J. II, DowUby, charged, with the mur
der of Clcve Jennings, appeared before
Judge Mi'lirlde yesterday, and the dale
of hi trial wat tet for Monday, Sep
tember 30th, John Smith and Howard
Browne!! were appointed by the court,
to defend him.
The appearance of BowUby brought
out a story that make hlin ft modern
Damon. Th story of Damon and
Pythla, on which i founded the order
of the Kulght of Pythiat, It to well
known, as tha exemplification, of true
friendship and loyally, that to call
man ft Pythiat la one of tha highest
compliment he can bo paid him ft a
man. The portion U where Damon, un
der sentence of death, asks permiiilon
to vltlt hit wife and family, at a dist
ance, to bid them farewell. Pythias, hi
friend, offer himielf a ft hostage for
hla return In time lor execution at tun
down. Should Damon not return at the
Unit tet (or the execution Pythla wa
to have tuffcrcd death through the
laxity of hi friend. After Damon bid
farewell to hi loved ones be older bin
hone only to find that bis lave, through
love of hi mater, hat (lain the horte,
that he would not U able to reach the
distant city in time, and hit life thus
be spared Damon ttealt ft horse from a
neighbor, arid, riding like a whirlwind,
reuchet hi destination just In time to
prevent the execution of hit friends
Bowl-by, under ft charge of murder,
nun conllned in the county jail and hi
friend, by qualifying in tmall amount,
raised bonds of $2500 for his appearance
at this term of court. Bowlsby went to
hi former home t North Bend, on bit
release, and awaited the opening of
court. As the date of the opening of
court drew near" BowUby grew nervous.
Water transportation is at beat oncer
tain, the Alliance had met with an aoci
dent at the mouth of the Willamette and
it was uncertain when the would leave
North Bend. To make assurance Jjubly
sure that he would appear at the open
ing of the court, Bowlsby made ft refer
vation on the steamer Breakwater that
wat to have on September 5. When the
day of sailing came he wag ready to
leave but wa Informed that all aceom
moJationt were sold and throuph an
error hi reservation had been overlook
ed. Ho wat told that another steamer,
the Alliance, would leave in time for
hlih to reach Astoria before the 10th,
but, thinking of hie friend, who had
given bonds for him, and could ill afford
to have the bonds forfeited, he was de
termined to takt passage on that steam
er. How he did it has just come to
light. Bowlby says little about it but
admits, on questioning, that the account
is truthful, lie packed such articles as
I he woiihl neeil on tha trin. in his crln.
I was altraciea to t"e passengers ooa ruing
the steamer, In the regular way, by the
I gangplank, he slipped over the stern of
the boat nnd etowed himself away
I When at st the purser approached him
demand ing his ticket. He had none but
! offered his fare. There wew no ileep
1 . .
ing accommodations, not taken up, so
Bowlsby, although paying flrst-class
fare, was compelled to sleep on the deck,
in the steerage, even the chairs in the
smoking room being occupied. He reach
ed here on Friday, September 0th, and
was In the court ou opening day but
the matter was not taken up until yes
terday. He Is here, his bondsmen need
not worry and now he is awaiting the
late of his trial.
There is similitude In this ease to
Damon and Pythias, Id Bowlsby hurry
ing to Astoria, to be tried for his life,
yet saving the money of his friends who
had made his temporary release pos
sible.
Trap Fishing Poor
Charles Ecklund, trap . man at
Chinook, was in the city yesterday and

expected. He stated that the gill net
men near Sand Island, and outside, were
doing fairly well.
