  1. A man was coming home from town one day and he was very drunk.
    He started to beat his wife after he left the town. His wife got out of the cart and walked home. When she came to a certain place she went across the fields to her home. The man had to go round the road with the horse and cart.
    The man came to a bridge, he pulled the reins the wrong way and the horse and cart went over the bridge and the man was drowned. There was a man hanged himself on a tree not far from this.
    12th April 1938.
