  1. One time there were two men going out over Crucknanonion at 12 o'clock at night on two bicycles. One of them had a light and the other had none. The fellow who had the light said to the other, "Stay you behind and if I see anything coming I will tell you." They didn't go far till the fellow with the light said to him there's a man on horseback and when the two men got past the fellow who had no light said "I saw no horse." This is (?) by the two men.
