BREsETT's BREEZE.

1Il0t ne - dettt1a1 from the FOLtce OF C1t-
caao IN has Effort to Secure Bosteter.
The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday thus re-
lates the tribulations of Detective Bresett in
his efforts to bring back Bosteter, the st.
Paul forger:
The special detective of st. Paul, John @.
Bresett, is at present laboring under So
we're attack of dissatisfaction with the po-
lice and other criminal authorities of Chi
cago, who, according to his impression, are
not exactly reciprocating the courtesies
which they have received from the st. Paul
police authorities, especially in the case of
sSheeney George" In 1862 q man by the
name of NJ. g. Bosteter committed some
forgeries in st. Paul and fei the city. He
was subsequently heard of in Salt Lake
City, but it was not thought worth while to
probable he would ultimately drift eastward.
Not very long ago word came that he was in
Chicago, Detective Bresett had occasion to
go east of here to find man, and, while
passing through tie city, called on Deputy
Superintendent Dixon, whom he knew, and
told him that he wanted to turn UP for him
this man Bosteter, sometimes called Came
ron, sometimes "Big Sandy" sometimes
Cred Adams,' - who is by profession three
card-monte man and bunkoist, He gave
Dixon description and went his way.
| After while there came dispatch from
Dixon to the effect that they had his man 10.
Gated at the fremont house, and for Bresett
to get the necessary papers and come down
here for him. So the detective got his doc
uments at st. Paul, rushed down to Spring
field for his requisition,. which he secured,
and then came back here, was assigned al
| officer, and taken over to the fremont house
Arriving there, the man was pointed out t.
him, but Bresett at once saw that it was no
the one he wanted at all. A little irritate.
at this blunder, which had called him ava,
from his business and put him to some ex
pense, he set to work on his own account
ana went to George Hankins, showed him
picture, and Hankins said, ''Yes, I know tina
man. That is Cameron "Well," said Bre
sett, "Where does he ive?'' Said George
''You go down to my house, and look out Q
the back window, and you will look into hi
back yard" At tie same time Bresett ra
across one of the city force who knew th
man Bosteter intimately, and also kne'
where he lived. They started off down t
his house in search of him, but Hankins ha
apparently repented-had found out that b
had made mistake-and word went frol
him OF some one else to Bosteter to cles
out; SO he cleared, and Bresett went back
St. Paul dissatisfied.
Not long after that Bosteter cleaned on
or was sussected of having cleaned on
somebody at three-card monte down nea
Cleveland, and the officers came on he,
after him and run him in. Hearing that
was in Jail, Bresett came down from
Paul with his papers, and went over to Il
: jail TO see if he could get his man. He We
told the next day that Bosteter claimed tbs
he was not the forger, and that he (Breset
could not have him. He was also given
+ understand by the States attorney that al
. plication would be made to bail the prison
out, and that his bond would be fixed in ii
SUM of $1,000. Bresett also understoe
that Mike Mcdonald was going on the bon
: Not liking that exactly, he saw Mike Il
: day before election, and Michael promis'
Q not to do anything of the sort. Wednesda
9 however, he did go on Bosteter's bon
Friday the case was called in the crimin
: court, and Bosteter was not on hand, just {
: Bresett expected. The bail bond was
a clared forfeited, but Mcdonald has uni
+ the first day of the May term either to pr
: duce the money or the man. In the mea
q while the st. Paul detective, who has be-
d put to considerable expense, thinks he b
y not had much help from the police depa
ment, and, seeing his man slip out Of |
: sight under Mike McDonald's bail, is exc
' sively disgusted.
