    father was into the knocking of the house in which he saw the head, the men were greatly suprised when they saw it, and they took the money out of the head of the woman and sent it off. They buried the head in a field close by. In the morning whey they went out to see if it was there they dug again for the head, to their suprise it was gone. When they got the head first it was in a little timber box, around the box there was a little chain which fastened the box tightly. Around th box there were rows of white stones which kept the box safe.
