FATAL ACCIDENT -- A man by name of Albert CHEENEY, while engaged in tunneling in the Webster claim, at Copperopolis, on Monday, was killed by the caving of a bank. His body was found to have escaped much injury, but his head was literally crushed, of course, producing death instantly. We have no further particulars of this sad accident. It is only to be wondered that such accidents are not of more frequent occurrence.
