were who got past the officers. Ser

90 the one about year ago when /.
Camp Joy. which Bert Duprez was
charged with running. was raided. At
that time q man named Frank Senno, /
who is said to have charge Of leasing /
the property there, was arrested. He /
was later released on condition that
he would notify the authorities in case
he discovered any Of the tenants there
were selling liquor or otherwise oper-
ating in violation OF the law. 1t is un-
derstood that Senno gave the author
tiles such notice last week.
That a camp similar to old Camp /
Joy and near there was being con-
Quoted has been common knowledge in
Moline. Rock Island and East Moline
for two weeks or more.
