DISPATCHES -- from San Francisco, Nov. 17 --
From Sutter Creek, Nov. 17 -- A young man named Richard JACKSON, bucket lander at the Amador mine, was accidentally knocked into the shaft by a bucket yesterday. Search was instantly commenced for his body. One leg at a time was first found, then his body from the lower ribs down, then his 2 arms, next the rest of his body, with the head all gone from the lower lip up. He is the worst mangled man ever killed in the mines here. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and will be buried by them in their cemetery today.
