    This man used to go night every night and he used to meet this certain woman every place he used go.
    She frightened him terribly always, so he appointed a night for them to have a trial of each other & to let someone of them do away with the other. So the man took a hazel stick and a knife with him and a good many people went to see the fight. They could not see the woman at all when he stuck the knife in her.
