 Several days ago We mentioned the ru- nor that Norman Mcleod had got his feet frozen, which is now proven to be serious fact. The unfortunate man came in yesterday from Turkey creek alone on horseback and stopped at Dan Hatz's hO- tel where an examination showed tha: the toes on the right foot will have to be taken of and those on the left are badly frozen.
 W. P. Tanner, of Walnut Grove, had the misfortune a few days ago to have his left hand crushed in a corn sheller, amputation becoming necessary, the op- eration was performed at the Sisters Hospital, Friday afternoon, by Dr. Aims worth, assisted by Dr. O. Lincoln. The little finger was taken of half way from the wrist to tine knuckle joint. Tanner was placed under the influence of ether during the operation. Heis now partially crippled in each hand, having previously lost the middle finger on hIs right hand.
 D. R. Poland, one of the earliest set tiers in Yavapai, died at his ranche, east of the Agua Fria, last evening. As We noticed in yesterday evenings issue, a messenger came to town after medical assistance and Dr. Ainsworth promptly responded, but when he arrived, the sick man was dying, and nothing could be done except to ease his journey to the grave. The cause of his death was pneumonia, brought on by cold, which he received in walking from Lynx Creek to Marr's ranche, during a heavy strOm, in returning from his last visit to town. Nr. Poland was long engaged in mining in this country, and few years ago made a sale of his property in Big Bug, when he visited California, married, re- turned to this country and engaged in the cattle business. He was a typicai pioneer, warm hearted, gene rous and ge- nial. His old time pards will drop tear to his memory he has crossed the dividing hne between mortality and im- mortality for a prospect amidst the green fields and evergreen graves of the other shore. Let us hope that he may strike a celestial bonanza that shall never pe- ter out. D. F. Poland leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss. The body will be brought to town for interment.
