A ROW AMONG RELATIVES
Mrs. Fannie T. Holiday Now Ia Jail
for Uttering Threats
she Said She Would Destroy. XIII, Stab
and Shoot Her Brother -in-iaw, Bug
Holiday, and Wife

Mrs. Fannie 7. Holiday was arrested
Yesterday by Constable Yonkcr on a war
rant charging her with having threat
ened to destroy. shoot, stab and kill.
From the quantity of causes for complaint
1t would appear that she is most fero-
cious and desperate criminal, but last
night she did not seem as such, and, in
fact, is now very sorry that she spoke
and wants to get out of her dilemma.
Tho case 10 the result of family row,
and while. like all such domestic dssen-
sios, is to be deplored, It presents new
ertheless some very amusing features.
Her brother.in-law is Bug Holiday, thu
former baseball player, and who married
about year ago a daughter Of Allan G.
Thurman. Bug and his wife reside in a
cosy little cottage on West Adams street.
where they maintain several colored SER
wants. Including coaohman. 1t will be
remembered that Bug left the city sud.
denly one evening after having tried to
shoot Burton, another gambler. Holl-
day was gone some months and has re-
turned only comparatively recently. For.
tune, though, smiled on him during his
enforced absence. and in the we'll
groomed gentleman who stepped from
the Pullman car at the depot hardly any
one would have presumed he was the old
time Bug. 1t was. though, and be has
been enjoying himself ever since his ar
rival.
Time is too indefinite and space too
limited too dwell upon the social rea-
tions between Mrs. Fannie 7. Holiday
an6 her brother in law and his wife.
For some unexplained reason, however.
a coldness spfang up, and as result
Mrs. Fannie, who, by the way, is widow,
was gently acquainted with the fact that
the back yard OF her brother n-law was
much too large for her to play in and she
had better Keep cut.
Mis-. Fannie did not think that
she had been treated exactly right, but it
was not until she went home and thought
that her anger began to rise. Her nature
is very intense, and smarting under the
insult and neglect of her two relations by
marriage, she decided to give them a
practical illustration of her displeasure.
Accordingly last Wednesday she donned
her latest Partisan costume and started
for the forbidden back yard. No one was
at home but two servants. Mrs. Fannie
went into the house and enacted the role
Of bull in china shop. She broke,
so tits asse-t ted. every piece of bric-a brac
that was within reach, and what was not
was fiooIed with q woman's unerrine
aim. Glasses, Dresden china import ed
porcelain and all of the pretty articles
that had enhanced the home of Bug Holt
day and his wife were smashed into
smithereens.
2 Not satisfied with this. Mrs. Fannie in
Inundated the servants with sword cane
and then, il is claimed, made those dire
and blood-curdllng threats for which she
now languishes in jail.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Bug returned and
saw the vandalism of Mrs. Fannie they
decided to secure protection, and SO hired
a private Waterman. The next day she
visited brother-in-law again. but was dis
armed OF revolver and stiletto before
doing any damage.
A family council consisting of Bug. his
wife and the servants was held and they
decided to swear to the complaint against
Mrs. Fannie. The natter is In the Hotel
de Burr and awaits with absorbing inter-
est the next move OF her relatives.
