Statesville Landmark: Two weeks ago we gave an account of the killing of John McGUIRE, in Ashe county, by Linville WATERS, and the dangerous shooting, at the same time, by WATERS, of Silas McGUIRE.  This occurred some three weeks since.  John McGUIRE died almost instantly after being shot, and for a while it was thought that Silas’ wound would prove fatal, he having been shot through one of his lungs.  He, however, has recovered.  WATERS fled immediately after the shooting, but on Tuesday last surrendered himself to A.D. COWLES, Esq., justice of the peace at Gap Creek, Ashe county.
