Cloned colt finds a home after range fire rescue
In southwestern Montana near Dillon a wild mare gave birth as a range fire trapped a band. The newborn colt was abandoned until Wallace Elliot of the Dillon BLM nursed it. Wild Horse Annie Velma Johnston helped place the colt, six names drawn for its new owner Henry Gonzales, a Crow Agency PHS painter.
