  1. The Leipreachán (continued)

    There was in Garus a deserted field near the Mills which was never used.

    (continued from previous page)
    (he heard a queer sound he loo) saw a little man dressed in a little queer gown with a beard he knew he was the leprechan because he was supposed to be seen there. He caught hold of the leprecan and he said "Show me where you have the pot of gold" He said "alright" and he was just showing him where it was hidden when he said "look behind I think there is some one following us". The man looked around and he said "there is no one following us" he said, but when he looked at his hand there was not sign of a leprecan. That man is dead about 10 years.
