FAMILY ROW.“Mother” Hickey on South Eleventh Street Raises “Cain”Tuesday evening an old lady residing on the corner of Eleventh street and the E. T. H. R. R, who is about seventy years of age and known as “Mother” Hickey, made things lively in her immediate neighborhood. She commenced her hostilities by seizs-ing a chair and proceeding to break all the furniture in the house and afterward knocked out the winnow lights. She subsequently made a vicious attack upon her son-in-law, John Fisher, who was lying in bed. After receiving two or three powerful blows from his irate mother-in-law he sobered up enough to re3ent her attacks and it is the general impression that the old woman came out of the fracas second best in-as-much as she was completely covered with blood. While the parties were in the midst of the battle the neighbors looked on with awe and were unable to stop their hostilities. The patrol wagon was telephoned for but when it arrived upon the scene of action Fisher was no where to be found and, the old womanbeing too far advanced in years for caging, no arrests were made.
