Some further details of the tragedy above recited were learned from Dr. Ogburn, who came down on the Winkelman train yesterday. and who was in Winkelman when the incident occurred, though he did not witness the shooting.
 The doctor said that directly in the rear of the store of Ackel and lilly there is small apartment screened off from the outside world by a blan- ket on one side and walls on another. sort of an open place probably used for sleeping apartment. Just a short distance from this is tent occupied by Ortega who, the doctor understood, runs a shoe shop or some similar little business in the camp. According to the story in circulation in Winkelman the merchants have been in the habit of dumping their sewage in the rear Of the store re- gardless of the fact that it was al- most in front of Ortega's tent. and it was stated that on some occasions these slOps had even been thrown on the tent. Ortega on one occasion had Ackel arrested for it and the case was tried in the justice court. but to what effect was not learned. other than that it only accentuated the differences between Ortega and his neighbors.
 Yesterday morning, according to the reports heard at the inquest, one Of the merchants set a bucket of s!ops in front of Ortega's tent Or tega got up and set the bucket some distance away and the merchant came along a few minutes later and set it back again. Ortega immediate ly got his Winchester and began bat tie.
 Ackel was standing not far away in the rear of his store. Mrs. O'Meara was in the screened apartment be- hind the blanket. Ortega fired at Ackel and slightly grazed him with bullet which passed through the blanket. into the right shoulder of Mrs. O'Meara, on through her body. and emerged from the left shoulder. She fell and lived only a short time. probably half an hour. The bullet went straight through her and the wound left by it's exit was a terrible one.
 Just where lilly was or where he went the doctor did not learn. only that he ran into a building nearby, either his own or an adjoining store or barroOm and got behind a counter, his left arm and hand sticking up above it. Ortega evidently followed him, either with his eye or in the flesh for when he saw the arm stick ing up he let another bullet go which went through the left wrist of Tilly.
 lilly came to Phoenix on the af- ternoOn train and is now in St. JOseph's hospital. It is understood Salim Ackel of this city and Mrs. Ramona Santa Cruz, a sister of the dead woman went up to Winkelman on the morning train. having been apprised of the tragedy by wire, and returned again last night, as there ; was nothing further to do in the premises at this time. Dr. Ogburn | said he saw Ortega after the shooting and heard him say that he did not know the woman was there and cer- tainly did not want to shoot her, de- | ploring very much that she had re- ceived the bullet intended for some one else.
 As Winkelman is just over the | line in Gila county Ortega will prob | ably be taken to Globe after his pre- i liminary in the event he is held. ! At the time the train left Winkel- | man the inquest was not yet con cluded.
 Mrs O'Meara is a Mexican wom- an quite well known in Phoenix and | it is said she has been in Winkel- man for two CT three weeks. She
