South Kilkenny (New Ross Area)"Mickie Lying makes a miraculous escape from being 'stuck' to the Heart".On Saturday the 20th August 1898 Mickie accompanied a neighbour - who was a 'Yank' home on holidays - into the town of New Ross to make some purchases , preparatory to his returning to America again. Amongst other things he purchased a huge Barbour pocket knife almost as big as one used for killing pigs. They went around the town and had some drinks here, there and everywhere.

Mickie had won many wrestling matches in his day, so he was more than a match for the Yank. He knocked him down the third time. So what did the lad do?

Mickie warded him off as best he could and his left arm shows how vicious the Yank's determination to do him grievous bodily harm. He was rapidly losing blood and getting weak.
