Luce has pardoned Joseph Mulligan, who
has served four-years sentence in jack
SON Prison, having been convicted of ON
assault with intent TO kill. He was sent
up from Mason County, where he bore a
good reputation. On account of his
general good character; because he had
sick and helpless wife, who, during oil
her husbands Imprisonment, has strug-
gled on against poverty TO keep her
children together; because the prosecut-
ing attorney of the county in which he
was convicted, who also was the one who
prosecuted him, appealed in his behalf;
and also because the Judge by whom he
was sentenced, and many influential citi-
zens all pleaded for his release, the
Governor has extended this clemency.
"A letter from Republic, Mich, gives
the following particulars of the capture
of Black Bart, the daring highwayman
who has terrorized Northern Michigan
and Wisconsin since early last spring:
The robbers real name is Reimund Hol0hay.
He came to Republic and put up at the Repub-
lie House. His appearance tailed exactly with
that of the robber and ne was at once spotted
and kept under surveillance. He slept, until
o'clock the following morning, when he came
down and ate hearty breakfast. He appeared
very much fatigued in spite OF his rest, and
walked with n slight limp. His shoes were
badly damaged by his long tramp In the woods,
and his clothing gave undoubted proof of the
hardships he had recently undergone. His
manner at the table was like that Of man who
had not had a square meal for n month
While eating he kept his eyes constantly on
the door, and the walters remarked that he
seemed to be in great hurry to eat all he
could and get away without loss of time Land

Knowing the desperate man he dealing
With, the Marshal carried a billy In his right
hand. Throwing his left arm around H5lzhay's
neck, Glode exclaimed "You are my prisoner"
Holzhay had looked back several times while he
was being followed, and when he felt the Mar
shal's arm on his neck reached for a revolver,
three of which weapons were In his hip pock-
cts. Glode was too quick for him, however, and
brought tho billy down on his head with terrific
force, and ke fell to the ground like a hog and
remained senseless until the Jail was reached,
Upon searching the prisoner the jail authori-
ties found three gold watches, three revolvers,
half dozen pocketbooks, and u number of
other articles obtained in the recent robberies.
One Of the pocketbooks was marked with the
robbers own name, and another was that of
Fleischbein, who was killed in the Lake Goge-
bic stage robbery. Holzhay had not even taken
tho precautton to throw away Fleishbein's
papers, TO prevent identification. One of the
watches was also taken from the murdered
man.

of his guilt Holzhay finally confessed that he
robbed the Milwaukee and Northern train at

MED that he had committed any other crimes.
