! The description of the robber tallies
with that of the man who robbed Milwau-
kee 4 Northern train at Ellis Jun crion some
! weeks ago. In April and May of this year
the stage running between Amigo and
Shawano, Wis, was robbed repeatedly, the
| mail pouches being slit open and valuable
| packages OF registered mail taken Post
Office Inspector Pulsifer visited Shawano and
set government agents on the robbers trail
for these bold robberies were committed
by but one man, This was early in May, and
nOthinglnore was heard of the man till May
70, when passenger train OF the Milwaukee
& Northern railroad was entered at Pike by
person who began at the front OF the train
and ri1ed every passenger aboard, with the
aid of persuasive revolver The conductor
locked himself in the baggage car and the
highWayman sw ung from the rear coach just
as the train began slackening speed at Ellis
Junction. small settlement ten miles west
OF Marinette. He secured over So, 600 in
cash, valuable watches and jewelry.
The big rewards for his capture offele by
the Milwaukee & Northern railroad and by
the poshcfice department brought numerous
detectives to the district. It was quickly
learned that tbs higbwayman's name was
Reimund Holzheimer, and that he was well
known through the ptneries OF Northern Wis
consin and the border counties OF the upper
peninsula OF Michigan. His intimate ac-
| qua1ntance with the forest stood him in good
stead, and when heard of in one place he
would often appear on the following day at
point many miles dirtant.
He was also protected and secreted BY the
| lumbermen il many places. The lumber
men do not take kindly to To the representa-
tlves of the law, and rather like the oppor-
tunity of doing them bad turn. Holzheiner
is described as being five feet ten inches in
height, stoutly built, with light hair, yellow
| mustache and keen gray eyes. In his opera
ton he displayed great GOODNESS and cour-
age, holding up q stage or train single

ago, consisted in robb lng the store OF He

| light He walked in the store atnoon, when
the clerks were at dinner and the proprietor
alone, and told the proprietor to open his

Holzheimer disappeared in an alley way, and
was seen no more in Shawano for several
weeks.
