June 17, 1829, North Carolina Journal On Tuesday last, JONATHAN WAYNE of Guilford County was shot in the City of Raleigh by RICHARD POWERS of Raleigh, and expired a few minutes after recieving the wound. The circumstances attending this unfortunate affair, as far as they have come to our knowledge, are these: an altercation took place between the parties, when WAYNEX threatened to strike POWERS with a stick; upon which POWERS went off, produced a gun and returned. The quarrel was then resumed. WAYNEX advanced upon his antagonist, who warned him if he approached him, he would shoot him. He, however, continued to advance, and POWERS, at length, fired and lodged the contents of his gun in WAYNEX'S abdomen. POWERS was immediately arrested and committed to prison. --Raleigh Star, 11th inst.
