   After '98 I heard me father saying, that he often heard his father telling it, that they used often have to stay out on the double ditch all night, afraid of the robbers that were going around robbing and plundering. They were afraid to stop in the house. That was the time the money was buried around the country. A lot of people used hide it in the chimneys. Roches of Shanoule there was money found in the chimney there.
