HE SHOT A LITTLE GIRL. THEREFORE A WEST SIDE YOUTH WAS ARRESTED. He Claims That it Was Accidental, but There is Evidence to the Contrary. Closing Features of the Bellevue Eisteddfod Death of a Popular Young Lady. Bert Hartman, aged about 17 vears, residing with bis parents on Blind Man's road in Ransom township, was, arrested yesterday afternoon by Constable John Davis and taken before Alderman Oram to answer a charge of shooting at Martha Edwards, a girl of 14 years, who lives with her grand parents in the same neighborhood, with attempt to kill on Monday afternoon near the young girl's home.

At 4 o'clock on that day Hartman and 3 companion had been out gunning and were returning through 'a field in which Martha Edwards, her twin sister and their younger brother were playing. Hartman, who had for some time previous retained grievance against young Edwards years, advanced towards the latter and attempted to deal him a vicious blow with his fist. Martha immediately protested and made an effort to protect her brother. When about to do so, Hartman. upon whose shoulder rested a Springfield rifle, threatened to take her life, reiterating that he would "blow her brains out." He took the weapon from his shoulder, aimed it at her and fired.

The contents took effect in the back of her neck and head. She was assisted to her home nearby, where Dr. H. C. Comegys was summoned.

At the hearing yesterday afternoon Hartman denied having made threat and stated that the affair purely accidental, the the, gun having discharged itself in coming contact with his clothing. Her twin sister and brother each corroborated the former's testimony. Dr. H. C.

Comegys stated that the child's condition was precarious, her chances being even. After listening to the evidence adduced the Alderman committed Hartman without bail to await the result of his victim's illness. He will again be called before Alderman Oram this morning when, if the girl is pronounced out of danger, he will be required to give bail. The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Thomas Edwards, reside on this side and he is 8 miner in the Capouse colliery. CHRISTMAS WEDDING.
