She and Her Husband Accused
of Maliciously Causing an
Arrest.
FANNIE HOLIDAYS PLANT.
Wants Heavy Damages for Having
Spent Several Days in a
Prison Cell.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 3.-Attired
in deep mourning, daughter of the late
Hon. Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, Mrs. M.
2. T. Holiday, and her husband, Edward
T. Holiday, known as "Bug" Holiday in
baseball and sporting circles, sat side by
side in Judge York's courtroom this morn
ing, as defendants in S25, 600 damage suit
brought against them by Mrs. Fannie l..
Holiday.
The plaintiff is slender woman, and
did not look with an amiable glance at her
relatives.
The occurrence which led to this suit
took place last August, when the arrest of
the young woman was caused by Mr.. aad
Mrs. Edward Holiday, She cla ms her
arrest was malicious and not justified by
the facts.
For some reason, which will no doubt
materialize during the trial, the wife and
the distant relative of the same name.were
bad friends, and their feelings eliminated
in a series of pyrotechnical word battles
which upset the nerves of the ex-base-
ballist and his wife.
They told the District Attorney that
Mrs. Fannie Holiday had threatened to
burn their furniture and kill them, and
upon their representations complaint
was filed in Justice Yonng's court. Mrs.
Fannie L. Holiday was arrested and kept
in jail for eight days, when she obtained
her release from captivity through the
habeas corpus route.
The Holidays were still afraid that
their relative would shoot, stab or kill
them: and Immediately had her arrested
again The uounu w0man was liant in
custody for three hours under this COM
plant, when she was released upon
motion of the District Attorney.
In their answer Mr.. and Mrs. Holiday
admit the arrest, but claim that they were
justified in the course they pursued, and
that although Mrs. Fannie Holiday was
released, it was not done until her, attor-
neys had promised the attorneys on the
other side that she would not attempt to
carry out the threats that she had made.

A Branch Likely to Be Extended From

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Feb. 3.-After
months of planning and surveying, work
is to be commenced in earnest upon the
Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic
Railroad. The California Construction
Company has secured the contract to do
the grading, and large force OF men will
be put at work on Wednesday. A great
many laborers are flocking here in the
hope of securing work, but the construc-
tion company has already employed the
necessary number of men.
1t has been decided to build the power
house on the Cushing tract just above
Eastland station, and contracts are soon
to be let for the necessary machinery and
electrical appliances for generating power.
at meeting of the stockholders held on
Saturday. Sidney B. Cushing was elected
president of the road David Mckay, vice.
president; Louis L. James, secretary, and
the First National Bank of San Francisco
treasurer.
Louis r. James, the newly elected Sec
retary, said to-day that the graders would
be put at work Wednesday. The location
party has been out number of days and
is rapidly pushing its part OF the work.
1t Is hoped that the road will be in run
ming order in time for the large summer
travel.
While the projectors of the enterprise
will say little about the extending of the
road to BoIinas it is generally believed that
they will do this as soon as the road is in
running order from Mill Valley to the
summit of Tamalpais. The cost of con-
structing the road from the top of the
mountain to Bolinas is estimated to be
about $4,000.
LIE Roy G. Harvey has for a number of
years been attempting to interest moneyed
men in the scheme of building a railroad
to Bolinas, and his estimates have reached
past the million mark, while branch Of
the electric road will cost but little over
$l00, 900 TO construct.
Bolinas has one of the finest beaches on
the coast and is now town OF consider
able size, considering the fact that its only
ommunication with the outside world is
by stage coach. If the mountain road is
constructed to Bollnas, one OF the finest
parts of Marin County will be opened up.
The terminus of the road will be East
land station. The idea of purchasing the
O'Shaughnessy tract near Eastland sta.
ton and building large depot has been
given up.
