LOST OVERSIGHT IN THE Snow
FROZEN FEET.-We Were asked to do so.
ami called mt the Virginia and Truckee
Depot, day before yesterday. to visit a
mn who was lying npon the floor of
tn. passenger room, suffering patiently
bu: terribly, his; feet being frozen and
presenting a disgusting appearance. He
was brought in on the morning train,
and was left to hug the stove and writhe
on the bare floor without relief until
well-nigh noon, when, through the kind
fundamentally of somebody, doctor
was called, who bandaged the poor
mans feet. He could not be received
by our county and was taken away.
DIR. Waters. who attended the
patient, says his feet may be
saved to him by the exercise Of great
care-which his reshipment, in all prob
ability deprives him of. The prospect
is that this vigorous young man will be-
come miserable cripple, with both feet
off! We questioned him before they
had sent him back, and learned that his
name is Morris Policy. He came from
Eureka to Winnemucca in search of en-
ployment, wishing rather to be en-
gagged Ill his trade of butcher than
to continue at the smelling furnaces.
He left the town Saturday night and
went through snow knee-deep to find n
couple Of his countrymen who live on a
cattle ranch some SIX or seven miles Oft.
After wandering about until late at night
he thought he had found the house that
he was looking for, but when he came
quite near found that what he had taken
for a house was only pile of dead trees.
He had become snow blind. He gave
up his search then, and made his way
back to he railroad reaching Chinese
sector house about daylight. He had
been moving about until then, and was
not aware that his feet were frozen. He
discovered his sad plight only when he
attempted to pull off his boots which
stuck to his feet and had to he cut off.
They tagged the next train for him and
lie was taken Oh board He says he was
told that there was no doctor at Winnie
mucca and the conductor advised him
to 90 on to Carson-which he did.
When we saw him, his feet were in Il
frightful condition, being swollen ont of
all shape and of greenish blue color
from little below the instep downwards
including the toes. The skin was shriv-
eled and had burst in several places to
allow horrid matter to Ooze out and
drip to the tioOr-such stuff as comes
from squeezing a rotten-rlpe pear.
PREPARATIONS for the Citizens ball
have been made and nothing is left un-
done within the power of an experienced
and energetic committee, having but
short notice, that will tend to promote
universal enjoyment and harmony.
Money in abundance has been collected
to defray all expenses. Carriages may
be ordered and had for any hour. Leave
your orders at the Ormsby House, st.
Charles, Magnolia Saloon. or at Fox's
store. The committee want this dis
tinctly understood, however, that any
party failing to take carriage at the
hour for which it was ordered Will lose
his place and his name will be put at the
bottom of the list Let this be distinctly
understood. Name your hour and call
then, or go to the g bottom of the file"
The hall has been beautifully decorated
and the floor put in excellent trim. Mart
Gaige has this department in charge
than whom there is no better-and he
has done his best. The programmes are
all ready-fxed off with all the dances,
and music with names to kill, and place
left to have your name written and to
write yonr partners. Supper tickets
with numbers and no rush.
4 MOTION was made by Lockwood in
the Senate, day before yesterday, to sus-
pend the rules and allow smoking. The
mover urged that time would be saved
and that the order of the Senate and
dispatch of business would be promoted
thereby; inasmuch as members now
withdrew to the Sergeant-at-Arms'r room
and smoked, lost the run of business,
and sometimes necessited call of the
Senate. Mr.. Clapp, from the Commit
tee on Public Morals. suggested that
gentlemen correct their bad habits rather
than ask to have parliamentary laws
Overruled for the sake of their indul-
gence Lockwood affirmed that men,
bers of Parliament sat with their hats
on while in session and smoked ut will;
and that if such IN august body could
SO indulge without detraction from their
dignity, why not 80 in q Legislature of
Sage Brushers Crawford, Speaker
pro tenn, reminded the gentleman that
the Senate of Nevada is run according to
American and not English rules. The
Senate refused to indulge its members.
We call attention to an advertisement,
under "new to-day" headed ''chal-
lenge''. Mr.. Carroll it will be seen
throws down the glove to Mr.. Burns,
teacher of the dance in Carson. They
are both masters of the terpsichorean art,
and if they should see 1T to treat the
public to an exhibition in their elegant
way, the public would no doubt be en-
tertained.
JOHN l CHM was sad last night and
refused to be comforted because the big
amethyst was gone from his ring pre-
scented to him by the D. o. Bs. and
worth $35. If you would have graft
