A Sensational Shooting at Scot.

A sensational shooting occurred
at Scotland Neck Friday after
noon when E. E. Powell, Sr., a
well-known citizen of the town,
shot down in quick succession
State Senator E. L. Travis. of
Halifax, State Representative A.
P. Kitchin and Deputy Sheriff C.
w. Dunn, of Scotland Neck. Mr..
Kitchin is a brother Of Governor
Kitchin, Congressman Claude
Kitchin. and DR.. T. D. Kitchin,
of Lumberton. 1t seems that
Powell asked Mr.. Travis some
thing about not replying to a let
ter, and when Travis replied that
the letter had escaped his notice
Powell began to curse him. Mr..
Kitchin tried to pacify Powell,
placing his hand on his shoulder,
when Powell Immediately pulled
his pistol and shot Kitchin.
Kitchin fell to the ground and
Powell turned and shot Travis in
the face, Travis falling also.
Dunn started to approach but
when Powell raised his arm tt
fire he turned, the ball entering
his side. Dunn is fatally wound
ed, it is thought. The wound:
of Kitchin and Travis are painful
but not considered dangerous
Powell has the reputation of be
ing a bad man. After the shoot
ing he threatened other people
with his gun and refused to sur
render for several hours. Th'
question of his sanity is bein,
raised.
Powell was taken to the Stat
penitentiary at Raleigh yester
day. It was reported in Raleig
yesterday that Dunn died yestel
, day at noon. 1t has been impos
sible to get any word here toda
