  1. (continued from previous page)
    put whirling round the road and when he came to his senses he found himself in the village of Kill. Mr. James Corcoran heard the traps coming and wondering what the matter was about. He was about to get out of bed to go to the window to see what it was but he was unable to do so. He was held in the bed and couldn't stir till the funeral was gone. When the people around heard of it next day a few men went over to the graveyard and saw that Mrs. Hally's grave had sunk during the night.
