Amador Dispatch, Vol. 11, No. 50, August 27, 1870:

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT. -- A workman named LARRY GANNON was instantly
killed in the Eureka Mine, at Sutter Creek, last Tuesday, by falling
from a bucket down the shaft, a distance of over forty feet. Many of his
bones were broken and he was otherwise horribly bruised and mangled by
falling against the rocks and timbers in the shaft. Mr. G. was known as
an honest, hard-working man. He formerly lived in Pottsvill, Pa.
_______________

J. A. EAGON. -- We see that our friend JOHN A. EAGON has been
nominated for Supervisor by the democrats of the second district. He
will make a good Supervisor if elected, and there is but little room to
doubt his election over any man that may be put in the field by the
republicans.
_______________

THE "SHAMROCK." -- We are not an advocate of intemperance, but we
would advise those who do drink to always use the best they can find,
and if you want to know where a good article can be had, just read the
advertisement of the "Shamrock" saloon in another column, kept by Mr.
HUGH MEEHAN.
______________

NEW DRUG STORE. -- Mr. ANTONIO ARATA, formerly proprietor of the
Miner's Drug Store in this place, is engaged in fitting up the old brick

NEW BELL. -- The Catholic church in this place has been provided with
a new bell, which will hereafter add its musical notes to the general
warning to sinners to cease their evil ways.
______________

THOS. BOYCE. -- We are pleased to see that Mr. THOS. BOYCE, the well
known and popular advertising agent of San Francisco, has bee nominated
by the democrats of that city for Supervisor of the 9th Ward. Mr. B. is
a man of good business qualifications, and his honesty is not even
doubted by his strongest political enemies. His election would give
universal satisfaction.
______________

BALL AT VOTAW'S. -- We are requested to state that a social ball will
be given by Mr. B. T. VOTAW, at his well known ranch, near Fiddletown,
