Suit to retain membership at Indian Creek Ranch Club
Daniel and Bonita Chapman filed suit in Grundy County Circuit Court to stop their expulsion from the Indian Creek Ranch Club and eviction from their Shabbona campground site. The suit, against Camping Ranches of Illinois Inc and the club, says they joined July 18, 1976 and were expelled April 27 after a meeting they did not attend. Bail for 18 year old David Warren was cut to 25,000 as prosecutors and public defender argued financial hardship and the need for work at Metro Rubber following a 17 count burglary indictment. A Morris Fire Department car fire call near McElwain's Construction Co was later canceled.

The Justice Department urges resumption of federal coal reserve leasing with safeguards against monopolistic supply. The 185 page report says oil firms may hold coal, not enough to disrupt markets, while noting potential regional anticompetitive effects in the Southwest and Northern Plains if leasing stays halted.
