Murderous Assault.
A row in Joseph weidman's saloon, on
Henry street near King, between George
Hough and E. c. Ramey led to a murder
Gus assault attempted by Hough on Ramey
with a pistol at the intersection of King
and Henry streets between IL and II o'clock
Thursday night. The details of the case
were heard before Mayor Simpson in the
poilce court yesterday morning. The evil
dence was, in effect, that Hough had some
trouble with Ramey in the saloon and had
gone out and lain in wait for him, hiding
behind the railroad watch box at that
place. When Ramey and the saloon keeper
came out the man emerged from his hiding
place and approached, brandishing the re-
volver. 1t was quickly wrenched from his
hand and he was knocked down by a pow
erful blow on the head, infiicting an ugly
wound. Officer Ticer and Lieut.. Smith ap-
peared and made the arrest.
After hearing the evidence, Mayor Simp-
son stated that, though the prisoner was
drunk, he was guilty of crime which
might be punishable with several years I'm
the penitentiary, but that he proposed to
inf1ict punishment for the offense of car
rying concealed weapons. He carefully
drew the line between cases where the con-
cealed weapon was a perfectly harmless
one and the case in point, and referred to
the fact that superficial readers of newspa-
per accounts were often amazed to see the
same charge recorded against prisoners and
different fines imposed The fine for this
case was 500.
