“Barney Dolan as Gabhlann, Cillineach was in McGrails the tailors in Doobally...”
(continued from previous page)Barney. So off he went not thinking of what he had been told. That night fortnight he was out late gambling in Phildy Dolans, in Corralackagh, Dowra and he then went to the tailors house for his new suit. As he was again coming at the fort he heard beautiful music-fiddlers playing and people dancing. He could find a crowd people approach. They went in the direction of Blacklion and that was all Barney knew until he found himself in his own bed next morning feeling very sick. He lay in bed and could not rise and that day week he was dead by the magic these men worked on him. The woman that foretold this was a fairy.
