"A curious story is going the rounds
at Limoges, France, and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an
nouncing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. 1t is asserted that
in 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard, while efecting some re.
pairs to the cellar of the house they
occupied discovered treasure con-
sisting of sum of money and numer-
Gus valuable books.
The particular part Of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site of an
ancient monastery, and it Is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported discov.
cry is not yet known, but it is as
serted that the two shoemakers, who
were previously konwn to be in
straitened circumstances, have Of re-
cent years lived on quite different
footing and have been able TO pur-
chase numerous house properties in
the district.
Their landlord is now taking pro-
ceedings with a view of testing the
accuracy of the local gossip and of
claiming the treasure or at least q
