  1. (continued from previous page)
    gentleman from Windgap was cycling from Callan when just at the glen he heard the horse trotting behind him. He took it for granted that it was Matty Moore on horseback so he cycled faster to Moore's shop and dismounted from his bicle and left it against the wall. When standing on the road the horse and rider passed into Moore's stable.
    The gentleman waited for some time for Moore to come out but getting uneasy at the long delay went into the stable himself and was greatly surprized to find neiter horse or man inside.
