks before
Bouesaud's arrival, and during all that
time the stranger had lain in stupor.
A few days before BouSsaud left on his
return journey to Omaha, having a little
medical knowledge, he succeeded in re.
storing the patient 10 consciousness, and
his recovery was rapid. When able to talk
he said bis name was Henry Burbank. He
was an Fnglishman, and 81 years Of age.
About three yes,a ago, at Falmouth, Eng
land, he formed partnership With friend
named Thomss Wiison, some years his
senior, and with him came 10 America to
embark in the cattle business. They cast
about for awhile, and finally settled in
Northwestern Nebraska, where the range
was unlimited and herders few AID lar
apart. They built comfortable ranch. hy

Burbank became unconscious, and VIZ,
therefore, unable 10 tell anything about his
terrible trip. He thinks that the outrage
MAS committed on the night Of May IL,
and he was rescued on the morning Of
June 8, which would make seven days he
had been travelling about the plains on the
hoEses back, without food CT drink, and
exposed to the Sun wind. Wilson's ranch
is about two hundred mill ] from the spot
where Burbank VISA found, but 1t is ha IDLY
possible that the broncho took direct
course, and therefore must have covered
many more mica in his wild journey.
