Officers were unable to find out the. cause of the scrap. Profanity could be heard for several blocks. Residents of the neighborhood called the police. Two more men were arrested in the final cleanup, making three in all.

They were badly intoxicated. All were ordered out of the city Wednesday. Canned heat and bay rum were consumed in large quantities by the empty bottles and cans being found. A few found in the cleanup were honest unemployed men for work. They were not molested.

Two of the Kencr were Legion men, one was a negro nearly seven feet tall. Officers said that several cf the men have been in Fairmont before and are regular transients. They have been there in good times as well as bad. Chief Plenge received permission from the councilmen Wednesday to go through the Jungles and destroy 'all huts, cooking places and camplne sites and cut lonar crass so there will be no chance of hiding out In the future; "Don't sell denatured alcohol to ques- tlonable characters," is a warning to local dealers in this product. While cleaning out the jungles the street crew found hundreds of empty bottles which had contained alcohol consumed by the hoboes.

Tuesday night When the second raid was made, officers found the man with one time the most widely known man, perhaps, in Livermore and Humboldt county. He was the founder of the State Bank of Livermore, which was opened just forty-eight years ago next September.

The bank opened up In a newly built brick building which occupied the present vacant lots west of the drug store. It began as a 'private bank and was later organized as a state bank, and years later erected the present state bank building, it is a regretable coincidence that the passing of the bank and its founder occur now within but a few days of each other.
