Black "Wag Brought to Raleigh Last
Night and Placed' in Jail He
Slapped Rowland's Brother Which
, - Caused the Trouble Young Man
Who Was Shot Highly Regarded.
Marshall Howland, the eighteen year
old son of Mr. Bennett Rowland, of
McCuller's, a station on the Raleigh &
Southport railroad and In Wake county,
was shot and mortally wounded yes
terday about four o'clock by Rowden
Black, a sixteen year old boy, whose
- people at the present time live in, ibis
county but formerly residents of Moore
county. , Black did not attempt -to get
away -and in a short tline after the
shooting was placed undo arrest and
committed to" Jail by Justice of the
Peace i. E. Stevens without ball. The
physicians attending young Rowland
say there is no hope' whatever of his re
covery.
As tar as can be learned, the facts
are as follptyf:
Black .met a young brother of
Marshall "Rowland near the station at
McCuller's and asked him where he
could' 'get -some whiskey. The boy re
plied that he did not know and it Is
ssjd: that bis remark caused Black to
nuko a remark that he did not like and
warm words followed, resulting in
Black slapping young Rowland. The
boy went to his home and told his older
brother of the way Black had treated
him and Marshall Rowland went to the
depot to see Black about it. When he
arrived Black was sitting on the edge of
a flat car and is said to have fired on
Rowland without . any provocation
whatsoever, giving as his reason after
wards that. Rowland approached htm
with his hands in his pockets and he
thought he was preparing to shoot him
for slapping his tKowiana-si nrotner.
T3Kck:Hfea three tlmeB and twvehots
took effect, one entering the mouth and
came out back of his ear and the other
entered on the side of the nock and
ranged towards the spinal column.
Black made no attempt to get away and
when a crowd gathered claimed that he
believed Rowland was preparing to
shoot him and he fired.
LaBt night about eleven o'clock, Dep
uty Sheriff L H. Rowland, brought
Black to Raleigh and he was placed in
jail. Toung Rowland was highly re
garded and the affair has caused much
teellng to exist against Black.
Brought to Rea Hospital.
Marshall Rowland was brought to
Raleigh this morning an the Raleigh
& Southport train and. placed in the
Rex hospital. The young man is con
scious, but the lower part of his body
is paralyzed, the second bullet having
struck him on the spinal column. He
says itiat when Black first shot at him
he thought he was filing a blank cart
ridge to scare him. The second shot
struck him in the right cheek, just
above the corner of his. mouth and the
young fellow then turned to run when
Black fired a third time' and the ball
struck Rowland in (he back, The at

Mrs. Mammock Is away in the coun
try. Dr. Cammack was awakened by
the- footsteps of a man on the stairs.
and creeping to the hallway, he saw a
burglar., The man neld a oara lan
tern in one band and a shining instru
ment that looked like a revolver In the
other. His face was covered by a
mask. . -
The physician waited until the man
was up the stairs and then sprang at
him. The two rolled down the steps
together. In the landing Dr. Cammack
had the better of the argument with
the burglar. At the bottom, suddenly
the man poked a shining instrument
into the physician's face and squirted
ammonia about his head. A . quick
duck saved the physician's eyes. He
quickly recovered and gave chase.
The man made a hard fight before he
wa3 captured.
The police are of the opinion that the
recent robberies and attempts at rob
bery in the part of the town in which
John D. Rockefeller and other million

by Gordon. '
