    A man, who was called Samson, lifted a 240 pound iron bar with his teeth, and he also broke chains when his legs and arms were bound.
    Samson also lifted a pony on his back and walked a small distance with him. He also allowed a man to split a block with a hatchet while it rested on his head. This man lived in Ennis.
