A well-known amateur jockey named Davis fired a revolver at a man named Hett, who was standing talking to friends in a buggy. Davis then went up to the buggy and shot Miss Emily Salisbury, twenty-three years of age, in tho back. He then rushed round to the front of the trap and fired two more shots in the girl's breast and killed her.
