Sweafingsn, wood dealer of West End and former policeman, was shot and Killed by Eli Parker, of the Montgom- cry branch of the Singer Company, on BeF1 Street, near Covfngton.
 x A shotgun loaded with duck shot, ready for rabbit hunt upon which Parker had started. was the weapon used, and both barrels were discharged, the loads of the two shells producing mortal wounds in SweArinBen,s neck and heart. An examination of the body shows that the shot took effect frathe side of the face and body, and glancsng inward from the rear. The shooting occurred near the homes of the two men. they being neIkhbors, and residents of Bell Street.
 Parker surrendered immediately, and was lodged in the county jail, pending q preliminary trial on Thursday.
 The trouble which was ended yester- day in the death of Swearingen, found it's inception during the first of No- vember.
