ANOTHER BUTTE SUICIDE.
bug" Holiday Follows the Example OF
j. +. Kelly, His Employer.

Thomas L. Holiday. generally Y known
as bug" Holiday, committed suicide
in Butte, Monday evening by shooting
himself. Holiday was a very heavy
drinker, and was crazed when drunk.
He was an employe of j. F. Kelly, who
committed suicide last week, and a
close friend of his.
Holiday occupied room II in the
Kelly block. About nine o'clock Mon
day evening he went to his room. On
his way he threw open the door of ST
Marks room, adjoining, and said to
Marks:
''Well, buried my best friend yes
terday, and to-day my next best friend,
Klatfki, failed. l guess it's about time
for me to 60. The world has no fur
ther use for me. Come on and let's die
together"
"Not with me-" said Marks, who is
not one of the suicide kind, and thought
Holiday was joshing, anyway. Holli-
day went to his room. The fire bell
rang just then, and Marks went out to
see where the fire was. When he re-
turned he went to Holidays room and
found him dead with bullet through
his brain.
