- (continued from previous page)There was a lot of people watching him going home from work.
One evening he had to cross a meadow and the men tied about twelve "traneens" together on each side of the path. Every time he would come to one of the snares he would fall, and then he would begin cursing. The people that would be behind the ditch would be laughing to themselves every time he would fall. Some people made a story about him. He made a lot of money on songs he made.- Collector
