ton cemetery is highly polished granite
cube, three feet square, which rests on
one point on rough, granite, dome-like
base firmly planted in the earth. 1t

gard of the laws of gravitation is a cop
per dowel which passes far up into the
point of the cube and deep into the base,
holding the top firmly in place.

fee unless duties are performed, and as
Sheriff Wilson is a most exemplary citi-
zen, there will be little for the high bail
