Homicide i'm Carroll County.

About o'clock yesterday morning Andrew
Pfautch, a German basket maker living near
Winchester's Mill, known as Carrollton Sta
ton. W. NJ. Railroad about four miles below
this city, came to Westminster in company
with Perre Winchester, and proceeding to the
office of Justice G. w. Crapster, said he had
that morning shot and killed Jacob Lockman,
waived a hearing and was ready to go to Jail.
He was thereupon committed and taken TO
Jail by Constable Macintosh.
The particulars of the affair are not yet
known. From what we learned, it seems that
Pfautch and Lockman had a difficulty few
days previous to the shootingi that on yester-
dav morning Pfautch was out cunning when
Lockman and his son came along, the latter on
his way to school. An alteration took place.
Pfautch claims that LOckman attacked him
with stones that he hit him on the arm with
one and was advancing upon him with anoth-
err, and that he shot him in self-defence. MIR.
Lockman was shot in the stomach, and was
killed. The statement of Pfautch, obtained
from one to whom he related it, may or may
not be true, and we merely give it for what 1t
is worth. Pfautch is bad dispositioned man,
and has frequently been before the magistrates
here for whipping his wife and other offenses.
Lockman was a man of about fifty years OF
age, and leaves a family. An inquest was
held yesterday.
