- (continued from previous page)Dolly his old mare and rode into the town. When the business was done he was coming around the corner home at the police Barracks when he arrested. Seated on the mare's back two soldiers bringing him to the hook up. A woman was driving along in an ass and car before them but Darby unknown to the soldiers slipped the bridle of the mare's head. He gave her the spurs and she jumped right over the car leaving the soldiers with the bridle. As it was a fair day a crowd had gathered in the town so the soldiers could not fire because they might shoot over so Dolly carried her master to safety.Written by: Kieran Egan, Clonboniff, Belmont, Offaly. I heard this from my mother Mrs. Kate Egan, Clonboniff, Belmont, Offaly.
