    This is a story I heard from Mr. M. Nolan. According to this old man tere is supposed to be money hidden in Coolattin.
    He also told me that it was hidden under very unlevel ground, and that men tried to level it, but they were not able. There is supposed to be a white dove minding it there. He told me also that there was a man ploughing in that field, and when he came to where the money was hidden he got a pain in his arm, and he never recovered.
    It is not known if anyone dug for it or not. There was a Lepreacaun seen by two men in that field also.
