Is not known what value attaches to
these stocks and so far no action to
recover on them has been determined
upon.
Negotiations for settlement of the
claims under the gas company stock
were suspended after the death of
John G. Shelton, Jr., In 1913. Miss
Rives said the heirs at that time were
unable to agree as to what division
to make of the property and decided
to drop the matter.
Only recently they took it up again
and employed an attorney to push
their claims. The suit Is directed
against the National Bank of Com
MERGE and the William II. Thompson
Trust company, because, 1t Is alleged.
the pro rata distribution of the stock
at the time of It's sale was made
through the bank, and Thompson acted
as trustee in the transfer.
Miss Rives said that If the suit is
successful the sum recovered will be
divided into five parts for the heirs
Of the five children of her GRANDPA
Their. She will receive the entire part
that would have gone to her uncle.
John G. Shelton, Jr., having been be-
queathed his share, and one-haH of the
share Of her mother, who Is dead. The

UNEARTH OLD BABYLON
ExcAvAToRs FOUND TRACES OF
KINGS PALACE.
Foundations Of the Magnificent Abode
Of Nebuchadnezzar AIT That Re-
acknowledgements In City Of
Assur.

A writer In the Scientific Americas
describes the Babylonian excavations,
which German psychologists are con-
Quoting. OF all the interesting discov-
cries that have been made, Nebuchad-
nezzar's palace may be considered the
most important.
Little except the foundations of the
palace remain, and they are of square
burned bricks, each of which bears on
it's lower face the name and title of
the great king. The several hundred
chambers of the palace are small;
some of them are scarcely larger than
a modern bed. One chamber, much
larger. than the rest, had at one side
a low platform of bricks. That lis sup
posed to have been the throne room;
upon the platform the throne of the
king probably stood.
There was sacred street In Baby
Ion that led from the palace to- the
temple. Along 1t the images of the
gods were carried in procession i'm
time of festival The palace gateway
that led to the street, known as the
Ishtar gate. is most imposing, and
gives the spectator good idea OF
how Babylon must have looked I'm IT'S
glory. Whatever its original height
may have been, 1t still stands forty
feet above the street.
It's six square towers of burned
brick measure twelve feet each way,
and on all their sides, one above an
other, there are beautiful bas-reliefs
of bulls, lions, dragons, and animals
of fantastic shapes The reliefs are
of brick. glazed blue and yellow and
white, and the coloring is as fresh as
it ever was. Each brick of the relief
was glazed separately, and SO accur-
ately that when it was placed In the
wall it formed part of the perfect
picture.
Within the city of Assur We're dis

and temples, the home of the mayor,

Granddaughter of Wealthy St.
Louis Man Finds Papers.
Heirs Immediately File Suit to Re-
cover on 100000 in stocks-Girl,
Searching Carrot, Runs Across
Old Bible.

ST. Louis.-Suit has been filed by
the heirs of John Gilmore Shelton, who
at his death In 1869 was regarded as
one of the wealthiest ST. Louisans, to
recover from the William H. Thomp-
son Trust company and the National
Bank of Commerce on thirty shares
Of gas company stock valued at 100000
which were found by Shelton's grand
daughter. Miss Oracle ]. Rives, in 1910,
after they had been lost since the own
ers death.
The stock was in the old ST. Louis
Gas company, which was taken over
by the Laclede Gas company in 1890.
1t is claimed by the Shelton heirs that
no accounting was ever made for the
thirty shares they knew their grand
father had possessed, but were I'M
able to find.
The petition asks that the defend
ants be compelled to pay the pro
rata value of these shares at the time
of the sale, estimated at 100000. and
in addition compound interest at
per cent from January 1. 1890. This
would increase the aggregate claim to
more than 100000.
Miss Rives said that for several
years prior to 1910 she and her mother
had made their home with her uncle,
John G. Shelton, Jr. She always
helped with the spring housekeeping.
In. 1910 she gave the house more
thorough cleaning than ever before.
In a garnet storeroom were many
pieces of old furniture which had not
been disturbed for years. She found
a solid mahogany library table covered
with dust. In one side was drawer
so constructed that at first glance II
was not noticeable. She opened the
drawer and found a lot of faded pa
pers. Under them was an old Bible
