lYounq Girl Shot Dead BY Her Brother

4 sad tragedy occurred in South
smpton township, this county, on
Sunday evening last resulting in the
instant death of q young girl at the
hands of younger brother. Julia
Bennett, l. daughter Of Enos Ben
nett, aged Is years, and younger
brother aged about II years, left
home in company on Sunday eve
ning TO attend religious services at
Mount Zion church, some few miles
distant. On their way they stopped
in at She home of William Trail. The
boy noticed Mr.. Trails double bar
relied shot gun standing i'll the COL
ner, which he took up and raising it
to his shoulder as in the act of tax
ing aim called to his sister-"Julia,
look here. She did look, and it
was her last. Just as she turned to
face her brother the boy touch, d
the trigger, the gun was discharged,
and the contents Of one barrel went
crushing into the right temple f
the unsuspecting girl, literally tear
ing the whole top of her head of,
and she fell dead at her reckle, S
brothers feet.
1t is not alleged, or even suggest
cd, that the boy intended to do his
sister any hurt, but Just to frighten
her. 1t is at least charitable to AS
sumo that the discharge of the gun
WAS wholly unintentional and acci-
dental, and AS much surprise to
the boy as to the others in the room
ut the time. While this fact miti-
gates the boys crime, and relieves
him of the responsibility of wilfully
taking his sisters life, it does not in
any way relieve him from censure
for the criminal act of deliberately
pointing the loaded weapon at her,
even III playfulness. For this Of
Tense there is no adequate legal pun
ishment. The greatest punishment
any one can experience under such
circumstances is the memory of the
horrible event, which must be ever
present in the mind of the surviv-
ing actor in the fearful tragedy, to
haunt him with the bloody sight so
long as he may live The dangerous
practice of pointing fire arms,
whether empty or loaded, in fun or
otherwise, at living persons, cannot
be too often or to severely condemn
ed. There is no fun in it, but it is
fraught with imminent danger and
in many instances instant death, as in
the above case.-E'ceren RepubH-
can.
