  1. There lived a man named James Costello who went looking for a pot of gold to Bohea. There was a pot of gold there and he was digging for four days around it and he did not find it. Then he went home on the forth night and he tied his into the barn. When he got up in the morning he found his horse dead and he never went looking for a pot of gold afterwards.
