It is said in the neighbourhood of Caio that Dr. Harries had foretold the death of the Late Lamented Judge Johnes, of Dolaucothy, about thirty years before it took place. Mr. Johnes, who was highly respected, was cowardly murdered by a native of Ireland in 1876. Mr. D. Owen (Brutus), in his book "Brutusiana" which was published in 1840, condemns the wizard for his fortune telling: "The first day of winter. Severe is the weather, Unlike the first Summer, None but God can foresee what is to come." Druidical "Warrior Song." PREDICTION CONCERNING THE DEATH OF HIS LATE MAJESTY KING EDWARD. According to Mr. Arthur Mee, Cardiff, in the "Western Mail," May, 1910, astrologers who make a study of national forecasts, had predicted the death of the late King. SIR RHYS AP THOMAS CONSULTING A WIZARD CONCERNING KING HENRY VII. When the Earl of Richmond (afterwards Henry VII.) was about to land in Wales from France on his way to Bosworth, Sir Rhys Ap Thomas, consulted a well-known wizard and prophet, who dwelt at Dale, as to whether the Earl would be successful to dethrone Richard III. After much hesitation, and at the urgent demand of Sir Rhys, the Conjurer on the next day prophesied in rhyme as follows:-- "Full well I wend, that in the end Richmond, sprung from British race. From out this land the boare shall chase." The "Boare" meant Richard III. See "Life of Sir Rhys Ap Thomas," by M. E. James, page 49. THE CONJURER AND THE LOST OX. Mr. Thomas Jones, Brunant Arms, Caio, gave me the following account of what took place about 55 years ago, when his father lived at Penlifau, in the parish of Cilcwm, on the mountain side, and near the road which leads over the mountain from Cilcwm to Cwmcothi. A young farmer who lived at a place called Foshwyaid, Cwm Du, near Talley, has taken some cattle to Caio fair, in the month of August. Somehow or other, one of his oxen went astray from the Fair, and could not be seen anywhere in the neighbourhood. The young farmer and others went in every direction in search of the animal, but returned disappointed. At last, the man went to Cwrtycadno, to consult the "Dyn Hysbys." The wise man informed him that his ox had wandered away from the Fair, at first in a northernly, and afterwards in an easterly direction, "and" said he, "if you take the road leading from here over the mountain to Cilcwm, you will meet a man (the conjurer gave a description of the man) who is likely to know something, or at least give you some clue to your lost animal."
