Killed On Way To Church.

Mr. j. Wesley Zepp, a farmer living
near Lamotte Postoffice, Carroll county,
was shot in the head and instantly kill
ed Sunday morning by a man who gave
his name as Lothian Heinrich, of Balti-
more. The latter was sitting by the
roadside attired in gunner's suit, with
a Winchester rifle in his hands, when
Mr.. Zepp, accompanied by his son Will
bur. passed in buggy on his way to
church, at Finksburg. The occupants
of the vehicle saluted the stranger as
they passed him, when the latter arose
and in doing so he discharged the rifle,
the bullet lodging in the base of the
elder Zepp's brain. The shooting APP
pears to have been purely accidental,
and justice of the peace residing in
Finksburg gave permission for Mr..
Zepp's body to be removed to his home.
The Carroll county authorities were
sent for and arrested Heinrich, who made
no attempt to escape. He is German
youth about 10 years of age and is en-
ployed as craftsman with the firm of
Bartlett Hayward & Co. He left Balti-
more Sunday on his vacation, which he ex-
pected to spendin the vicinity of Penmar
hunting. He has been in this country
but two years, and his father, who was
his only relative in this country, just
returned to Germany. The young man
was evidently in great distress on ac-
count of the accident, and his condition
excited the pity of ALL The family of
Mr. Ireland, who witnessed the shoot
ing, and Mr.. Zepp's son all agree that
the shooting was accidental. Mr.. j.
Wesley Zepp was about so years of age.
He bore an excellent reputation and
was an active worker in the Methodist
Church at Finksburg, to which he was
journeying when shot.
