Dragoons. He served throughout the war, and while act- ing as a scout for the Union army he was wounded near Liberty, Miss. Two weeks after, when he was reported dead, he made his way into the Union lines. After the war he settled in Chicago, and was at once appointed spe- cial detective for the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railway. In 1882 he resigned to accept the position as a detective at the Central station. Subsequently he was promoted a Sergeant, and transferred to Cottage Grove avenue.
JOHN E. MAHONEY.
Desk-Sergeant John Eugene Mahoney, connected with the Central, was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1845. From the time he left home up to 1870 he followed the drug and other occupations in New Brunswick, Portland, Me., and Chicago, where he came in 1865. He was stationed in the old Armory first. In 1873 he was made Station-Keeper at Harrison street, and then became Station-Keeper at Cottage Grove avenue. He was thien made Desk-Sergeant at Twenty - second street station, again at Cottage Grove, and in February, 1884 he assumed his present position.
DEXTER CODMAN.
The good-natured Desk-Sergeant at the headquarters of the Central detail was born January 16, 1824, in Ontario, N. Y., and farmed until 1849. Prior to his arrival in Chicago, in 1852, Mr. Codman pursued various occupa- tions in the Central and Western States. He will be re- membered by old residents in Chicago as the agent for a line of boats plying between Chicago and St. Louis. In 1866 he joined the police force, and traveled first from the old Market street station, where he soon rose to the posi- tion of Station-Keeper. He was Bailiff at the County jail for a time, but was shortly assigned to the Armory. When Mayor Harrison was elected he assumed his present position.

MICHAEL BRENNAN.
The indefatigable clerk in the office of the Chief of Police was born Aug. 18, 1842, in Mayo, Ireland, and came to this country about eighteen years later. He went upon the force Dec. 15, 1870, as patrolman. He soon rose to the position of Desk-Sergeant at the old Dearborn street station, and served but a short time when he was appointed to his present position by Elmer Washburne in 1873. His onerous duties have always been performed with religious precision and uncomplainingly.
JOSEPH B. SHEPARD.
Joseph B. Shepard who for eleven years has done such valuable service in the clerical department of the office of the Chief of Police, was born Dec. 28, 1825, in Onondaga, N. Y. He came west in 1849, and was connected for years with railroad and mercantile enterprises.
R. H. FIGG.
Police Officer Figg, in charge of the Central station at night, was born in 1840, and while being connected with the department for a comparatively brief time has proven himself invaluable in the service. Bob is an old-time printer, and those who know him best allow that it was a cold day when the nimble compositor did not succeed in making a favorable impression. He is also a story-teller and beguiles many an hour for the boys on night duty He is very popular among the firemen and ran very often to fires in his early days, acting as captain at one time of Company 4, of the National Fire Department. He is credited with originating the order of Forresters in this section.
JAMES WILEY.
One of the most valuable detectives connected with the Central station, and one of the most respected men on the
215

force, is James Wiley. He is about thirty-eight years of age, is of Irish extraction, and of a very modest de- meanor. He was born in Syracuse, N. Y., in February, 1845. He has worked some of the hardest cases, and in doing so it is only fair to state that he has incurred very few enmities. He is the owner of very valuable farming land in Portage, Wis., and if he settles down he will probably locate in that section.
SAMUEL A. ELLIS.
Detective Ellis was born in London in 1834. The family coming to Chicago, Sam went to the Wilder school at the age of five. At fourteen he commenced sail- ing on the lakes, and at the age of eighteen was Captain of the schooner, Mary Margaret. In 1856 he joined the police force at North Market station. In 1860 he was de- tailed at the Chicago and Milwaukee depot, and in 1863 he became First Lieutenant of company C, Eighty-ninth Illinois, and was wounded at the Battle of Stone River. Returning to Chicago, he joined the detective force, and in 1873 Elmer Washburne made him chief of the staff. In 1874 he was promoted to a captaincy in the West Division. In 1877, resigning, he was appointed Deputy Sheriff under John Hoffman. In 1881 he was again placed on the detective force, but was soon transferred to the West Madison street station as a Desk-Sergeant. On May 12, 1884, he was brought back to the Central station.
MICHAEL J. GRANGER.
Detective Granger was born in Chicago in 1852, and commenced life as a messenger boy for the Chicago & Alton Railroad. From this time up to his appointment on the police force in 1881. He followed various occupa- tions. He first was a patrolman at Harrison street station, and in June, 1883, was appointed detective.

