party-They Pull Out For the
West When the Signs OF Daylight
Appeared.
For some time past the fact has been
known that q party headed by the
much abused Coils P. Huntington,
system, would pass through here and
all departments of their lines in this
city were placed in condition to receive
this brilliant mark in the railroad
world, aud a. II o'clock last night the
special bearing G. p. Huntington and
wife, q. f. Huntington and wife, j.
Krutschnitt, VIM. Hood and Superin-
tendent W. r. Martin pulled into this
point and were joined here by Super
intendent Randolph, of the Tucson
division.
1t was thought that the party would
remain until some time today and
visit the boys" before departing for
the west but such was not the case.
The G.. II. workmen arose this morning
full of ginger and determination and
appeared at their posts of duty some
whab earlier than usual to await the
arrival of the distinguished party.
Gradually the news spread that the
party had come and gone and over

prepared for them here, and those who
were anxious to see 1.-The ten wheeler"
were disappointed. That's all right, +"
said one of the employees, Il intend to
visit San Francisco in the near future
and 1 won't call on Coils" The party
pulled out for the west this morning
at an early hour and but few people
here enjoyed the pleasure of even see
ing the cars VIII ich contained them.

A sad case came TO light this morning
upon the arrival in this city of Mrs.
McSweeney and her three children
from Denison, Arizona, small station
located a short ways from Winslow
Arizona.
The story as related by the woman,
who is stone blind in both eyes. is very
pathetic and heart rending. She said
that sometime like two years
her eyes became affected
and for time she thought she would
lose her sight. Proper treatment was
re.orted 20 and her eye sight was re-
stored and her eyes apparently cured.
She then went to Denison, Arizona,
where her husband had charge of a
section. Time passed on and her eyes
at first improved but q short time ago
they again began to fail and she rapid
~ lost her sight.
Mr.. McSweeney con cluded that he
would bring her to this place and have
her eyes treated. They left Denison
together but she arrived here with
her three ba bee, but her husband was
shot at WlnsIow and died in Albu-
querque, and was buried there.
She took the T. & p. this afternoon
for Hupb ard City. Texas where her re-
la,ives reside.
The following account of the killing
is taken from the Albuquerque Citi-
zen, the only correction to be made be-
ing that Mr.. Sweeney was shot three
times. one bullet striking him in the
kidneys and another in the sbowels
That paper gives the following &C.
count:
Thos. K. insolvency died at the rail-
road hospital in this city at 3 40 o'clock
shis morning, from the effects of a gun
shot wound which he received at Wins
low yesterday morning.
McSweeney was section foreman
on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad near
Winslow. A few days ago he dis
charged section hand by the name of
Smiley, which caused hard feelings
between the two men. Yesterday
morning McSweeney, his wife and
three small children came to Winsiow,
with the intention of going to Ell Paso
for the purpose of having Mrs. Nc
Sweeney, who is blind, treated by an
expert Oculist. Smiley, who had been
nursing his hatred of McSweeney on
strong drink since his discharge, 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. l last night and was accompani-
ed by his wife and children He was
taken to the Santa Fee Pacific hospital,
aud, as stated above, died early this
morning from his injuries.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row from Undertaken Strong's parlors,
with burial ii Santa Barbara cemetery.
The deceased was member of the
Catholic church and Father Mandelari
will conduct the funeral services.
The condition in which the family is |
left is most pitiable. Mrs. McSweeney
is blind and her three children are so |
small as to be helpless, the Oldest be- |
ing only about 5 years old and the |
YOU gest still babe in her mothers
arms.
McSweeney was stalwart young
man about Sc years of age and was a |

Experience in a Dry Goods

my wife was telliD- me something
that occurred yesterday while she was
shopping," said conductor with an
expression on his face that would in
dictate that he really meant what he
said. There were a number of ladies
to be waited upon before it came her
turn, SO she stood back ana took point
ers, as the saying is: One lady called
for some silk and after looking at it
long enough to make piece equal to
it in quality and quantity, she asked the
price of it. Upon being told she gasp
ed for breath and almost tainted WHY
is it so high priced?' She INQUIRED
well, madam said the clerk, the
severe winter which is just coming to a
close, destroyed all the silk
worms and this piece of goods is very
high as consequence, A young, and
evil emily green clerk who was listen
ing to the conversation was pressed in
to service by lady who was standing
close to my wife, demanding that she
be waited upon. She told the appar-
ent new man that she wanted some
tape Immediately. The clerk nervous
ly reached for box Of the valuable
stuff on the shelf and spread it before
her. What is it worth?' She said in
an angry tone, AMI when told she pat
ted her foot on the floor and wanted to
know why it was that tape was so much
more costly than it was last fall. The
nervous clerk looked around him for a
while but finally his faced frightened
up and he said very politely: well, you
see, madam, the severe winter which is
just drawing to close destroyed all
The tape worms. and, you see. And he
really wondered why she did not wait
