- Hidden Treasure.
There is a treasure of a crock of gold in George MacKenna's land. How they found it out. A fortuneteller told them that there was a crock of gold over on the hill under a lone bush. That might be a hundred years ago since he told them. He told them that, if they would go in the dead of the night with a blessed candle and the holy water and root out the tree and dig under it they shoud find it but a attempt was made.
