Let go that man, or Ill Snoot, was
his warning to BLACK Bart" on his re-
turn.
Shoot away If you want" Holzhey
replied But he wheeled the helpless
guard between himself and the muzzle
of the warden's gun.
For two hours Holzhey held his cap
tive. Then Tompkins, taking a des-
perate chance, fired. The ball went
through Holzhey's knife hand, shatter-
ing four fingers so that they had to be
amputated. The exhausted guard was
dragged from the cell.
AS the months went by and Holzhey
remained sullen and intractable, they
began to think that something was
wrong with him physically. An exam
ination showed that he was insane.
They sent him to the asylum for the
criminal insane at Ionia, where he re.
mained a year. There he was operat-
ed on, and a bone that had been press
ing on his brain was lifted.
BLACK Bart" went back to Marquette
prison a changed man. His fierce
mood had vanished. He was cheerful
and obedient. He became the most
trusted man in the prison.
Holzhey was put in charge OF the
prison library. He became interested
in books of travel and works on phil
osophy, and finally he began the study
of French, which he can now read and
write. He Is familiar with the history
and politics of every civilized nation.
To illustrate the breadth Of Hol-
zhey's reading and his understanding
Of current affairs, he wanted to invest
in copper stocks about year ago. He
had $500 saved in the years he had
been in prison. Warden James Russell
assented to his buying stocks, as it was
his money. When the warden asked
him what shares he thought of buying
he was surprised at the bandits
knowledge of the copper situation.

Army Is Weakened on
Eve of Yale Contest

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 21.-The
cadets put on the finishing touches foe
the Yale game today with a long sig
nal drill and the practicing of goal
kicking by Dean and Keyes. Every
effort was made to drain the field,
and while still quite wet it has i'm
proved considerable.
In the practice yesterday Littlejohn
injured an old sprain, and It has proved
more serious than at first was thought.
He found 1t necessary to 60 to the hos
pital, and he will be unable to play
In the Yale game today. Weyand. a
plebe, who has been doing some good
work at tackle, was selected to fill
Littlejohns place.
It has finally been decided to start
Sibert at center instead Of Walmsley.
Sibert lacks the weight of Walmsley
but his passing is considered more re-
liable.
The lineup, given out last night as
the one to face Yale is:
Gillespie, left end; Devore,i left tackle
Arnold, left guard; Sibert, center; Hus.
ton, left guard; Weyand. right tackle
Hoge, right end, Captain Hyatt, quar-
terback; BrownI left halfback; Bene.
