ALBERT GALLAHER IS DEAD
ONE OF THE DETAIL TO GUARD
Mckinley AT BUFFALO.
Mistaken for Assassin at Time Of the
Shooting and Beaten by the
Enraged Crowd.

CHICAGO, June 3O.-Albert Gallaher, for
many years in the secret service of the
United States and one of those detailed
as one of the personal bodyguard of the
late President Mckinley at the time of
McKinley's assassination. died here today.
1t was Gallaher who seized the wrist
Of the assassin Czolgosz after the fatal
shot was fired and wrenched the weapon
from the hand of the slayer. Gallaher
was at first mistaken by the crowd as
the assassin and was set upon and beaten.
To this fact, according to the attending
physicians. Gallaher's death was indirect
ly due An affection of the liver de-
veloped from injuries received at that
time
Gallaher was not regularly attached to
the staff Of guards following the Presi-
dent, but happened to be in Buffalo the
day President Mckinley gave his fatal
reception there and was sent to the
Temple of Music to augment the regular
staff OF secret service men.
When the fatal shot was fired at the
chief executive Gallaher rushed toward
the assassin and was one Of the first to
reach him. Showing the instincts Of
well-trained detective. he grabbed the arm
Of the assassin and snatched the revolver
and smoking handkerchief.
Just at that time some persons in the
crowd saw him with the gun. mistook
him for the assassin, and he was handled
roughly.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service when
shown the dispatch this afternoon. said
that 1t was the first news he had re-
ceived.
81 am very sorry to hear of it," he de-
clared. II knew Gallaher was sick.
About eight months ago he had a stroke
Of paralysis in st. Paul, and he has
never recovered. He was able to attend
to his duties, however, for a few months.
Recently however, liver complaint set
in. and he has been off duty since then"

quarters of the secret service in this city.
has been in the service since 1893. and
has worked chiefly in the northwest. He
had a wide acquaintance in that section.
1t was stated. and was connected with
many important cases. While working
with Thomas Porter at Chicago he ar
rested John Alfred Skoog, an international
counterfeiter. Skoog afterward escaped
from Joliet prison, went to New York
and killed himself as the officers were
about to recapture him.
