Bandit Holszay, Ion? the terror of tho northern Beotlons of Michigan and VVisconsin, now in jail at Be-ssemer, 8 twenty-five years oíd and by no means a desperatelooking fellow. The prisonor has confessed to aü nis crimes, and the othor day he made the tollovirlng statement to the otticers who captured him: "I did hold up the Milwaukee & Northern train. I don't jus', reinember tlie date. I got a haul o( about BO. I boarded the train at Maple Valley. I went through the train and spotted sucti mon as I thought would be likely to have money. I then wallted back and the first man I held up was tbe brakeman. I then held up a passenger and got J30 out of him. I also held up several oihür pass"ngors and got small amounts. I had to take what they gave and I could not search them, as I was playinR a lor.e hand. I also got a few watehes, but none that were of much valué. I did not have a sack to collect the boodle in. I held my gun in one hand and reie.ved the donations w th the other. I got off at Ellis Junction and took to the woods. I also held up the Wisconsin Central train. I think it was August 7 or 8. I only got asmall amount in cash. I got a few watches, two of wh.ch you have taken frora me. The black pocUet-book found on me was taken from a passerger on the Wisconsin Central tran. You will flnd a Ï200 note and a lot of cards, which I think g ve the passenger' s name. I have done several other 1 ttle jobs, but these don't concern you and will do no good to teil, as they d d not amount to much. I commenced business in this soction some time th:s spring." There is no further talk of lynching, and theexcitement over the capture has greatly abated.
