"The noted Bowles was brought prisoner to this city, three days ago, escorted by Ten Indians. It is understood that some time since the Governor promised an Indian, then at this place, a reward of 3000 Dollars to apprehend Bowles, and in case of his being put to death, to bring in his head. The wiley Indian, acquainted with Bowles and his haunts, accosted him, and requested to be supplied with some milk, which was in a small adjacent house. As soon as Bowles entered the house, eight other Indians started from their lurking places, surrounded the spot, made him prisoner, and embarked him immediately on board a canoe and brought him to Pensacola, from whence they conveyed him to this place. It is reported that he will be sent in the course of a few days, to the Havanna, which probably will terminate the career of this ill fated man."
