- One windy night, the wind knocked a "lone bush" in a farmer's field.
The next morning the farmer cut the bush up in pieces and brought it home for fire wood. When he put some of the bush in the fire a spark flew out and burned his eye.
His woman put a cloth over his eye and when she was sewing the cloth she put the needle in his forehead and he got blood poisoning.
The blood-poison went through his body and he died.
This happened near Crossbane.
