In September 1890, an angry man believed that Polly's friend Charlie had cheated him in a gambling game. He got a pistol and shot Charlie in the face, missing his eye but shattering his cheekbone. A doctor who came many miles from Grangeville could not help Charlie. Most people thought he would die, but not Polly. She nursed him back to health.
