  1. Hidden Treasure.
    When my Uncle, James Conway, Stradone Street, Ballyjamesduff, was digging the bottom of his garden, which had not been dug for a number of years he found a number of guns. The guns were rusty and the wooden handles were soft with the damp and age. It is not known how, when, or why they were buried there.
