    (continued from previous page)
    His gaiety was short-lived as at the first fence he jumped, he cell and broke his neck. So ended the career of one of the most notorious ruffans who ever disgraced the valley of the Bandon river.
    The remainder of the story touches on the supernatural, as it is said by some unaccountable agency he was placed on the saddle and his horse brought him slowly back to Rock Castle and his hounds formed the funeral cortege.
    It is stated that no human hands touched Stammers from the time he fell until he was taken from his horse at Rock Castle.
