 Tie Schilling, daughter of the late brew CT Schillirg, has been taken up in the criminal court. Court ,nay was arraign- ed yesterday and entered a plea of not guilty.
 The shooting occurred on March 20, 1891, and created sensation in Comp ton Hill society circles, where Miss Schillirg, who is only 19 years old and believed to 5e worth S20, 1000 ID her own right, was both prominent and popular.
 She had known pr. Courtenay for a long time, ,and he had become infatuated with either her beauty or her money.

 On the day of the shooting Courtenay called at airs. Lewig's house and per suaded Miss Schilling to see him. AL most as soon as she appeared he drew revolver and fired three shots, only one of wlch tock effect.

Cour- tensy and hls wife have become recon ciled and she was ir court yesterday when the case was called. Miss Schil- Itl rr-D olc hnr tol deal of attention.
