Forgetful Pool Hall Owner Finds Registration Card
Frank Bunny Bunnelle, former Hamp shire Street pool room proprietor, is freed by Mayor Thompson in Chicago after a registration card is found in a pool hall cash register. Bunnelle had left Quincy for Hammond Ind to pursue a business proposal when federal agents halted him for a missing card. The card, numbered 47, was located in the pool room cash register after he sent clothes to be cleaned. Rollo Six of Barry was named for a Fort Sheridan training camp, and Joseph DeLess of Clayton, a monument dealer, visited the city. Mrs. Mary Shepard hosted the Rose Missionary Society with Amelia Grande of Pana as guest.
