  1. There was once a man named Gibbons who lived in the village Clooneen, in the parish of Kilmeena, and in the Co. of Mayo.
    He thought that everybody in the townland was trying to fool him. So two boys got coloured [sic] pictures and pasted them on the donkey. When the ass got free he ran wild through the village.
    When the cows saw him they ran also, and they all died.
