The Plumas National of the 10Th says
Our Jamison correspondent, under date of
| September 10Th, gives US the following par.
| ticulars of a fearful accident which hap
pened at Mount Etwell. near the Four Hills
mine, on SATURDAY., the 9th instant, a man
| by the name of William II. Morrow being
the victim. Messrs. Hill, Dawson Phipps
and Cooper have had two men at work at
Mount Etwell, prospecting quartz ledge.
Saturday morning Morrow took his lunch
pail and went some distance from the cabin
to work on ditch. Night came on and
Morrow did not make his appearance. Next
morning the man who was stopping with
him went in search of him. but not being
able to find any trace of his whereabouts,
came down to townsville on Sunday even
ing and told his story. On Monday a
party started to search for the missing
man, and found his body, or what
was left of it, about III o'clock A. NJ.
While going along the trail to his work a
burning tree had fallen on him. and he must
have died the most eycruciating death that
could have overtaken him. The tree caught
his legs, and not being able to extricate
himself he burned to death, his legs being
burned off near the knees. The man who
was living with him, il his search Sunday
morning, passed within few feet of the
body, but it was so badly burned and
charred that he did not notice it, and the
parties who found it perhaps would not
have done so but for seeing his lunch pail.
Several letters to deceased were found from
his mother and sister, who live in Oakland,
and also from brother who lives at
Smiths Flat, near Placerville. Morrow
was a native of Georgia, aged about %
years, aud formerly worked in Indian val.
ley. He was buried near the scene of the
accident, it being impossible to bring the
| body to louisville
