The others were cremated for $114 each. If no one claims the ashes within 30 days, they are sprinkled in the rose garden, said Ellett. "It's a hell of a way to go, I know," he said.

"But what more can we do for them?" The burials are very routine.

By state law, the county attorney office is required to arrange and pay for burial for all the county's deceased poor. iL "We do all we can to find the relatives of the person to let them know the person is dead, and to find out what they want to do with the body," Ellett said.

The county looks at Social Security records, veterans records and anywhere people are listed. fh TT Wmm ii 4 i WillOlDilirKii i'1" I I ri-i-J-V: -V. fl I i i 9 CFriedClam 1 -T" saf pi Served with Fisheries S7v --r Tender Fire Battalion mailbox down HOLLIDAY Salt Lake County Chief Robert Hannay checks a Holladay incident Shrimp, stuffed crab, fish fillet and clams.

Pipe bomb damages mailbox Starting At '24-Pieee Shrimp Dinner (HOT HOLLADAY (AP) A Holladay resident taking out his garbage found part of his mailbox missing and an unexploded pipe bomb on the roadway.

Salt Lake County fire and sheriff's officers called to the scene Wednesday morning placed the pipe bomb in an explosion-proof case and transported it to a safe place. Investigators said the first bomb blew the top part of the mailbox from the post and blew the unexploded bomb out onto the roadway. The unexploded bomb was made in which a pipe bomb was treme danger of the bombs exploding in their hands during assembly. "Gunpowder can get caught up in the threads and ignited by the heat of friction when the caps are tightened," he said. For that reason, bomb experts use a special remotely controlled pipe wrench for disassembling such bombs.

Because blowing up mailboxes is federal offense a postal inspector also was called to investigate. documents said. Sheriff's deputies arrested Mills in the Kearns area Feb. 1 for possession of a dangerous concealed weapon after a man was seen throwing a rifle into some bushes. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Twenty-seven-year-old transient Ted Curtis Sanders was stabbed to death last September in Pioneer Park, the victim of an apparent robbery.

Detectives spent months hunting for bis killer and his family. Both searches have failed. Within a week of the slaying, Sanders' body was placed in a cheap pine box and buried in an unmarked grave. There was no service, no flowers, no last respects and no tears. Sanders was one of 127 Salt Lake County residents who died penniless last year and received the county's no-frills funeral.

A few of the deceased poor murder victims are buried in a nondescript, overgrown cemetery in Taylorsville. "It's kind of a dumpy place, I hate to admit it," said Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney Bud Ellett, whose duties include the disposition of the indigents. "But it's the best we've got." The rest of the indigents are cremated and their ashes left on the rose garden of the Salt Lake City cemetery. The county likes the Taylorsville cemetery because the plots are cheap, but. "It has always been a battle to keep the cemetery in some sort of repair to keep it respectful," Ellett said.

"It's also been a source of problems because there are some veterans buried there and some people want the place kept up because of that and we can't do that." Last year, the county paid more than $16,000 to have the indigents processed, said Ellett. Homicide victims always receive the more expensive ground burials because they may have to be exhumed for further investigation, he said.
