There can be no doubt OF the fact that
the Improvement In Holzhey's moral nature
has been great. Apssibly the reformation
may be complete. Whatever may be the
degree of advancement 1t unquestionabiy
is due, more than to all other influences

YOUTHFUL DESPERATE.
After his capture many of the leading
facts of the life OF BLACK Bart" became
known. some of them by his own admis-
sions and statements. Probably the most
startling fact of all is that man with
such a record was only twenty-three years
Of age at the time of his conviction. HIS
name is Raymond Holzhey. He was born
in Germany. where his parents still re-
sided at the time OF the trial He came
TO the United States when he was eight
wears of age. When old enough to WORK
he was employed about sawmills and In

THE EVIL WAYS CONTINUE.

The circumstances which at this late

trnnrisonment revive interest In Holzney
and classify his case as one OF the most

that he has apparently become go COM
