    cattle there. James Farrelly, who owned the land adjoining the river, often told me he'd be there at daylight with a Fork to keep the people - the horsemen - coming down on his land. They wouldent like to be coming down swimming horses if they couuld help it. I never saw it myself but I crossed the River with horses swimming it was a short cut and the bed of the river was gravel.
