He Will Make One Against Mr..
Bosqui
'AlD TO HIM BIG MONEY
At Least That Is What MIR. Bauer's At.
torney Will Claim
Constable Johnston Denies That He Was Ever
In the Employ of the Ministerial
Union

Ex.Police Detective Bosqui, better known
as the "Little Chief,' can no longer play in
Theodore Bauer's backyard. Bosqui has
been rooming down in Little Paree. Bauer's
attorney yesterday prepared papers on be-
half of Mrs. Bauer, directing the 'Little
Chief" to remove, bag and baggage, from
the Bauer backyard. If he declines to do
so Bauer will commence proceedings in
ejectment.
Bauer will in the course of day or so
file an answer to Bosaui's suit for $500.
The answer will be rare and racy reading.
The eminent barrister, j. Marion Brooks,
ia now engaged in preparing it and it will
be of interest to number of politicians at
the city hall, as we'll as to numer-
GUS people around and in the proximity of
the police station.
Bauer in his answer, so Attorney Brooks
states, will put IN counter claim for over
$1,000 moneys advanced to Bosqui, for
which no service had been rendered and
for which, as Bauer has informed Brooks.
Bosqui's receipt was given.
This counter claim will have the effect of
taking Mr.. Bosqui's suit out OF the justice
court and advancing it to the superior
court, as then over $500 will be involved.
This fact places the cause beyond the
Mr.. Bauer's counter claim against eX-
Police Detective Bosqui, if ever filed, will
be the sensation of the hour. The inquiry
will go up from all sides, "What great pull
did the Little Chief have that he could Sc
cure from Bauer the large sums that Bauer
hos told his attorney he paid him?"
Mr.. Bauer, when placed upon the stand,
will probably be able to tell exactly why he
paid Bosqu the alleged sums and what for.
Anyway, Mr.. Bauer seems to have found
out that whatever pull Bosqui did have was
not worth the money he paid for it.
Long after the ex-detectve was removed
from the force he continued to make his
headquarters at the police station and to
sleep in one of the upstairs rooms. Final
ly he secured lodgings elsewhere, and now
Mr.. Bauer has called upon him to release
his lodgings in "Little Paree."
Bauer yesterday secured bond and the
attachment ON his srestaurantwas released.
The restaurant was not closed up, but it
ran all Monday night with constable's
keeper on deck.
Constable Harry Johnston states that he
deputized Bosqui but never paid him any
salary. To his knowledge the constable
says that the eX-detective received no sal
ary from anybody.
Constable Johnston denies that he was in
the employ of the Ministerial union when
he commenced his crusade against tho
houses of ill-repute and the property own
ers who leased their holdings for that pur-
pose last spring. The constable says that
the Little Chief'' assisted him in making
that crusade, but adds that he did SO be-
cause of friendship and not for financial
gain. Johnston says that to his knowledge
Bosqui received no pay for what he did
then. If Mr.. Bosqui did get no compensa-
ton for his earnest service in the war Con-
stable Johnston waged against the social
evil it is the first time on record when he
labored long and devotedly for love of the
great work itself. If he labored with Con-
stable Johnston for nothing in order
to assist that worthy officer in eliminating
the sinful places in this great city and only
to help in great work, he placed himself
in position most inconsistent with these
facts when he later entered the employ OF
Bauer to assist in herding the fallen women
and to compel them to lease only certain
rooms to ply their illicit business. How
ever, the ''little chief" probably knew what
he was doing and why he was doing it, for
he is very shrewd, and, to use the language
OF the street, he Twas always next" at po-
lice headquarters.
The chief of police has as yet made no
statement as to what his relations with
Bosqui have been in the past, nor will he
do SO until the proper time arrives.
Speaking of police matters, there is a
young man in the city who has q grievance.
He claims that he wanted place on the
force. This was some time ago. A broker
came to him and agreed to get him fixed
for the sum of $l00 cash in hand. The
broker was an Eighth ward citizen, who
handles the tough district in good shape.
Anyway, the young man paid the 500
and got the position on the force. He was
allowed to stay there just long enough TO
earn the 500, and then he was removed.
This story is vouched for and is in all
probability true. There are others afloat
Things are developing from day to day
