Graveyard Of Twentieth Legion
Exhumed at Chester, Eng.
Bronze Coins Of the Emperors An
tonius, Pius and commodus
Are Found With the
Remains.

London.-The extension of the tn
Urinary at Chester has led to the dis
covery of the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion of the Romans during
their occupation of that city.
The Chester infirmary occupies
site which is locally referred to as
the plague field" The site seems to
have acquired its unsavory name from
the fact that casual discoveries of hu-
man remains had led to the supposi-
ton that they were the victims OF
the great plague.
The recent unearthing of remains In
larger numbers on the site of the ex-
tension of the infirmary led to an In
vestigation by Prof. Robert Newstead.
who now reports that the evidence
proves conclusively that the infirmary
field was not used as burying ground
during the outbreak of the plague, and
that all the burials which have been
SO far unearthed belong to the Ro-
man period.
Four distinct types of graves have
been uncovered One is tomb formed
of local sandstone, evidently repre-
senting a burial of some importance
as the walls of the tomb are covered
in plaster, and the dome of the struc
ture originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface OF
the land, forming a distinct tumulus
Some of the graves were formed by
placing Roman roofing tiles bearing
the stamp of the twentieth legion upor

by placing rough hewn sandstone 81
that v-shaped trough was formed
for the reception Of the body. 4
fourth type of grave consists of a sim

depth of not more than two feet from
the original land surface.

Lock Your Postoffice Boxes.

The patrons of the Orofino postoffice
who have lock boxes, should lock them
when they take their mail out of them.
Last week package containing two
abstracts Of title, was taken from K. G.
Osterhout's box by two little girls, and
the abstracts torn to pieces and scat
tered over a whole block before it was
found out. Other boxes have had mail
taken from them from time to time and
much inconvenience and some trouble
has resulted from the loss of mcil in a
mysterious manner. The postmaster
is not to blame for mail being taken
from lock boxes when they are left un-
locked, and patrons of the office should
see that there is no chance for anyone
to get the mail from their boxes unless
they have the proper combination.
Parents should exercise little more
supervision over their children too, as
there are many complaints of rooms
being entered by children and papers,
pictures, ETC., taken in the absence Of
occupants af the rooms. A little more
care along this line will save trouble.
