HELD WITHOUT BAIL.

The examining trial of Henry Nc
Gowan, who stabbed and killed Lozier
Dunbar, in Russell county, few weeks
ago, came up at Jamestown last week.
There were great many witnesses
introduced, requiring two days to try
the case.
The State, as we are informed, made
out a strong case and the defendant
was held to await the action of the
grand jury without bail.
1t will be remembered that MCGOWAN,
Immediately after the killing, fled the
country, going to some point in the
West. Two weeks ago he passed
through Columbia, in company with a
young man about twenty years old, en-
route to jamestown, the young man
claiming when they reached their
destination that he had arrested Nc
Gowan in another State, and was there
for the purpose of turning him over to
the authorities. MCGOWAN apparently
is only about seventeen years old, and
the boy who delivered him to the
jailer of Russell county appeared to be
twenty or twenty-one years of age.
1t is also reported here that the arrest
ing party and MCGOWAN are cousins,
and that there was no arrest, but a
delivery to get the reward for Nc
Gowan's benefit. This statement may
or may not be true; we merely give it
as we have received it.
The young man who was killed was a
son of Mr.. James Dunbar, former
Sheriff of Russell county, who will
vigorously prosecute MCGOWAN.

filled a number of positions of trust,
and some years ago he served his
county as county Judge. He was a
victim of diseases incident to old age.
He left no children, but is survived by
his wife, who is in delicate health. He
was recognized as a man of sterling
integrity and was unusually popular
among his acquaintances.
