Mail Agent Attacked and Probably
KILLED.

WELDON, N. c., March 5.-This town was TO-
day the scene Of a tragical occurrence. Patrick
MCGOWAN, mail agent on the route between Wei
don and Raleigh, was attacked by three men, John
IL. Everett, postmaster at Spring Hill, Halifax
county, his son, and mae named Price, and ter
ribly wounded.
II appears that some misunderstanding had oc-
Cured relative TO some business transactions, the
amount in controversy being only about one dollar;
that bitter feelings were engendered and il is al
legged that MCGOWAN was followed TO this place by
the parties above named who made murderous
attack upon him, shooting him through the head
neck, and acknowledging six balls about his
person, and after MCGOWAN was down, his assail
ants continued firing upon him, and beating him
over the head with their revolvers. The wounded
man is supposed to be in dying condition. The
three men were arrested. and are now in Jail.
They had previously followed Mr.. McGowen 10
Castor, but on hearing of it he remained IN the
mail car and returned 10 this place, whittier they
pursued him. Mr.. MCGOWAN is a steady and re.
spectacle citizen, and has wife and several
