For thirteen months before his death
he was in the prison hospital but his
record in getting away from prison
made it almost impossible for the
prison authorities to allow him the
privileges usually accorded a sick con-
vict. Bruce was a small man. He
was a native of Missouri and was
known to the police ali over the west:
At Dallas, Tex, Bruce and pal
committed a daring diamond ROBBERY
some years ago. From jewelry-store
window the men sneaked $4,000
worth of diamonds. Bruce left Texas
and was later arrested in Omaha but
managed to escape. In 1888 Bruce was
arrested in company with ]. K. STRAIT
ton in Ohio. The men were charged
with having burglars tools in their
possession and were sent to the peni-
tentiary for one year Bruce became
famous as a thief and his picture was
put into our bankers album. This
album contains photographs of numer-
Gus thieves in regard to whom the
Pinkerton agency warns bankers.
In 1892 Bruce, in company with
Bob Curry, went to Canon City for the
purpose of getting Jim Stratton out OF
! the penitentiary. Stratton had been
sentenced to twenty years for rob
bing letter boxes. Curry, who was
recently arrested in Ohio, at that time
was unknown to criminal fame. He
was, in fact, employed at McVicker's
theater, Chicago. Stratton. and James
Boalen were arrested for looting mail
7 boxes, but Bruce had not been suspect
! ed in connection with the operations
until he made his trip to Colorado.
Bruce and Curry appeared at the
Canon City penitentiary with $1,000
in their pockets. Their scheme was
to bribe Harry E. Burlew, prison
guard, and in that way secure for
Stratton his freedom.
Burlew, who is now a Denver de-
tective, apparently fell in with the
/, plan of the crooks and took them
around the prison. He managed to

where they were arrested. Bruce
with his usual perseverance. escaped
from Jail and got away. Bruce was
not arrested for the mail-box rob-
berries, though the authorities now be-
lieve he was implicated with STRAIT
ton and his gang.
About three years ago Bruce was ar
rested in Terre Haute for cracking 9
safe and sent to the prison at Jeffer-
sonville for six years. When he was
placed behind the bars he Immediately
oegan to work on plans to escape
Pieces of twine and rope were found
In his cell from time to time and the
prison guards were instructed to keeI
constant lookout for him. II Is said
that in his desperate efforts to escape
he once threw rope over the prison
wall In the daytime and sought to Sc
cure his liberty in that way.

PRISONER AND SHERIFF DEAD.
David Douglas of Nevada City Killed in
Performance of His Duty.


Performance of His Duty.
The dead body of Sheriff David
Douglass and the corpse of an un-
known highwayman were found lying
a few feet apart in a wood two miles
from Nevada City, Colo, the other
day. There were five empty chambers
in the pistol of the sheriff, who had
been shot through the heart and in the
right eye and hand. The bullets of
the sheriff had gone through the rob-
ber's heart, abdomen and hip. The
unknown man had a rife, but it had
not been used. 1t is supposed Doug
lass was shot by an unseen and un-
known confederate of the highwayman.
A number of bold highway robberies
recently reported in the neighborhood
have all seemed to be the work of one
man, who stopped coaches and private
cCnveyances on the roads near Ne
vada City. The sheriff and his depu-
ties had been untiring in their efforts
to capture the highwayman. Finally
Sheriff Douglass, believing that large
squad of deputies served to put the
robber on his guard, determined to
attempt the chase single handed. He
started out accompanied only by his
dog. The dog returned at midnight
and at daybreak searching parties
tracked the sheriff to the spot where
officer and prisoner lay dead side by
side.

He prospered and became leader

has never attempted to rise above what
he believes to be his divinely ordained

that this. man is not q mulatto or a

but he has no desire to cut loose from

the best years of his life.
Many of the white ministers of his
denomination know the peculiar facts
of his case. and they treat him with
great consideration. Uncomplainingly
he leads his life of self-sacrifice, and his
only object seems to be the advance
ment of his adopted race. He married
q mulatto, and submits to all of the
laws and social distinctions which sep
arate the two races in the south.

A prominent firm OF American Jew
elers chatting under the Inconvenience
OF this old-world method of doing bus
mess, sought to introduce American
methods and see if the highest grade
of Swiss watches could not be made
more methodically. A factory was built,
enticing rates of wages We're offered
to the most skillful workman, and the
experiment was tried. But the Swiss
workman soon found that no regular
wages could pay him for his loss of
: liberty. To be on hand when the
whistle blew in the morning, to have
his stated hour for dinner and his
fXed hour for quitting at night-these
restrictions he could not long stand.
Formerly he had worked when he felt
like it, and stopped when it pleased
him, and when he was paid for one
job he took his time to begin the
next. generally waiting until his funds
