MARQUETTE, Mich, Aug. 3l.-(By Asso
ciated Press. There is no donbt what
ever that Holzhay is the same man who
startled the entire northwest about two
months ago by going single banded
through the train on the Milwaukee g.
Northern railroad neat Ellis Junction,
Wis, and levied tribute on score or
more of passengers. That a few weeks
later rode up to a store in a smail coun-
try settlement and at the TuzEle Of a re
volver compelled the proprietor TO con
tribute the contents of his safe, and still
later held Up train on the Wisconsin
Central R'y. Holiday was brought to
this city AZ 2 p. m, today and incarcer-
ated in the county Jail. To an associated
press reporter he said he had made for
the thick woods imme diately after the
stage robbery. He pushed rapidly east
ward and struck the Duluth, South Shore
d. Atlantic railway about fifty miles east
of Nestoria. There he boarded a train
and rode to Cham pion, the northern ter.
minus of the Milwaukee d North
ern. Republic lies ten miles south
of Champion, and to that point
Holzhay Immediately made his way
afoot. He applied at the Republican
house for lodging and was assigned to
room. It wes about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon Tnen he arrived there. He
ate supper ana an hour later he was
shown to his room. The landlord OBJ
served a striking harmony with the de-
scription of the Gogebic stage robber,
and informed the village marshal who
also had been also notified by f. Il.
Wiser, justice of the peace. Weiser
had met the man on the street. The
marshal notified Deputy Sheriff John
Glade and together they vent to the
hotel. Finding the landlord already
sus picious their own suspicious were
confirmed bus they did not disturb the
stranger 10 his room. They were Ger
~,
il disturbed. Ii was therefore oonsi jered
best to wait until morning and the plan
of capture was quickly determined upon.
H1lzhey arose at O'Clock, ate light
breakfast and paid his bill. He had
checkered quilt rolled up and bound with
a small rope. In this impoverished grip
ne carried change OF clothing. Sling
ing the bundle over mis- shoulder he
started off intending to make
for the Wisconsin lumber camps.
Officers GlOade and Weiser were awaiting
his sppearadce on the street. They were
dressed in citizens clothing 10 avoid
arousing suspicion. As Hoizhay ap-
preached them they walked toward him
apparently engaged in earnest converse
tion and paying no attention to the stran
ger at all. When they came near they
parted TO allow Holzhay to pass between
them. No sooner were they abreast than
the officers seized their man, one at each
arm and shoulder and threw him to he
pavement, Hozhay struggled and tried
TO reach mis- hip pocket, nearly succeed
ing in doing so. At that moment Pc
licemen Whalen came up and with his
sti, gave the PROSTATE man rap on the
head which quoted him, and he made no
further resistance. IL Sndcuffs were then
applied and the terror of northern Wis
consin and Michigan was secured in the
hands of the law.
