A Bettws-y-Coed Tragedy. SAD DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN FARMER. On Christmas day a rumour was current that Mr John Roberts, Pencraig, 60 years of age, a well- known farmer, was missing since the previous day \vi n he left home well and hearty. His wife at on^e set out to make enquiries both at Bettws-y- and Llanrwst, at which places the deceased was in the habit of doing business. In both lo^'ll-t he had been seen 011 the Thursday, having a shop in Bettws at a fairly late hour, where he purchased matches and candles for the purpose, is supposed, of lighting his way which leads tor the major part, through a particularly dark wood. This was the last intelligence that couL. be ob- tained of his whereabouts. His wife continued her searches but to no effect, and on Saturday even- ing she had a conversation with Sergeant Breese, the result of which was that a search party was organised. On Sunday morning a large party, accompanied by a numcer of dogs, commenced the search, taking the river Llugwy up as far as Swallow Falls, thence returning, and searched the wood between Pencraig and the river, but to no purpose. At 12 o'clock the party broke up, re-assembling at 2 p.m., a start was made from Pont-y-Pair down the Llugwy. When about 100 yards down, they came across his lifeless body lying in mi -stream, his legs only being in the water and his head leaning on a boulder. The spot where the body lay was in full sight of the road by the Royal Oak Stables, and could have been easily observed, but for the fact that his whole body was covered with a thin layer of snow, his face only being clear to view. The body was at once removed to his home (Pen- craig). On Monday, Mr. J. Pentir Williams, the coroner for the Northern division of Carnarvon- shire, held an inquest. Mr. Thomas Evans, Oak- field, was elected foreman of the jury. Evidence of identification and of finding the body having been given, the jury returned a verdict of Foun in the River Llugwy." A vote of sympathy with the widow and deceased's aged mother was re- turned, and a vote of thanks was accorded Sergeant Breese and the search party for their kindness and The funeral took place at Zion Cemetery, Llan- rwst yesterday (Wednesday), the Rev. William Thomas officiating. .co,

