TOO OFREE
WITH GUN
Tom Ramsey Strikes
Jockey Over Head Near
ly Causes Panic

Thomas Ramsey a mining man OF
Reno and founder of the mining camp
of Ramsey yesterday assaulted a
negro jockey, Manuel Norris at the
State Fair racetrack AND beat him
over the head with a revolver because
Morris refused to ride in a rae.
Ramsey was acting as Marshal OF
the track at the time he attacked the
jockey, and Immediately resigned his
position.
According to those who witnessed
the fight Ramsey ruled the jockey OFF
the track because the jockey refused
to ride, after being fined 500 for be-
ing late at race. In the argument
that followed Morris is claimed to
have threatened to strike Ramsey
with riding whip and Ramsey as
saulted him with a gun. Even though
badly injured the jockey mounted his
horse after the fine was paid and
won the race by length. The
horse ridden belongs to Lem Allen
former lieutenant Governor and fol-
lowing the trouble Ramsey came near
hitting Allen but was restrained by
friends of the latter.
1t is stated that Morris will swear
to a warrant charging Ramsey with
assault with intent to kill.
The trouble nearly caused riot at
the fair grounds. 1t will be remem-
bered that Ramsey shot Carson
man near the camp of that name
a year or SO ago and was never
prosecuted.
