    Share Share Post
    At the time of the landleague there was a farmer outside the town that had three large sheep cocks of good hay some of his neighbours wanted to bycot him, in order to hunt him away of the land. They went and they burned his hay. It came a very bad winter and half of his stock died with starvation and it took him to long a time to get compansation and he wanted the money so badly he being at such a great loss at the burning of his hay and the loss of his stock that he went crazy and had two be send away.
