pounds 70 twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village 10 village with the

The trap at Rockville is located on the
fine stretch Of macadam road which eN-
tends south from GaitherShurg. 1t is for
the most part open country. where the
speed limit is twenty-five miles an hour.
On approa ching Rockville the road makes
a slight bend. ana is followed by q
sharp curve to the right, almost a forty
five-degree turn. 1t is when the turn is
made into the town OF Rockville that the
motorist is halted and then Informed
that hc has been exceeding the speed
limit. Speed limit signs are posted on
the outskirts of the town proper, stating
that the limit is six miles an hour within
the town proper The fine for violation
of this law Is So. and il Is seldom that a
victim gets off for less than that amount.
The sheriff uses an 'EM-F' touring
car for making his catches. while his as
sistants are mounted on motor cycles The
