    the middle of one of the fields and as they were drawing near the tree they heard someone calling, "Don't interfere with Barney's seat". This was repeated several times. The man said they would not interfere with it if they knew where it was. It was coming near the men's dinnertime so they left the field and went home. When they came back to the field again there was a round spot near the tree surrounded by wild flowers. The men knew this was "Barney's Seat" and they did not interfere with it.
