- Many years ago a poor family named Cassidy lived at Bruckless. Mrs. Cassidy threw the waste water into a drain at her back door. One day she was shocked to see a tiny red man when she threw in the water who begged off her never to put any more water in that place because theu were nearly drowned, and if she would not put any more water in riches would flow in her. So about two months after she was that rich she could not count her money.
