    (continued from previous page)
    It was only last summer a man named Thomas Frarrell who lived near Bohola was telling us that some years ago when he was a young boy, he got a bundle of hay on his back one day and got in under a railway wagon that was about fifteen cwts. weight and he lifted it clean off the line. This feat of strength was done for a bet.
    As he himself afterwards said "it was done with main strength and ignorance."
