HUDSON, Mich, Aug. 17.--Miss Jennie
Tabor's arrest has caused one of the
most startling. sensations. Twenty
dynamite cartridges were found in the
top of the parlor organ at the Tabor
homestead, three miles northwest of
Hudson. There was. trouble over the
property among members of the family,
and the suspicious of the younger brother
being aroused, he Instituted search
which resulted in the discovery. The
Tabor family, one of the best known and
wealthiest in the state, year ago con-
sisted of Henry Tabor, his wife and
three children, Josie, Jennie and Harry
Josie is now Mrs. J. II. Elmore and
lives in Hudson. Jennie, although
somewhat eccentric, has moved in the
best society and has been much sought
after. She was her fathers fayorite>and
it was generally understood that she
would fare best in the division of his es-
tate. Her mother was opposed to this,
believing that all the children should
be treated alike. A family quarrel en-
sued, which was suspended for. time,
about year ago, when the widow was
adjudged insane and was sent to the
asylum for dangerous insane criminals
at Iona. The case will now get into the
courts.
