ANONYMOUS LETTERS FOUND ON A RAILWAY LINE. DISCOVERY AT MOLD. In the course of a case at Mold, in which rederick Jones was the complainant and Mrs Hannah Elizabeth Belhs the defendant, a remark able discovery of anonymous letters on the rail way line between Mold and Denbigh w a s m e £ MneR«lH, Th8' Wfh° ? a PIatela^er. summoned Mrs Belhs, the wife of another platelayer on an adjoining section of the railway, for threats Mr J. B Marston, for complainant, said de- fendant s husband was formerly in charge of of the railway section on which complainant was now employed, and since her husband's change of district complainant had been constantly an- noyed by her. On August 31st complainant, who was a member of a brass band, was on his way to a political gathering. He had occasion to pass defendant's house, and defendant, when she saw him passing, said, "I am sure to choke that Fred Jones." Complainant was afraid of defendant, and he wished her to be bound over to keep the peace. Mr Marston then mentioned there had been a remarkable discovery of anonymous letters on the line between Mold and Rhydymwyn, during the last two years. He produced a bundle of these notes, which had been dropped haphazard by someone, so that complainant, or workmen, or officials could pick them up. These letters referred to complain- ant in scandalous terms. One of them said that his days were numbered, and concluded: "Let this be a warning-from a friend that knows all." The detective staff of the railway com- pany had endeavoured to trace the writer, but had not succeeded. Mr Howard Evans (Mold), for defence, said his client was a very respectable woman, and her husband had been employed by the railway company for 37 years. They traced the trouble back between these parties to a time when dis- agreement arose regarding one of the children. Complainant, it was alleged, was very offensive when he passed this woman, and frequently would spit on the ground in front of her. Defendant denied that she used threats to- wards complainant. She knew nothing whatever about the letters. Thomas Bellis also denied that his wife used any threats. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace for six months, and was also ordered to pay the costs.

It appealed that the deceased, Mr Cyril Dow- ker Bury, and his two brothers, who were stop- piing at Borbhygesttt Portniadoo, went foir a cycle run as far as Penygwryd, Mr Cyril Bury riding a lady's bicycle. After dining at Pen- gwiryd the pmi-ty proceeded back. Shortly be- fore reaciting Hafod Lwyfog Farm, and whilst coming down the hill, Mr Cyril Bury came into violent contact with a motor car that was oom- ing up the hill, being frightfully injured- His brothers, Dr. Bury, of .Leamington, and Mr Walter Bury, of Lmooilin'|S Inn Fields, London, who were coming behind him, rendered all the helip posub'e under the circumstances, and suc- ceeded in stopping the flow of b;QOd" used branches of trees as splints a-id improvising a stretcher from an old dcor, anfil a mattreiss The gentlemen in the motor car also rendered every postsible assistance, and conveyed Mr Cyril Bury to Portmadoc,a distance of about 16 miiles.

Rabyns Owen, the coroner for South Carnarvonshire, held an inquest at Portmadoc on Monday, Mr D. R. Thomas being foreman of tihe jury. Mr H. Lloyd Carter, Carnarvon, appeared for Mr Harold1 Tunnycliffe, Churchill Court, Ohureliill, Somerset, the owner of the motor car- Supt- Jones. P.S. Jones, and P.C. Jones (19) represented the police. Walter Wilfred BUTY, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, identified the body as that of his bro- ther. Deceased wap 34 years old, amd was a civil engineer. They were cycling on Sunday, has brotheir, Cyril, ridin.g a lady's bicycle- lvhen going down the hill deoeased led, though wit- ness 'had been leading just before then. The accident occurred at a spot aibout a mile or so above G wynia.rnc Lake, at a curve in me road there. The deceased took the curve too fast, and witness saw he could rvjt n-et (round if a motor car oanie up the lull. itnosg was just going to oa.ution luis brother when it was too late. The collision had .actually taken place before witness saw the motor car. Witness came round the corner in a few seoonds, and saw de- ceased right under the car. exoept his head. The position of the oar wa,* facing up the road, and it was om the proper side of the road. He thoaigfat the deceased would have gone com- pletely milder the car but for the winding wheel striking- his left thigh. The oar was slowly backed, and witneas then saw that his brother was terribly injured Dr. Bury took him in charge, and witness helped a3 as lie could Witness attributed the accident to the deceased' going too fast. The decoa&ed was conveved to Partma.doo in the motor oar. Mr Ti-iiii,N-cliffe, tihe owner of the car, .offered t3 take the de- oaased anywhere they liked. Thev took him to Portmadoc, and Dr. Ha.rri- Griffith and other doctors were called to him. Tihe accident oc- curred a few minutes after four