    (continued from previous page)
    wounded outlaw, aiming at the buttons, shot him dead.
    The sound of the shots echoes far and wide and soon a crowd had gathered from all parts of the Glen.
    Then they beheld Donohue dead and Rory out lying wounded at the mouth of his cave.
    Donohue's friends, enraged, got a pair of horses and two harrows. They then tied Rory between the harrows and drove the horses till the flesh was torn from his bones.
    He died in great agony shortly after.
