JUDGE D. H. COWDEN succeeded Judge Harris, having been elected the fall previous
on the republican ticket. Judge Cowden was a man well qualified, and made an
excellent judge. In 1867 he had been elected district attorney, but refused to
take that office again, because during his term the salary was cut down from
$2,400 to $1,200 per annum. He served all but two months of his judicial term,
when he resigned. He died in Downieville in the winter of 1881.
