  1. (continued from previous page)
    to free himself but the man held his grip until told where to get the purse of gold.
    The man was told where to get it & he brought his son to help him dig it & after digging for a while they found it & went to the village & bought whiskey. When they were coming home the man fell into a river but his son rescued him but both of them got ill & died.
    People say it was bad luck for meddling with the Leprechaun.
