Shepherd, in Russell county, was visited by
BY three men in disguise, who demanded Of
Mrs. Shepherd that she deliver up to them
the money known TO be in her possession.
She resisted the demand for seme time, and
used every entreaty 20 induce the rufians to
leave the house, but they refused to 20, and
finally knocked her down, and threatened to
kill her if she did not give them the money.
Seeing the robbers pi eparing to put their
hreat into execution, aud in order TO save
her life, Mrs. s. gave up the nrsney, about
s. 900, aud tho scoundrels mediatsly left
without further violence, The money was
the price of tract Of lan1 recently sold by
Mr.. Shepherd. who was absent from home
nj the time OF the robbery.
Two n the party we're recognized by
Mrs. Shepherd, and warrants were issued
for their arrest, but they had not been found

other two have not been reported to u.s.

been preserved in the treasure chamber OF
the G athedral Of Rouen, but has now been
placed 10 tomb erected to receive the re-
mains Of that monarch, In the choir OF the
building. The last wish Of Richard Ceur
de Leon, who died In 1893, from the effects
Of an arrow wound received at the siege OF
the Castle Of ChAlus, was to have his heart
placed In the choir Of the Cathedral. and
this wish, after 40 years has just been
complied with. The urn bears leaden
plate With the isseTiptisA, "Iiic jaeet cot
Ricardi, regis Auglorum." After go many
years q mere sprinkling Of dust must oaly
remain Of the man Who In bis time Oiled
the world with stories OF his romantic snc
