    Long ago there used to be a monthly fair at Rossmanagher cross. One day two police men left Sixmilebridge to attend it . They were walking up and down the fair until noon a magpie flew over the people. A man named Murray threw a stone at the bird. When the stone was falling it hit one of the police on the head and killed him. The police man was seen by a couple of people. Murray got so afraid that he went to America.
