    farmer. Scully went alone with his gun on his shoulder. He charged the farmer for his rent. "Come", said the farmer, "we will fight for it." Scully left down his gun and started to fight. The farmer grasped Scully and threw him against the ground three times. he beat the landlord and the farmer had his place free for three years. Scully was a cowardly man and he was afraid to punish the tenants if they were able to beat him in fight. After those eviction the people formed a few lines poetry to show how much they hated their landlord.
