   One day as a priest from this parish was saying Mass on the mountain side near James Egan's his scouts came to tell him that the priest hunters were coming in his direction. He left as soon as he could and took with him his blackthorn stick. When crossing a stream his stick stuck in the soft bank and broke across. Taking the bit that remained he went on, leaving the other portion in the ground where it had stuck. Next morning some people going that way saw a bunch of roses growing on the bit of stick. The priest got away safely and went into hiding.
