Allison and T. H. Silsbyat. of this city, after a frightful experience tn which the pair nearly died of thirst. Neither of the men was used to traveling, and took few of the precautions customary with old prospectors. When found Pulser had been without water throe days. He had dug a well six feet deep for water, but without success, ahd,crazed with delirium, he had lain down to die. His companion, whose strength failed some miles back, had crawled under a mosquito bush and recovered his strength sufficient so that he had next day gone back over the trail to a brackish pool, where he had remained In reach of water. The men are now at Allison’s ranch, on the border of the desert, where they are fast recovering.
