Somebody told them that these men were stilling in Sheese, and they set out for the Sheese. When they were going up the road near Micky Bradley's they saw a big fire on the other side of the river and a number of men were dancing around it. They thought that it was the men stilling and they crossed the river. When they reached the place where they supposed they saw the fire there was no fire to be seen. The men were also gone. The I. R.
