Rusty Personett holds up a theodolite to attract a buyer at the Sunrise Lion's Club Annual Government Surplus Auction, held Saturday in Flagstaff.   A theodolite is an instrument used in surveying to measure horizontal and vertical angles.  This one was among hundreds of items seized from the bankrupt school district of Colorado City, a polygamist community in Northern Arizona that has come under government scrutiny.
