Man finds lost Sherlock Holmes story in his attic

Eighty-year-old Walter Elliot was looking through old papers in his attic when he found a Sherlock Holmes story from 1904.

The short story, "Sherlock Holmes: Discovering the Border Burgs and, by Deduction, the Brig Bazaar," was inside a pamphlet one of Elliot's friends had given him more than 50 years ago.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle apparently wrote the story to help raise money to build an iron bridge in Selkirk, Scotland. Elliot said he doesn't know how many of the pamphlets containing the story were made or if the tale was published anywhere else.