JOHN EGAN.
Detective Egan was born in Brachnaight, Roscommon, Ireland, in 1850, and came to New York in 1862. At the age of fourteen he joined the Third Virginia Cavalry and served with it until the close of the war. He was wounded three times and rose to Captain, and only three of his com- rades in his company are alive today. In 1877 he was appointed inspector by the city which was the only public position he held up to 1883, when he was appointed de- tective. Mr. Egan has been interested in pork packing for several years.
JOHN REED.
Detective John Reed, the intrepid captor of the Italian Peri who stabbed to their death two citizens named Ready and O'Brien at the time of the great fire at the corner of Halsted and VanBuren streets, and who killed the notori- ous Bill Allen who made it so hot for the whole police force for so long, was born in the county of Meath, Ire- land - within four miles of Drogheda in 1839. When he was ten years of age his family went to Dublin, and John drove a livery wagon as soon as he was able. He was a member of the Metropolitan Police in 1860, when with other Irish Catholics he went to the rescue of the Holy See in its dilemma. He fought at Spoletto, and was taken . prisoner at Ancona. Returning to Dublin he worked as a railroad porter. In 1862 he came to Chicago, and after farming for three months was appointed a guardsman at Joliet. He subsequently enlisted in the Eleventh Illinois, and served to the close of the war, fighting at the Wilder- ness, Jackson, Mobile and elsewhere. Again he went to Dublin to figure this time as a rollicking driver of a fes- tive jaunting car for seven months and the number of his hackney-car was 812. Coming back to Chicago he went

upon the police force, and from that day to this his record has been that of not only a conscientious officer but of a humane citizen. He was wounded at the Haymarket.
EDWARD COSGROVE.
Edward Cosgrove, the "silver-haired detective," was born in Clonegal, County Carlow, Ireland, August, 1847. He attended the Parish School and subsequently the Tul- low Monastery. At the age of 16 he left school and at the age of 19 he came to Chicago. He first was employed in the grocery trade. For eight years he worked as an Assistant Inspector for the House of Correction, where he distinguished himself for his humanity in the treatment of the unfortunate inmates. He was on duty at the time, in 1879, when fifteen prisoners made a most desperate but unsuccessful attempt to escape. He then went to the Grand Pacific Hotel, where he served for six months as a private detective. On Feb. 1, 1883, he joined the Chicago detective force.
JOHN STIFT.
John Stift was born Sept. 5, 1847, in the city of Ha- vre, in France, but is of German extraction. He is one of sixteen children, twelve of whom yet live, and he is the oldest of the tribe. In 1848 the family came to the city of New York. In 1850 they removed to Chicago and have lived here since. John attended St. Michael's school, cor- ner of North ave. and Church street, in the North Division, four years. From 1863 until 1872, when he joined the police force, he was employed as a teamster for his father. His first police experience was at the East Chicago avenue police station, under Capt. Gund. While serving under Capt. Hathaway he was promoted to the rank of detective and transferred to the Central police station, where he now is. Mr. Stift is recognized in the department as a very effi- cient officer, and commands the respect of his superiors.

MICHAEL GALLAGHER.
Detective Gallagher was born in 1832, in the County Fermanaugh, Ireland, and at the age of 11 came to Phil- adelphia. In January 6, 1846, he went on board the ship Tuscarora, and encountered for many years thereafter per- ils of the sea. His recollections of those days are very in- teresting when told by himself, as Gallagher is a capital story-teller. He went on the police force in 1866.
WILLIAM H. CARMAN.
The associate of Mr. Shepard, William H. Carman, was born December 9, 1838, in New Brunswick, N. J., has been connected with the Chicago Police Department since 1860, and has served under every Superintendent since the days of C. P. Bradley. He was patrolman, Sta- tion-Keeper, Clerk, and Custodian successively, and was the first treasurer of the Police Association organized in Jan- uary, 1868.
DENNIS SIMMONS.
Dennis Simmons is one of the oldest and shrewdest de- tectives on the Chicago police force. He has been con- nected with the Police Department for nearly twenty-five years, during which time he has served eighteen years on the detective department. He has had many hair-breadth escapes, and numerous encounters with desperate criminals, but fortune has favored him, not having received a scratch, although many a bullet has passed his way.
Mr. Simmons was born in Queens county, Ireland, Au- gust 27, 1833. His parents emigrated to this country when he was quite young, and located in New London, Connecticut. When eleven years of age he went on board of a whale ship, and was constantly on the water for nine- teen months. In 1844 his parents came to Chicago, but our subject soon again resumed a sailor's life, sailing both

on the lakes and on the salt water. At the age of twenty- one he went into a ship yard. Subsequently he entered the Sheriff's office, under Wilson, and remained in the em- ploy of the county under Grey and Hesing. March 7, 1861, he joined the police force, and since that time his career has been an eventful one.
W. S. HALLORAN.
William S. Halloran was born in New Haven, Conn., in 1851. In 1866 the family removed to Chicago. In 1871 Mr. Halloran, impelled by a spirit of adventure, went to Kansas, where he transacted a most flourishing cattle trade. In his leisure hours. he recounts many amusing incidents in his experience as a drover. Returning from the West in 1877, he engaged in the wine and liquor traf- fic, and in 1882 joined the police force. Since joining the department he has done some very good work, gaining for himself the reputation of being a good officer.
DENNIS KAY.

