The native was somewhat badly frozen on tho wriGts but not so seriously as to need medical treatment. In any event ,Dr. Neuman is at Mary's Igloo and if he needs attention there he can get it. The weather was fierce on the trip to Nome and it blew most of the way. Rice was placed under the care of Dr. Mustard who stated after care full examination that both hands none of his toes, but that portion of his fingers on one hand or the other may have to be removed
 Yesterday the Solomon Derby, but the shadow of it's former great ness, was run with but three en tries. Nevertheless these three ran as good a race as had ever been pulled off. The start was made at ten o'clock yesterday morning with Leonard Seppala, Fred Aver and Fay Delzene following in that order at ten minutes interval. Aver made the best time to Solomon and kept the lead throughout winning hanc- somely in full time of hours, 04 mins. and. 25 secs. Leonard Sep pala was good second about 20 mins. behind Aver with full time oi 6:24:14 And Fay Delzene third with full time of 6;49:13. Delzene was second in time during one DOT tion of the race buJ on the home stretch Seppala's dogs spurted and got seconi. There was no tre:l for six miles this side of Safety and the snow blowing and drifting all the time. It was therefore by no means an ideal day Seppala's time Nome to Solomon was 3:1S, and from Solo mon to Nome 3:06:14. Ayers time from Nome to Solomon was 2:52.25 and from Solomon to Nome 3:12. Thus Seppala picked up almost six minutes on the home stretch The record time for this Derby is AZ 24 run under ideal conditions of trail and weather.
 The first prize was one hundred and fifty dollars, the Seconu $pl.oo and the third $27.5O, so that all were in the money. The private book however accepted no place bets. The cold weather was not calculated to make the trip pleas urable. It was twenty below.
