  2. Historical Tradition - Another Version of the Shooting

    As they were going up the mountain through a "clash" the Free State soldiers saw them and fired four shots one after another at them with their machine guns.
    There was a man going up the mountain afterwards and he saw a man's cap on the path. By this sign he knew they were dead.