o'clock They arrived at the Sportsman Hotel at 5.30 P.M., and his brother died about 9.30 p m Dr Ranald Frederick Bury, Leamington, coriroboi ated the evidence of his brother He agreed with him a3 to the oaufse of 'the -ccii dent. Tiro curve was to tl*> left, xvhich niac^ the cirole the deceased had to make small. Proceeding, Dr. Bury said his brother had Bus- tained a compound fracture of th0 left tihig-h compound fracture of the right elbow, scalp' wounds an dbruises- lie saw thut the injuries woie fatal. He attributed the cau-e of death to shook. Evorything that could b0 done was done. By Mr Lloyd Carter I do not, think t-he oar went over hi in. I do not think ihe lost control, over his machine. The brakes are all right I clid not see the actual collision. A'Jbart ,spit,airi, the chauffeur of the motor car, Gogartln Abbey Hotel, Llandudno, said he was a lioejit-ed dtiver, and had driven motor cars for over five years in thl¡> oountry and on the Continent,, ain-d had a clean rdcord. He was driving on Sunday from -eddgolert towards Penygwryd at the rate of 12 miles an hour. He saw the deoeasod swerving from side to side when coming down the hill- He ran into the motor car because he could not get round the bond- WitaMs pullod up iimmed'iately, and when the deceased touched the car it was hard- ly moving'.

THE AFFAIRS OF LLANDUDNO TRADESMEN. EXAMINATIONS AT BANGOR BANKRUPTCY COURT. At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, to-day woe-k,before Mr Registrar Glynne Jones, the pub lie examinatioin by the Official Receiver (Mr LL Hugh Jones) took plaoe of James Lanham May- gor, of Llandudno. who estimated the deficiency in his accounts at £621, upon total liabilities £9343. The bankrupt is forty-four years of age. He said that he was a. wine and spirit merchant, carrying on business in Mostyn-street, Llandudno. TlhiB business he began in January, when he relin- quished the position of North Wales agent for Messrs Ind, Coope and Co., which he took up in 1896. He took over a year or two ago the Dwygyfyichi Hotel, Penmaenmawr; the Pontv- pair Hotel, Bettwsycoed; and the Avondale Restaurant, Llandudno, which he had since dis- posed of. On July 8th, he executed a deed of assignment for the benefit of creditors to Mr J. H. Jones, and that showed a deficit of £6559. This, however, was based upon what the debtor considered an absurd variation. The bankrupt was largely interested in local companies, tho shares being deposited with creditors, but there was, he believed, a total sur- plus from these shares of £3734. He was joint- ly liable with others for largo" sums for over- drafts, promissory notes, and other matters, but he did not eXipect that any of these claims would rank for dividend. His salary when agent to Messrs Ind, Coope and Co., was £375, and com- mission upon certain things. Until recently he considered his investments worth on balance £5ÚOO to £7000, but he loet J3770 in the original Grand Theatre Co., £3191 in depreciation in the shares of other companies, a.nd losses were in- curred on a land transaction and other matters. His personal liabilities were comparatively email. On behalf of Messrs Ind, Coope and Co., he purchased a number of licensed houses, receiving certain commissions, and, in conjunction with Mr Kay, a partner, he purchased four houses, which were made over to the North Wales Hotels Co., in 1900, shares being issued to the vendors on account of purchase money, and further shares being subscribed for among his friends for work ing expenses and improvements. As manliging director of the Hotel Company he received for several years 50 guineas per annum in salary. The undertakings in which he had been interested also included the Llandudno Land Investment Co., Kay's Mineral Water Company, the Great Orme Tramway Company, and the Grand Theatre Company. Last year he started betting and won £300, but this year he had lost in that way £100. Until last year from the time of his coming to Wales he had done no betting whatever. Mr Maddbcks, barrister, of Birmingham, who appeared for Mr Poppleton. the trustee, questioned the debtor as to his shares, and ho replied that there should be a market for all of tlhem. Kay's had paid a dividend of 6 petr cent, for three years, the Grand Theatre had every prospect of paying a dividend this year, and the Great Orme Tramroad Company had a good future before it ,though no dividend had bean paid. He was an original promoter of that undertaking. If he had tihe management of the companies he felt that he could' realise more than the value he had put upon the shares he iheld in them. The Official Receiver pointed out that the debtor owed £913 to the North Wales Hotel Co-, and that this represented money he had borrowed from the firm. In reply to the sug- gestion that it was somewhat irregular for tihe debtor a¡s managing dirootor toO txarow from the company, he replied that the had on pre- vious oooaeion^lent the company money to tido over difficulties, and the arrangement waa a g-Íve and1 bake