“The Leipreachan is a small man about two feet and a half.”
(continued from previous page)night when going to bed they would put the cups in a row in the middle of the floor. When they got up in the morning the cups would be up on the dresser. This went on for nine nights, and the tenth morning he went for his cows and he got one of them dead near the fort. He went to his neighbour and he told his story. They told him to stand between the fort and the cow, and to get a grain of eart, and to throw it at her. When he threw it at her she got up and was as good as ever.
