  1. Folklore, Accidents

    Share Share Post
    Very few accidents ever happened in my district but there were one or two serious ones.
    Some time after the trouble there were a crowd of men who used to go every night stealing stones out of the Culliagh barrack.
    They had all the stones taken from the underneath part and accidently the over head toppled down and instantly killed one of the men named O'Gara. There was also a young man Francis Carlos badly injured but the rest escaped.
