This seems to have appeared in the Wishaw Press on 20 April 1990.

There only seems to be one other reference to "Stookie Matha" available through the British Newspaper Archive, which is a passing reference to him and his donkey in a reminiscence piece that appeared in the Wishaw Press on 6 September 1963.

Best wishes
