F|CLKE FORTUNE MAY Be
WOOED IN CARD GAMES

Devotees Of card games will find
some solace in the fact that few
parlor games may be played for a
penny corner or cent bean.
In an opinion just rendered by
Attorney General Baker, it is held
that whist, bridge whist, solo,
frog, ETC.. can be played for
money. provided the kittyis kicked
out of the room. There can be no
playing where anyone receives any
part Of the stakes as percentage.
In the law or opinion there is no
Injunction upon a repetition Of
the remarks that once passed be-
tween the Carolina governors. SO it
is evident that a way will be found
to indulge in the games for profit
and amusement without fear Of
running afoul of the penal code

hand at poker for that gentle
American pastime is under the ban

CONVICT RAMSEY CAPTURED

George Ramsey, who escaped
from the State penitentiary farm
at Carson night before last, was
caught in this city last night by
Turnkey Nevin and Chief of Police
Nevin as he was passing along
D street. evidently coming from
Chinatown. He was arrested at
the corner Of Taylor street being
recognized by the turnkey as soon
as he approached close enough
that his features could be seen. 1t
was suspected yesterday that
Ramsey had come to Virginia, for
it was known that he had been here
before and from his habits it was
believed that he would not long
keep awey from Chinatown. This
theory was the correct one, as it
proved, and Ramsey was evidently
coming from there, as soon as
darkness made it possible for him
to travel safely. He was in hiding
somewhere about the city all day
yesterday. The prisoner was taken
to the court house where a search
was made of his person and $25 in
money found, also a gold watch
and razor. Last evening the prison
auto arrived in this city, and
Ramsey was taken back to the state
penitentiary and today was cast in
the dungeon. IT,. .
An amusing" feature of the
chase here yesterday is worth re-
peating. In the afternoon, resi-
dents of the Divide reported to the
police that a man supposed to be
Ramsey had been seen going over
the hill near the Combination
shaft, and a posse was at once
organized, armed with shotguns,
"shelalas" and other weapons.
The pursuit became warm and
when The men came upon their
quarry, it proved TO be a local
athlete out doing a little cross
country running in the way of
training.
Chief Nevln states that Ramsey
was evidently all prepared for
trip into another state. He had
on good suit of clothes stolen
from A. c. Pratt, and a 5000 watch
taken from the overseer. The
money stolen amounted 10 $35,
and it is evident that Ramsey
spent that UGH in this city yester-
dav. He stated that he arrived in
Virginia City at day break yester-
day morning, and found refuge in
house. but did not state where.
Ramsey was taken completely by
surprise when he walked into the
arms of the officers. and readily
surrendered when the officer
COVERED him with their revolvers.