oije, moreover, the monev was used as much for the benefit of the company as anyone, and by his voting power he oould at any time have had the company wound up and so realised his stake in it. Mr Fitzsimmons, the present managing direc- tor of the company, interposed at this point, re- marking that when he became chairman of the board he discovered for the first time that Mr Mayger was indebted to the company. After consulting a solicitor, a writ was issued against Mr Mavger. but it was clear that legally Mr Mayger had tihe power to lend' the money to himself, and under the memorandum, and it was beyond question that he had helped the company from time to time financially, so that tlhere was little that could be said morally ag-ainst it. The advanoe to Mr Mayger was witlhin the knowledge of tihe directors and of the holder of debentures. The Official Receiver said1 he did not sug- gest that what was done was wrong, but it was against the interests of the company, bringing it into financial straits, and no man would have done it who was not in financial straits. The examination was adjourned for the pro- duction of cadh statement). A CONTRACTOR'S FAILURiE. George Cyffin Roberts, trading as "George Roberts and Brother," Ruabon Works, Vaughan- street, Llandudno, buiider and contractor, who was next examined estimated his total liabili- ties, unsecured, at £3917, and his nett deficiency as £2933. The business, lately carried on by the bank- rupt, was originally conducted by his late father, George Roberts, who died in 1893. For a time after his father's death the business was con- tinued by his mother, as executrix, he and his brother receiving each £2 5, week in wages. In 1904 the sons took over the business, Mrs Sarah Roberts, his mother, taking a promissory note for £100 as her share of the business. From that date to May, 1906, the business was car- ried on by the debtor and his brother, William Roberta, but, after an unsuccessful action re- specting a. house built at Carnarvon for Mr Hyfche, William Roberts went abroad and left the business in the bankrupt's hands. The bankrupt was engaged up to May last on a. contract for the re-builuing of the Central Hotel, Colwyn Bay, upon which he stated he loot heavily. On May 31st he executed a deed* of assignment to Mr Hassal, for the benefit of creditors, and offered 7s 6d in the pound, which was accepted. At the time of the failure the bankrupt was engaged in building some houses for his mother, but as a consequence of threat- ened bankruptcy proceedings, he did not proceed with the work, which was completed bv another builder. Last March the bankrupt, who was a seu'ptor and monumental mason, entered into an engage- ment with his mother, whereby she agreed to convert a room in a house in Augusta-street, Llandudno, belonging to her. into a shop, suit- able for the exhibition of headstones and monu- ments, and he sold to his mother ail the headr stones and monuments and the goodwill of the business of a monumental mason carried on by him. He was the owner of 26 houses in Alex- andra-road, Llandudno, but they were mortgaged for their full value. 0 The bankrupt attributed his failure to "losses on contracts and shortness of capital." At the present moment he was in his mother's employ at £2 a week. The examination was adjourned for the produc- tion of a cash account. Mr E. E. Bone, Llandudno, represented the debtor.

HAY GROWN CHEAPLY. Mr Ernest Parke, of Kineton, again records interesting results from tho grass experiments which he is carrying on under the advice of Dr. Dyer. The sixth hay crop, which, like most of the hay this year, was late, amounted when the land—a poor Warwickshire clav-was left to itself to 14cwt. per acre in one field and 17cwt. per acre in the other. Phosphatic manure alone, superphosphate in one field and basic slag in the other (owing to differences in the soil), gave an average of near- ly 40cwt. per acre, and nitraite of soda alone Uacwt. per acre) an average of nearly 38cwt. per acre. Where nitrate and superphosphate or slag were used together the average vicid wus nearly 45cwt. per acre, being an increase of fully 30cwt. of hay per acre over that of the unmanured plots. As the average cost of the manures is well under 30s, it follows that the additional vield costs under 20s per ton to grow. The herbage on the various plots varies considerably, the best qua.1ty-a. good mixture of grasses and clovers — being that found where the mixed manures are used. After the hay is gathered the whole of each field is promiscuously grazed everv vear with the result that the unmanured portions (which are not fenced off) are, by natural means* sharing some of the improvement due to the rich- ness of the manured portion. Jn the carlier years of tho experiments tlie^e only yielded from a quarter to half a ton of hav per acre Mr Parke considers, therefore, that'the difference in present yield between the dree^ed and the un- dressed land does not indicate the full va'uo of tho improvement, effected by the fertilisers
