to share in the distribution of coin from

sharers.

should have imposed himself upon the
community in the outskirts of Los Ala
mites in the face of such a record and
against the protests of the residents
presented duly to the supervisors, was
not due to the ignorance of certain ones,
but to their cupidity. 1t is however fair
to presume that the supervisors of Los
Angeles county did not know that he
had served time in Jail for infractions of
the liquor law and that there are cases
now pending in court against him. under
the charge of the Los Angeles district
