It was interesting to watch him cut and tie arteries and saw the bones , and I think I stood it better than any of them . When the operation was over , we gave the fellow the best bed the ranch afforded and fixed him up comfortable . The doctor took the bloody stump and wrapped it up in an old newspaper , saying he would take it home with him . `` After supper the surgeon took a sleep , saying we would start back to town by two o'clock , so as to be there by daylight . He gave instructions to call him in case Bill awoke , but he hoped the boy would take a good sleep . As I had left my horse in town , I was expected to go back with him . Shortly after midnight the fellow awoke , so we aroused the doctor , who reported him doing well .
