    The first fight was between the people around and tinkers. The tinkers took the water and when they could not boil it they came back to the well and they threw stones at it. Then the people around started throwing stones at the tinkers and that formed the first fight.
    There is a special cure for the eyes in the water by rubbing the water so many times. And doing the the round which are five our Fathers five Hail Marys and five Glories.
    The Saint was seen there in the shape of a trout, and everyone that saw it was cured of his ailment.
