When Sheriff Graves was handed a copy of the resolutions by the min- isters he scratched his head. “We've gota couple of men in there for highway robbery, burglary and grand larceny,” he sald; “one for attempted murder and several for general cussedness. I'd like to be obliging, but—er—will you people have your guns along in case any of ’em would run?” There wasa@ consultation of the clergymen and it was decited that one of their number would vlalt the jail each Sunday and hold services therein to which amendment the sheriff heartily agreed.
