  1. There was a man going home from work one time. His name is Bill Treacy. He was working at Jim St. Leger's. This night when he was going home he saw a man standing at a lane and he got down from his bicycle and said to him, "What are you doing there?" He got no answer/ Then he got nervous. He got up on his bicycle again and rode along till he went down a bit the road. He got off the bicycle and went into the ditch. He was not able to stay on it any longer because he got weak. The sweat on his forehead was as thick as suds.
