A Great Detective.
A MAN WHOSE NAME Is KNOWN
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
An Important Matter That Ought to Be
Known And Understood. What He
Has to Say About 1t in His Usual
Enthusiastic Way

A man well known all over the world
and whose name is a terror to criminals
and evil doors every " here, is Robert Bruce
head and general superintendent of the
great Bruce's American Detective Agency
which has its headquarters at l2S La Sale
St., Chicago.
Mr.. Bruce is great worker; nothing
escapes his keen and active mind, and like
most men who are enterprising and tire
less in their business, he has overworked
his brain, and kept his nerves upon such
a strain and tension that nervous difficult
ties resulted. In fact, he felt that relaxed,
weakened and enervated condition OF
mind and body which results in insomnia
that sleepless, restless, wakeful and dis
turbed condition which, unless arrested,
so surely results in dire disaster to mind,
brain and body.
In chatting with the great detective,
your reporter saw at a glance that it was
no invalid with whom lac was talk
ing. His bright eyes, fresh complexion
and energetic manner showed at once that
he was again in the best of health. Nat
uraliy the change in his condition became
the subject of conversation.

years, " he said, but three bottles of DR..

FORFEITED HIS BOND.

"We take the following article from
the Courier-Journal of Wednesday.
Both A. T. Mitchell and r. A. Mitch
ell are well-known in this section:
Fulton, KY, May GA. T. Mitchell
formerly cashier of the defunct Fulton
Bank at this place, and who was in
dicted for perjury at the last term of
the Circuit Court, at Hickman, has
forfeited his bond of $1,000. His case
was called up yesterday at the May
term of the Circuit Court, in session
at Hickman, but he failed to appear.
When the directors were compelled to
close the doors of the bank Mitchell
went to bed and declared that he was
i'll, but as soon as he could get well
enough to walk he would show them
that the bank was in solvent condi-
ton.
THE angry depositors thought the
law too slow for them, and several
talked openly of lynching Mitchell,
but he had so completely deceived the
majority of the people, who thought
that perhaps he might be innocent,
that nothing was done to him. So
confident were the bank directors of
MitchelPs honesty and the solvency of
their bank that they drew up and
published paper stating that they
would be personally responsible for
every deposit placed in the bank.
"After the bank closed its doors
Mitchell and his cousin, Dick Mitchell
who is also under bond for his
appearance at court to answer to a
charge of perjury, proposed to the d.
rectors that they would take charge of
the bank and pay off the depositors if
the stockholders would agree to sur
render their stock. Mitchell now had
the stockholders right where he want
ed them, for had they not agreed to
his terms il would have ruined them
all to have paid off the deposits when
they had only about 5000 and a lot {
worthless paper ON hand to do it witt
while Mitchell had an overdrawI
personal account of $4,000.
'The bank was turned over to Mitch
ell and his "Cousin Dick" as he was
Familiarity called, they agreeing to pay
every cent in two years. The time is
now up, and very little has been paid,
Mitchell would perhaps have pulled
through without a scratch, had he
only reformed after he broke the bank,
but he got into court and swore to so
many lies that at the last term of the
court he was tried and given one year
in the penitentiary for perjury, but
his attorney discovered flaw, and he
was granted new trial and placed
under a $1,000 bond. The Hon. I'll.
a. Iyler, OF Nashville, was his bonds
man.
Mitchell came here from upper
Kentucky few years ago, and was
given the position of cashier of the
Fulton Bank. He made friends rap
idly, and soon became the most popu-
lar man in town. This is not the first
bank he has wrecked, having repeated
the same thing at North Middletown,
KY"

community all his life. He has been
