    One day he was going out with his horse and chariot at a turn in the road now only a boreen the horse drew the wheel over a large stone which can be seeen to day and over turned the car.
    The man was thrown out and in falling gave a loud shout and was killed.
    The people say that to this day the shout is heard every seven years.
