CHICAGO, July ALLAN Pinkerton,
the famous detective, died at $40 this
afternoon. He had been gradually sink
ing from the effects Of maarial fever,
contracted some weeks ago while on II
visit South. The doctors virtually
abandoned hope late last night. De
ceased was unconscious when he cX-
pired. He was born in 1919, at Glasgow,
Scotland, where his father was Il Ser
gcant of Police; was apprcnticcd to II
cooper, and twenty-five years ago OBJ
tanned prominence in the Chartist agita-
ton, in connection with which he was
forced to leave Great Britain. At Dun
dee, Illinois, Pinkerton established
II paying coopcragc business,
and later incidentally engaged
in amateur detective, work.
Success at the latter decided his future
career. The story of the establishment
of Pinkerton's Detective Agency, his
active assistance to the Abolition
movement, the prominent part he took
in the secret service during Lincoln's
administration, as well as his hair
breadth escapes and his wonderful sa-
gacity, are familiar to all.
