MARQUETTE, Mich, Aug. 31.-(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 &
Northern railroad near Ellis Junction,
Wis, and levied tribute on a score or
% g.
later rode up to a store in small coun-
try settlement and at the muzzle of a re-
volver compelled the pro prietor to CON
tribute the contents of his safe, and still
later held up train on the Wisconsin
Central R'y. Holzhay was brought 20
this city at p. N. today and incarcer-
ated in the county Jail. To an associated
press reporter he said he had made for
the thick woods Immediately 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 train
and rode to Cham pion, the northern ter
minus of the Milwaukee Il North
eru. Republic lies ten miles south
of Champion, and to that point
Holzhay Immediately made his way
house for lodging and was assigned to a
room. 1t was about 6 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon when he arrived there. He
ate supper and an hour later he was
shown to his room. The landlord OBJ
served striking harmony with the de-
scription of the Gogebic stage robber,
and Informed the village marshal who
also had been also notified by E. E.
ac he
had met the man OF the street. The
marshal notified Deputy Sheriff John
Glade and together they went to the
hotel. Finding the landlord already
suspicious their own suspicious were
confirmed but they did not disturb the
stranger in his room. They were GER
tain he was we'll armed and would shoot
if disturbed. 1t was therefore consi 1ered
best to wait until morning and the plan
of capture was quickly determined upon.
Holzhay arose at O'Clock, ate q 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 his shoulder he
started off intending to make
for the Wisconsin lumber camps.
OluCcIS OlOdu6 duA we WSIS awaiting
his appearadce 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
ton and paying no attention to the stran-
ger at all. When they came near they
parted to allow Holiday 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 the
pavement, Hoizhay struggled and tried
to reach his hip pocket, nearly succeed
ing in doing SO. At that moment Po
liceman Whalen came up and with his
stick gave the PROSTATE man rap Cd the
head which quoted him, and he made no
further resistance. Handouts were then
applied and the terror of northern Wis
consin and Michigan was secured in the
hands of the law.
