- There is a forge in the town it owned by Mr. Quinn. Mr. Quinn's father used to work there before him and now Morris works there. He is doing a good trade now.
He has a man working with him.
There is an old story told about it. It is noted for its nationality. One day two Black and Tans came in to get their horses shod. Mr Quinn bent down to get the hammer, and it was a piece of iron he picked up. He threw it at one of the Tans, and he knocked him. He went over to the other one, and the man that was on the ground fired a shot, and knocked the other man. The two of them died soon after.
