TERROR IN DUCHESS COUNTY.
A Dwarf and Hermit Shoots a Farmer and
Escapes to the Woods.

PouaHKEEps1E. Nov. 3O.-Aaron Lockwood. Q
dwarf and hermit. has spread terror through
out the eastern part OF Duchess county.
Lockwood lived all alone for years In a shanty
In Putnam county near the Duchess county
line. He constantly patched his clothing with
every coored patch he could find. 1t was his
custom to wander through the woods and
along the highways. carrying a gun in ono
hand and an axe in the other. Ho was regard
ed as n harmless sim peton. and the boys used
to plague lin.
On saturday morning last. as John Knapp.
neighnring farmer was passing Lockwood's
cabin. tho old hermit rushed out with his gun
and opened fire upon knapp. filing his arm
ing him. Knapp iel in in the hichw Hyu and
Lockwood fled to the hills. Ilo was hutess
and cOatless and the morning was very cold.
The officers and neighbors have been search
ing for the hermit ever since, bpt no trace Of
him there is a feeling Of terror n i through that
region. which is not likely to abata until the
dangerous dwarf is captured Knapp will
probably recover from his wounds.
