the witness stand at his trial In Besse--
mer, Mich, and in a reluctant manner
told the story of his life:
81 was twenty three years old the second OF
last month" he began. 81 was born in Ger
many. in the southernEpart, and my parents
still live there. All the schooling ever received
was in the old country. never attended school
in America. / came to the United States seven
years ago, and not having any trade | wenk 10.
work in my uncle's planning mill in Green Bay,
Wis. l worked there about two years, and them.
went to work on the Oconto River, where
stayed about three years. Becoming tired of
this life and desiring 81 change. 1 won't out West
1 stopped in Portland, Oregon, for o short
time, and then went up to the Puget Sound
country, where | worked in q mill about
five months. l spent about 81 month riding
around the country on horseback, and
was in the West about eight months altogether
then came back and went to work again on the
OcOntO River. and worked there about % year
and g. half" In answer to questions put by his,
attorney, Holzhay stated that while in Wash
ingtOn Territory he was injured by his horse
falling on him; that he laid unconscious for
some time afterward, and that while his health
previous to this accident had been good since
then it had been bad. He could not describe
just how it had affected him, but it affected his
whole system, and particularly his head
Ordinarily he felt quite good but these bad
spells would come over him, and would last,
probably day, sometimes more He said thak.
during these, spells he felt strange, but
could not describe the feeling. During:
such spells his actions and any incidents or.
occurrences taking place at such times were RlE
q blank afterward. Nearly all last winter was
spent in the woods working, but he caEno oat,
one time to DIR. Williams in Chieago.
About year and a half ago he went to sec
Dr. Palmer in Green Bay, who treated hinO for
nervous troubles. The spells came OF him
sometimes quite Unexpectedly, and he always
had to look out for himself, and at times he1e15
al irresistible impulse to do something bad or
desperate. He had several of these spells since,
his capture, and probably had q dozen or more,
since he was injured. Holzhay said he remem-
bered the day he was arrested and who arrested
him. He could not tell why he held up the.
stage He held it up and tat was all he knew
about it.
The following letter from the State
capital says:
A few years ago, when the State of Wisconsin
was considering the question of giving to the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Company the
great and valuable land grant lying in North
west Wisconsin, now the rich possession of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
Company agreement was made between the
Omaha and St. Paul Companies by which the
latter was not to contend for the grant seek.
to secure it in any manner, but, instead was to-
use its influence to have it granted to tfa9
Omaha Company. In consideration therefor
If the grant conferred upon the
Omaha Company the st. Paul Company
to receive one-fourth of the lands mp
plicable to building road, and @ right to run
over the road built by the Omaha Company
from Chippewa Falls to Superior, paying n
certain per cent. for the construction of the
same and for repairs on the basis of wheelage
After obtaining the grant from the Legislature,
the Omaha Company repudiated its bargain
with the st. Paul Company, which brought salt
about one year ago for a fulflment of that con-
tract. The Omaha Company take the position
among other things, that the contract is void
against public policy and cannot be enforced
and also that no legal valid consideration
was ever paid agreed to be paid for the be ne
fits or advantages which claimed. The PROP
erty. benefits and advantages involved aggre~-
gate about $25, coo in value. The Omaha
Company demurTed to the complaint IN the
lower court in Madison, when appeal to the
Supreme Court was taken. few days ago the
case was argued and then taken under advise
ment by the court 1t is of the most i'm
portant cases of the kind ever brought in Wis
