SHERIFF RAIDS
BUCKLEY CAMP
ON ROCK RIVER
Place Four Under Arrest With Sel-
ing Liquor in Less Than Five
Gallon Lots.

Phil Schwab and George Buckley,
proprietors of a place near Rock
! River about three miles east of the
Moline bridge, at which it is alleged
whisky and beer were being sold by
the drink in violation of the state
law, making it unlawful to sell
liquor in less than five-gallon lots,
were arrested by Sheriff John
Miller and Deputies Hanna, Gold
man and Truxell, and Detective
Henry Lebber of the Moline police
department, last night about $3.50
O'Clock. The pair was arraigned
before Judge N. A Larson in coun-
ty court at IL O'Clock and let out
under bonds of 81 900 each. Two
said to be bartenders, Herman
WetZel and James Buckley were
permitted to stay at the camp and
close it up under orders to report
today in county court
Acting on information furnished
him to the effect that the Schwab-
Buckley camp was catering in
cabaret fashion, the sheriff and his
deputies invaded the premises at
an hour when about 200 customers,
men and women, were at the place,
most of them seated at tables in the
open An electric piano was work
ing overtime 1t is claimed the
whisky and beer were being sold at
so much per drink. The camp had
been in operation only a few days,
it is said.
The advent of the officers on the
scene created a small amount of ex-
element among the patrons seek
ing relief from the sitting atmos-
phere of the cities. The officers had
come after the owners and en-
ployes only, though, and upon be-
ing treasured the customers took
hastily to their machines, of which
there were about 25 or 80 parked
nearby. All types of cars from the
cheapest to the most costly were
represented, showing that the place
drew from all classe.
Sheriff Miller gave ordrs that the
camp was to be closed and not be
opened again. In a statement this
morning the sheriff said that he
will appreciate and act upon infor-
nation and evidence placed in his
hands as to the operation of any
similar camps in the county. He
will not, however, pay any atten-
ton to unsigned articles mailed to
him to such effect. The person or
persons holding the necessary
knowledge must either appear per-
sonally to the sheriff or sign their
full signature to any communica-
ton.

Aledo, Ill, June 14.-"Hello, Is
this the light plant? Well. what's
the matter with the Iights?"
"HuIlo, power house? What's
wrong with the system, anyhow"
And so on, and so on, in almost
endless REPETITION. The telephone
bell tangled continuously and the
engineer at the Aledo power plant
cussed loudly and at length as he
YEARLY answered the calls. Plenty
of cause for irritation, anyone will
admit
1t was about o'clock last night
that the patience and good humor
of Mr.. Powerhouse were so sore1y
tried. Due to some defect "along the
line" as the plant engineer put It.
Aledo citizens were without lights
at alternate periods during the
evening. And what was more i'm
portant, the electric fans stopped
at least once for lack of "iuice. "
Hence the frenzied call of A1edo's
citizenry.

campaign is a worthy one, deserv-
ing of the support of everyone who
can afford to become associate
members. Memberships are only
81 a year and with further work
on the part of the committee of
workers. there should be no trouble
in securing the city's quota.

meet of the Rock Island boy scouts
was held yesterday afternoon at
Long View park in the presence of
a large audience of scouts and par
ents and friends of the boys. Troop
