From Ipjuri.s Received.
Thos. X. McSweeney died at the rail
road hospital in this city at $40 o'clock
this morning, from the effects OF gun
shot wound which he received at Wins
low yesterday morning.
Mc5Weeney WAS section foreman on
the santa fe Pacific railroad near Wins

section hand by the name OF Smiley,
which caused hard feelings between the
two men. Yesterday morning McSwee
ney, his wife and three small children
came TO NinsiOw, with the intention OF
going to ri PssO for the purpose OF hay-
ing Mrs. McSweeney. who IL blind,
treated by an expert oculist. Smiley,
who had been nursing his hatred Of SIC

charge, met the latter and shot him on
sight, the bullet passing through the
kidneys.
Smiley was at once arrested and Nc
Sweeney was put on the train and brought
TO this city. He arrived here on No.
