Adams & Co. have furnished us with an extra of
the San Joaquin Republican, dated April g. from
which we gather the following intelligence re.
speeding the capture and suicide of Bowlin, the
murderer of Mr.. Brown:

Mr.. Irving A. Mcbride came to Mariposa from
the Mormon Bar, three miles from that place.

he had seen Bowlin in the Vicinity of Mormon
Bar. These two officers, with Mr. Joseph r.
Brown, started Immediately in pursuit. About

mile from where they'll eft their horses they first
got sight of him, and kept gaining on him until
they were in speaking distance, when he was
ordered to stop and surrender He turned and
drew his pistol, and said if they advanced any
farther, he would shoot the first man that did
so. AT that moment, he dropped bis pistol on
the ground, and drank off the contents of a two
ounce vial, containing prussie acid, which he
drew from his pocket.

gagged in mining on Willow Creek, near Yankee
Camp, was shot by party of Indians on Thurs |
day OF last week He aspanning out his davis
labor at the time, and although the Indians
were present, anticipated no danger Every |
effort was made by Justice Taliaferro, of San
Andres, for the apprehension of the perpetra- |
tors OF this foul deed. He sent for two of our |
chiefs, and told them he would hold them ner-
sonally responsible, if they did not produce the |
ones that committed the crime; but it was of no |
avail, as they insisted it was none of their men
