| A caretaken on the Warden estate,
near Sheen, which has become notorious
owing to the harsh and unjust evictions
perpetrated there, recently reported to
the police that a shot had been fred at

larry visited the place and investigated

ence brought many visitors to the field,
and his dexterity in "latching'' and in
manipulating the sickle was truly ad-
mirable. "Mickle' Maley and his amia-
bic spouse and white donkey are pretty
we'll known for some miles around Cow
ran, and to his acquaintances In that VI
entity he occasionally relates narrowing
"reminiscences of the Black Az or en-
tertains them with a vivid narrative e.
the Carrickshock tragedy, to which he
was an eyewitness. 1t may be of further
interest to know that ''Mickle' has
punctuated his long career by taking
three blushing brides from the altar of
hymen. "Mickle" has always been an
agricultural laborer and II he should
live till the Goth of September next he
will have completed his 1920 year.
