“About fifty years ago a man named Mr John O'Connor who lived just outside Athenry ran after a carriage which was carrying Mr Richardson the landlord of Tyaquin to Galway.”
(continued from previous page)Mr Richardson before he reached Oran Mor with a letter to tell him not to go any farther because he would be murdered. Mr O'Connor went from Athenry to Oran Mor a distance of seven miles in twenty minutes and over took Mr Richardson as he was within half a mile of where the murderers were in ambush.
In the village of Attymon long ago there lived a great dancer named Mr Burke. All Ireland knew about him. He used to dance on every stage where a play took place. His chief step was "Heel-and-toe" barn dance sets". He was noted for all these.- Collector
