EYE EYE SIR! -

A local character in the Capel area was one Denny Connell who was thought to be a bit eccentric.

On one occasion he was blowing out stumps with gelignite and lost an eye. Without mentioning it to anyone he walked to Bunbury for medical care.

Later after visiting a doctor and being told to take a dose of medicine in water, he waded into the Capel River to take each dose.

On yet another occasion he was travelling to Perth by train and lost his much loved hat out the window. Unperturbed he marked a cross in the dust on the glass proclaiming that he would now know where to find it on the return journey.
