Tuesday last. for the killing Of John LSohner
another German, by shooting him. From wha,
we have been able to learn, the circumstances
attending the shooting are some what as fol
lows: On Monday last, Stang butohered, and
had Lochner assisting him. Some time during
the day, stang and Loohner quarreled, bu'
LOchner remained and assisted until the eutcb
ering WAS got through with, when he went tr
his home, which was but short distance from
Stang's. Soon after he (Lochner) came out
with 4 bucket in his hand, to the pump, and
Stang seeing him, the quarrel was renewed
when Stang got his rife and deliberately shot
Lochner, killing him instantly. Stang is very
badly bruised, but this, we understand, he re
ceived after Lochner was shot. They were
both under the influence of liquor Rockville
