   Leprachauns were often heard in caves around here long ago shoemaking but up in Tullakeel one of them was heard and a Neill man made up his mind with another man to get his purse. He always lived in a cave and could be heard. One night near dusk they went to the cave because he always came out after nightfall As he came out they grabbed him, he was very tiny so it was easy to catch him and they held him by the back of the head. When they had him fast he told them to look at the wonder that was in the distance and they did so they left their hold go and he disappeared.

He took it this morning she followed him to get it.
