- Long, long ago a man named Paddy Nellie One was working in a field. As he was working a Miner came up to him and told him to come over and look at these stones. Paddy didn't take any heed to the stones. The Miner told him to dig there. [For?] he says there is silver three quarters of a mile under the ground. Paddy died and no one ever dug for the silver.
