LITTLE FALLS, June 5, — [Special.] — Isaac Seeber of Dauube, who has been suffering from blood poisoning for several weeks, died Saturday at 12:50 P. M. Last March he injured his right hand in the cog of a drag saw, and for a time he seemed to get along well, supposing the injury was only a trifling matter. He gradually grew worse, however, and Dr. Ingham two weeks ago amputated the hand above the wrist. It was thought that the operation would save his life, but his case grew worse with the warm weather. Mr. Seeber had served several terms in the board of supervisors and was a democrat. He was a mason, member of Rocklin council, royal arcanum, and a granger. He leaves a wife and two daughters.