Conway Territorials. SUPPER AND ENTERTAINMENT. The. annual supper of the E (Conway) a iii Company of the 6th Battalion, R.W.T., was held in the Girls' School on Tuesday. A num- befr of officers and visitors who had been invited to. attend, were unable to do so owing to the very inclement weather. The men, however turned up in good numbers, one of these having come all the way from Roe Wen. Captain Tux- ford presided, and he was supported by. Lieut.- Colonel C. H. Dairbishire and Lieutenants Lewis and Cemlyn Jones. The supper was very much enjoyed by all, and it reflected the greatest credit upon Mr. Fred Jones, Grosvenor House, and his staff, who were the caterers. They had also prettily decorated the schoolroom. Captain Tuxford addressed a few words to the men. 'He said he was sure they all welcomed the Colonel amongst them. The work of the E Company on the whole was satisfactory. On the 31st March the strength of the Company was 106, but when they went into camp it had, for various reasons, dwindled to 54, although they made every effort to get the men to re-en- list in the Territorial forces. It was particularly noticed that those who only served one year were very backward. A great deal depended upon the men themselves, and he sincerely hoped that they would do all in their power to increase their •junibeirS'. In 1900, when they en- camped at Fleetwood, they were 129 strong, and be did not why they should at the last camp have ffonf ?,,ii, to less than iialf that number. :> C'S,2,D'r as T'e:=t:ros musketry, was very satisfactory. Thanks to the able teaching of Colour-Sergeant-Instructor Kemsatt, the. Company had reached a high standard of efficiency in this respect, but there was no reason why they should not head the list in musketry. (Hear, hear.) Colonel Darbishire, who was well received, congratulated the men for turning out in such good numbers on such a terrible night. It was a great pleasure, to him to be present. He in- tended visiting as many of the Companies of the Battalion as possible, with the view of en- deavouring to increase their numbers by the next camo. He went on to refer that the auth- orities were doing all in. their power to get the camp next year at Abergavenny, in South Wales, a place, he was sure, would be very much liked by the men of the Battalion. (Cheers.) The men afterwards formed up and marched to the Town Hall, where a public meeting and entertainment was held Despite the unfavour- ableness of tin. weather, there was a good at- tendance of the general public. The Mayor (Dr. M. J. Morgan,), wearing his chain of office, pre- sided, and he was supported by Lieut.-Colonel Danbishire, Major _E. Marriette, R.M.A.C. Captain Tuxford, and Mr. Henry Lewis, J.P., Brynhyfryd. THE MAYOR'S ADVICE. The meeting was opened with a march well rendered by the Conway Town Band. The Mayor said that their presence that even- ing proved that thev were patriotic and loyal subjects of the King. The object of the meeting was to hear explained Mr. Haldane's Territorial Scheme, which was considered to be the best possible scheme of voluntary service. It was not a scheme for aggressive purposes, out for the defence of Britain's shores. He thought it would be an excellent thing for the young men of Conway to. join the new force, for the pur- pose of the training, which would be of great benefit to them. The previous week, he had examined several young men for a Friendly Society, and he had noticed the great difference in the physique and the chest development of those who "were members, or had been members, of the forces. He strongly advised the young men to join, for the sake of their physique and development. COLONEL DARBISHIRE'S APPEAL. Colonel Darbishire, who was warmly received delivered a rousing and patriotic address, in which he showed why it is the duty of our young men, whilst they have time and opportunity, to prepare themselves to take their share of the re- sponsibility of preserving our shores inviolate in the event of an attempted invasion by a foreign power. Fiailure to resist such an inva- sion would be disastrous. It was absolutely necessary to have a really well-organised, well- equipped and efficient force ready to prevent such an attack and to maintain peace. The old Volunteer system had proToo a failure, hence Mr. Haldane's new Territorial Scheme.a bold and wonderful scheme which fulfilled all the most exacting requirements. This scheme," the Colonel proceeded to say, "demands but little real self-sacrifice; but it does demand an earnest desire on the part of every able-bodied man to understand, and be ready to do his duty when the supreme effort has to be made, and our services are required. Of course, such a complete change in the mili- tary arrangements for our defence cannot be per- fected all at once. We must have patience. At the same time, each of ua can do our own little part to shorten the time when the consummation of our wishes will be assured, and the absolute inviolability of our shores will be established. As the officer commanding the infantry in Car- narvonshire, I appeal to every young man, whose circumstances enable him to enroll him- self in the. Battalion, to do so. All my officers devote themselves ungrudgingly to the interests of those who associate (hem,selves with us, ana it only wants a hearty response to make the 6th Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as fine as or, indeed, a finer one, than the old 3rd Volun- teer Battalion. No one joining us can derive an}thing but what is good from the discipline, physical e-xercises, and annual week or fortnight camp, which form our training; and it is with the sincere hope of a great success that we labour on in the endeavour to prepare ourselves to answer any call that may hereafter be made upon u:s." (Loud applause.) TO ENSURE PEACE. Mr. Henry Lewis, J.P., said he appeared before them as an advocate of the Territorial Army, because he was a man of peace. He was very much against war. When he said that he believed he also indicated what was highest in the aspirations and hearts of each one of them, Ti-ierre could be no more terrible calamity than war—England must be prepared to defend her wealth from the envy of those by whom she was surrounded, and to ensure their own security they should make England strong and ready. They had a Navy which was incomparable, but it should be backed by a good and powerful aiimy. they must make their armv so stron0* that foreign nations would not come to attack them. Some people in Conway were peace-lov- ing, like himself, but there was a wrong screw in their heads They thought that to be peace. ful was to do nothing That was a terrible blunder. Strong England would make for peace. Why? Becaiiise the other nations would be afraid to attack, and they could not be afraid unless they kept the Navy and the Territorial Army up to the mark. (Applause.) Maio'- a? R.M.A.C., showed the benefits ^■t.i**a.crue from joining the Ter- ritorial Army. Many of those present were descended from the old British stock, and they had every reason to be proud of the race to which they belonged. However, they were not now so powerful in physique as they used to- be. The standard of recruiting in the Army had gone down to 5ft. 2in. in height, with a chest measurement of 32 inches, a standard which any boy of 15 should attain. There was no doubt whatever of the advantage they gained physically from the little bit of soldiering which the Territorial Army would give. It also im- proved the members very considerably in other respects. It also gave the men intelligent em- ployment in the evening, instead of playing billiards, cards, and gambling. I A programme was then gone through. Mir. Tom Jones, R.A.M., was given a rousing recep- tion, and he was vociferously encored for his rendering of The Veteran's Song," afterwards singing The Old Soldier." The Conway Quadrille Band contributed selections from the Belle of New York." The Mayoress (Mips. M. J. Morgan.) distributed 106 certificates of service to men who belonged to the Company on the 31st March last. Gram.aphone selections were given by Mr. J. W. Post and lantern slides of "Scenes in Camp" were thrown on the canvas by Mr. R. Evans,

Denbighshire County Cricket Cl u b. The annual general meeting was held at Vhex- ham on Saturday, when there were present: Messrs. F. H. Jagger (in the chair), C. C. Niott, L. O. R. Ashley, A. Swainson, and A. P. Brown. The Secretary (Mr. C. C. Mott) produced the accounts for the past season, showing a balance in hand of fI 5s. gd. Mr. Vott then expressed a wish to resign the secretaryship, and said he had much pleasure in proposing Mr. Swainson in his place. Mr. Swainson was unanimously elected. The Chairman proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Mott for his valuable services during the period he had held the post of Secretary. On the proposition of Mr. Jagger, seconded by Mr. Brown, the following were elected to act as dele- gates for Denbighshire on the North Wales Cricket Association Mr. C. C. Mott, Rev. D. J. Bowen Mr. L. O. R. Ashley, and Mr. A. Swainson. The next item on the agenda was whether the competition should be continued. Mr. Asnlev pro- posed, and Mr. Brown seconded, that the competi- tion should be continued, and that Montgomery- shire should be included in the competition and the delegates be instructed to vote in favour of it at the General Meeting of the Association in Jan- uary. Mr. Brown proposed, and Mr. Ashley seconded, that under these circumstances the County matches in 1909 should begin earlier in the season. Mr. Jagger proposed, and Mr. Brown seconded, that the original rule that A regular player of an affiliated club should be qualified to play for the county in which that club be situated, although the player himself resides out of the county," should be again brought into force. The following grounds were selected for the County matches in 1909 Llangollen, Llanrwst, Denbigh.

Found Dead on the Roadside. The body of Miss Angelina Thomas, sister of Mr. Hughes Thomas, the Mold County Court Clerk, was on Thursday found lying on the roadside close to her home at Pantyglas, Mold. She was carried home by neighbours, and Dr. Vincent Trubshaw was immediately summoned, but the young lady was quite dead when he ar- rived. For some years the deceased had been sub- ject to fainting fits.