In 1855 the family removed to Chicago, and in St. John's school in this city Mr. Kay obtained his education Shortly after leaving school, he learned the business of carpentry; but tiring of this, he entered the hardware establishment of R. R. Day. In 1879 he joined the police force. His experience on patrol duty soon qualified him for advancement to the detective department in 1882, and in this capacity he now serves.
REINHOLD MEYER.

JOHN O'DONNELL.
The custodian of stolen property was born in Peter- borough, Canada, in 1848, and belongs to a family of un- usual vitality as well as fertility. His aged father, an old and much respected resident of the west division has ten children left, after burying two, and would not be a bit thankful to anybody to-day who would intimate that he had seen his best days. The family removed to Rochester, N. Y., when John was but an infant, but soon returned to Peterborough, where the old gentleman became a purchas- ing agent for all sorts of commodities. At the age of sev- enteen our subject accompanied a gentleman to the vicin- ity of Rochester with a view to learning carriage black- smithing, but soon decided to try his luck in Chicago where his family had settled already. After some experi- ence in the grocery business he concluded to become a molder, when he entered the service of Collins & Burgie. He was working for this firm when upon Mayor Harrison's first election he was appointed to his present position. John, who always took a deep interest in politics, first nominated W. C. Seipp for County Treasurer, by the way and is one of the cleverest fellows in Chicago or anywhere else. His brothers, Michael, Edward and William, are well-known and respected citizens.
FRANCIS O'NEILL.
At the Central station one of the most valuable of the staff of the Police Superintendent is Frank O'Neill, who was born Aug. 25, 1848, on a farm within three miles of Bantry Bay, Cork, Ireland. Leaving the National School, where he made rapid progress, he sailed with Captain Wat- kins on the Black sea, the Mediterranean, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and visited many places. In 1865 he came to America. The sea had irrestible charms for liim. His first trip was to the West Indies. When eighteen, he

sailed on the Minnehaha for Yokohama, Japan, via the Cape of Good Hope, and, after seven continuous months on sea, set sail for the Sandwich Islands, and when nearing Baker's Island in the mid Pacific was wrecked. The brig Zoe occupied thirty-four days bringing the crew to Honolulu, whence our subject was sent to San Francisco. He was next found tending a flock of 2,700 sheep in Stan- islaus. Having rounded Cape Horn he arrived in New York, after a circumnavigation of the globe before he was twenty. In Chicago lie first worked in the Chicago, Al- ton and St. Louis freight house. In 1873 he went upon the police force and was shot in the left shoulder by a burglar. In 1878 he was made a Desk-Sergeant at Deering street station, and in 1884 he was made Clerk of Records at police headquarters. He is a magnificent peninan.
JOHN J. KELLY.
The subject of this sketch was born in New Orleans, May 10, 1844, and was first employed at cotton-sampling. With Engineer Edwards he organized a company of 3,500 men for the Matanzas Railway, and was in Cuba in 1868, where the plague so decimated the force that only three survivors returned to Chicago. In this city he at once became prominent as a contractor ; cooperating with such men as John Duffey and David Hallinan. He was the first President of the Sarsfield circle during the Fenian agitation, and is otherwise prominent in Irish matters. He is bailiff of the police court on Desplaines street.
TIERNEY AND THORPE.
Detectives Patrick B. Tierney and William B. Thorpe in their special line constituted one of the most successful teams in the country. Naturally quiet and unobtrusive, except when absolutely necessary, they were necessarily very popular officers.
Mr. Tierney was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1853,

and came to America when sixteen years old, and became a carpenter. In June, 1875, he went on the police force, and was assigned to duty at West Madison street station. He traveled beat for four years and was then detailed on special duty in citizens clothes. He and Sergeant Nick Shannon, a most worthy officer, made the first police telephone box, which was located at the corner of Twelfth and Halstead streets. Mr. Thorpe was born in Canada, and is thirty-nine years old. Hc has been twelve years on the police force. A long list of splendid arrests is found to their credit at police headquarters.
