He, not suspecting II was the girl, raised his gun and fired the ball breaking the little girls arm. On last Saturday the girl was brought 10 the office of Briggs & Briggs in this place for treatment. The arm was gone.

God dard, who was convicted of murdering Edward Ward at Gill; ham a year ago. The proclama- tion was issued on mandate from the Supreme court setting forth the fact that the Supreme court had refused 10 grant a rehearing in the case.
 Goddard was indicted by the Sevier county grand jury in June, 1905, tor waylaying and murder ing Edward Ward near Gillham, that county.

 At the June term of the Sevier county circuit court he was con. victed of murder in the first de. gree for killing Ward and was sentenced to be hanged July 28. He appealed from the del ision ol the circuit court, however, and 1T the meantime the date for the execution passed.

 and Western Union for SI0.404


 Little Rock, April 28.-Prose. cuting Attorney Rhoton yester- day brought suit against the Ma tional Biscuit Company for S25,- OO0 for failure to file it's articles of incorporation as required by law. The suit Is similar to that hled against the Western Union Telegraph Company and which was decided by Judge Winfield against the telegraph company.

Rhoton also brought suit yesterday in circuit court against the Western Union Telegraph Company for $19,404, alleged to be due as fee for the filing of the articles of incorporation of the defendant company in the off, lice of secretary of the state. Mir. Rhoton brought suit against the company last summer, alleging that the company had failed to file a copy of its charter.

CAR KILLS NlNE.YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Ella Hardy Meets Horrible Death in
 Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, April 30.- Ella Hardy, 9.year-old daughter oi of Mrs. George Hardy. was hor- ribly mangled this afternoon about 3:30 by street car, and died within an hour after the accident, from her injuries.
 Her mother resides on Bower street near Park avenue, and the little girl, with another child. was going home from school. A couple of schoolboys riding on the rear end of a wagon were teasing the two girls, and Ella picked up a rock and playfully threw it at one of them and ran. Her course was directly across the street car track, and she ran directly in front of an approach ing street car, controlled by Mo,orman Dean, one of the oldest and most careful motormeu on the line. He shut off the current when the car struck the child, but before he could bring the car to stop, on account of the grade, her body was dragged fifty feet, and was finally caught under the wheels. Her hips and lower limbs were horribly crushed.
 The accident occurred within a block of the street car office and was witnessed by a number of people.
 The father of the child died a few months ago and the mother is prostrated with grief over the tragic death of the child.
