Among the various gambling scenes that have occLred on western and southern rivers, there is one which Should not be forgotten, the more "o that one of the principal actors in the event IS known throughout the country to have been a man of tried bravery and cour age. and his name, James Bowie, is always aasociaied with the idea of reckless fearle/s ness. In a recent conversation with an old steamboat man a Eepublican reporter learn ed of the foUowmg, which occurred on board the steamer Orleans. Cint DavJa father of Capt. John B. Divis.lie^'o'JI^ Diamond Jolline-master.in the fall of 1832. At that tinne the river steamers were begin- uing to be infested with organizsd gangs of gamblers, which in a tew year* embraced in Its ranks as allies and confederates many of the baj. keepers and other offi^jers of the b, a s of higher rank, and with their assis- tance and connivance, m^y a planter was robbed ot hia all and driven to suicide ir murder. In the fall of the year the merchants and planters of tlie country along the lower riv- er went east to purchase goods or to collect the proceeds of the yeara' crop of cotton or sugar, and their arrival at and departure from New York were carefully noted by emissaries of the gamblers. 1 f it was known that they cairied back to the we^t or south any large amount of money, they were watched, and an efficient gang of sharps was placed upon their tracks. In the summer of 1835, man of Natchez, who had ried, made an extended quite In the ' of I to which, of course, the as there â- "t'ty of goods' carried by water has only the ganM '»««i4,uoo,000ton8. rtrsnger a young gentle- just been mar- weading tiip to the north, and on hia way back home had stop- ped in New York to collect a number of bills which had been entrusted to him for collec- tion by planters at and near Natchez, and the amount in the aggregate was larfe. Shortly after his arrival in New York the young man was spotted and hia acquaint- ance made by several of the gambling fra- ternity, but, though they tried hard to do so, they failed to inveigle him into any of their deus. When he had transacted his business there, the young man started for home with hia wife, but knowing of his pro- bable route a well-organized gang started ahead of him, leaving two of the fraternity to accompany their intended victim and keep him in sight. Learning at Pittsburg that he would take a steamer for Louisville, where he would t3- main a few days and then take one of the New Orleans packets for Natehez, they join- ed him on the boat; and on the trip to Louis- ville card -playing was introduced to wile away the time. H*ving been allowed to win small sums, by the time they had reach- ed Louisville the victim imagined he knew all about the game. This game, which at the time referred to wasvery much in vogue, was called a twenty-card poker, and was played with the tens, jacks, and queens, kings, and aces of the pack, and as but four ceuld play at a time, the game was admir- ably adapted for what is known to the gam icg fraternity as "three pluck one." After a pleasant visit in Louisville the young man took passage on the sttamer Or leani lor Natchez. The gentleman's cabin, where all the card-playing was done, was on the main deck, directly under the ladies' cabin. Instead of the round wheel houses now seen, the Orleans' were square, flat on top, and came up to within two feet of the hurricane deck, and the distance between them was about thirty-five feet. Not long after leaving Louisville card-playing was re- sumed, and so effectually had the gamblers carried out their scheme that they had won nearly all their victim's money before reach- ing Vicksburgand had intended to complete their work before Natchez was reached,!* comparatively easy task, as he was drunk and desperate. A few miles above Vicks- burg a tall, straight, and dignified gentle- man, having much the appearance of a preacher, got aboard the boat, and in a few minutes took a seat near the gamblers, wljere he could see all that was going on. Several times during the continuance of the game, and after the tall stranger had come aboard, the young wife of the gamblers' vic- tim had besought him to leave their com pany, but in vain, so deep was the infatua- tion of the game and so strong hia belief that he could yet win back the money which he had lost. Play continued into the night, and by I o'clock in the morning his money was all won from him, and. rendered desperate by the knowledge that he had been recreant to the trust reposed to him, the victim rose from his teat and mshed wildly to the side of the boat, intent upon eelf-destruction, but just as he was m the act of springing overboard he was seized by a grip olEiron aid held, and. his young wife appearing at the time, he was taken to his roJm by the stranger, who assured her that all would be right if she would only keep her husband m the room until his re- *°Retnming to the cabin, where the gam- blers and their friends were standing around the bar drinking, the stranger drew out oi SsieSTw!ll.fiUed waUet. ^d takmg outfit a «100 bank-note, ask^ the b^- keeper to change it for him.

The stranger quietly put up the l^riV}^ ""^oxmt. and when the^nex^^man t«t 8100 more, the next manT the "ealer then threw up his hand and drew out. The two remaining gamblers then kept raising the bet whenever it came their turn, the stranger cooly putting up whatever sum was nrcessary, until the the total amount on the table was $100,000, of which the stranger had contributed one third. While the let- ting was going on the stranger had kept hia eyes on the dealer, and had. by his watch- fulness prevented any changing of the cards. Toward the last he taw a card slipped by the dealer to the man who had made the 0"t»a, when seizing his wrist with one hand, he drew a murderous looking knife with the other, and fcroed the gambler to lay his cards on the table face down. All sr ring to their feet, and the stranger quiet- ly said that when that hani was laisea and It should be found to contain six cards, he would kill the owner telling the other to show his cards, he threw down hia own hand, which consisted of four kings and a lea spot. Tne baffled gambler, livid with rage and disappointment, swore that the stranger should fight him, demanding, with an oath, to know who he was anyway. Quietly, and as if in the presencs of ladies, the stranger answered, ' James Bjwie. " At the sound of that name two of the ganblers quailed, for they knew that the man who bore that name was a teiror to even the bravest, but the third, who had never heard of ' James Bowie," demanded a a duel at once. This 7aa acceded to at once by Bowie, with a smile pistolsâ€" der- ringers â€" were the weapons selected, tQc hur- ricane-roof the place, and the time at once Sweeping the whole of the money into hia hat, Bowie went to the room where the un- happy wife sat guarding her husbands un- easy tlumbers, and, rapping on the door, he handed her, when she nad opened it, the hat and its contents, telling her that, if he did not come, two-thirds of the money was her hhsband's, and the balance his own. Ascending to the hurricane-roof the priti- cipala were placed one upon the top of each wheel house. This i brought them about twelve yards apart, and each was exposed to the ether from the knee up. The p'stols were handed to them, and the gambler s sec- ond gave the word, "cne, two, three, fire, stop,' uttered at intervals of one second eacD and they were allowed to fire at any time between the utterance of the words one and stop. As "one" rarg out on the clear morning air both raised their weapons, as "three" was heard the gambler's p'stol rang out, and before the sound had ceased, and while the word "fire" was being uttered, Bowie's p'stol sounded, and simultaneous with this sound, the gimbler fell, and giving a con/ul- sive struggle, rolled off the wheel-house into the nver. Bowie cocly blew the smoke out of his pistol, shut down the pan (the flint-lock was in use at the time) and going down into the ladies' cabin, obtained h^s nat and di- vided the money which it contained iuto three portions. Two of these he gave to the young wife and the other he kept, as it was his own money. Hiving awakened herhcs- band, the fond wife shoved him the money and told him all she knew about the aff.iir, not having heard of the duel.
