Llancarfan Man's Straits. On Tuesday, at Barry County Court, be- fore His Honour Judge Owen. a firm of fer- tilisers at Dewsbury sued Robert Lougher. of Llancarfan, under a judgment summons. The case was adjourned from the last court in consequence of the statement that a receiver had been appointed over the estate by the Court of Chancery. Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd appeared for the plaintiffs, and called defendant, who said that he was now penniless. The goods for which judgment had been obtained were supplied for farming purposes under a partnership. At present he lived with his son-in-law, and if things continued as at present he would be obliged to seek relief. His Honour said that unless means could be proved no order would be made. If at any future time the means could be elicited -an- other application could be made to him.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT COWBRIDGE. MASON KILLED BY HIS BROTHER. SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER. DISTRESSING SCENES. CORONER'S INQUIRY: VERDICTS OF •WILFUL MURDER "SUICIDE." Ccwbridge wr. the (scene of a terribl .• double tragedy on Friday evening. A labourer named Edward David, having shot his brother Arthur, a mason, with a gun. afterwards took his own life in a most deter- mined manner. The affair was the culmin- ation of a long-standing feud between them. The brothers were next-door neighbours in East Village. Cowbridge, and had been on bad terms for years. Edward, who was a labourer, was a married man with no child- ren, while Arthur was a mason, aged about 29, who was also married, and had two child- ren. The former was a man of violent and quarrelsome disposition, and had often appeared as defendant at the Police-court on charges of drunkenness. No one appears to know the cause of the long-standing dispute between the men, but the possession of a ferret was a recent cause of dissension. On Friday evening Edward David was sit- ting by the fire talking to his wife. Soon after eight o'clock there came a knock at the back door, and taking a gun from the" mantel- piece Edward went into the back kitchen. He opened the back door and saw his brother Arthur there. Arthur asked "Where is the and the reply was, "I have lost it." Arthur said don't tell me any of your lies," and his brother replied, "You ask Martin." "I see." said Arthur, "you've got the gun; shoot me if you like." Edward POINTED HIS GCN at his brother and shot him in the throat. Arthur then ran down the street for about a hundred yards to the village pump, and ap- plied water to his throat, then falling down from exhaustion. He was carried into the Druids Hotel, near by, and Dr. Torney was sent for. The doctor soon arrived, but ten minutes later the man expired. Police-constable Herbert Davies., who had been apprised of the incident by neighbours, went to the house of the aggressor, with the intention of arresting him. but on arrival found that the murderer had turned his weapon upon himself and blown off the roof of his skull. The corpse lay in the back- kitchen, with the gun acrObS the breast, his j hands still clasping it. A terrible scene was presented, the floor for about two yards being covered with blood. P.C. Davies found two empty cartridges outside the back-door on the step. WIDOWS INTERVIEWED. Mr. Edward David, wife ot the murderer. in an interview, stated that her husband had been out of work since Christmas. On Thursday he spent the whole day in bed, and on Friday he got up late, and in the after- noon sat with her in the kitchen. "We were." she said, "sitting together be- fore the fire soon after eight o'clock in the evening. My husband appeared rather strange in manner. Suddenly there was a knock at the back door. He got up, and took a gun from the mantelpiece. He had some cartridges in his pocket. He went into the back kitchen, and I heard him open the back door. I heard the voice of his brother Arthur say 'Where is that ferret ?' and my hus- band said 'I have lost it.' Arthur said 'No. don't you tell me any of your lies.' I heard Arthur say, 'I see you have got a gun; you had better shoot me now.' I then heard a report, and I began to run down the street. I had not gone far when I heard another re- port. Then I went to Mrs. Thomas Beer." Mrs. Arthur David, the widow of the mur- dered man. who had been sitting weeping with the other widow, supplied the other de- tails which helped to make the story com- nIete. She said that last Wednesday, when her husband and his brother had been in a field, which was called Millfield, where their parents lived, a question arose about the lending of some nets to another man. Ed- ward Dvid refused to lend the nets. and had I a quarrel with the man who wanted them. but Arthur David took no part. in the quarrel. On Wednesday evening, however, Arthur David and his brother seem to have had some words about these nets, and the old ill-feel- ing between them came out strongly. Ed- ward David said that he would shoot his brother at some time or another; if not that night, then the following night. On Friday evening." she proceeded, "my husband returned from Miskin on his bicycle about 7.30. Soon after eight o'clock he got up and went out to the back acor and into the yr.rd. I followed to the door. and I heard him sneaking to his brother Edward at the latter's back door. I asked him to come away. but he would not. I could hear the conversation between them except the last few words. Suddenly I lward the report of a gun. and I s^w my husband stagger back. Then he rushed past me with a big gash in his throat, from which blood was pourine. He was speechless. I him to stop, but he went threuph the kitchen and through the front room out into the street, and ran down for about 101 vard- until he was opposite the Druids HoteL when he fell down." SERVED IN AFRICA. The dec^a.ed Arthur David was a member of the Ac live Service Company ot Voiunteera, Welsh Regiment, that served in the South African War. lie was one of the first oiun- teers to go to ihe South African War in the 2nd Welsh, and had two medals and seven bars-five bars on one and two on the other. The two men were born in Cowbridge, where they lived all their lives. Edward was for some time in the employ of Mr. Hall, hay merchant. J-Ie had the reputation of being very steady and hard-working. His gun was always with him, and he was fond of cours- ing. He was often employed by local fanners in annihilating rabbits. Arthur is described as of a somewhat reserved temperament. The feud. the exact nature of which is un- known, deals with a family matter, and is of long endurance. Edward had more than once threatened to shoot his brother. Deceaseds' parents live near Cowbridge. at Johnny's Mill. The deceaseds had brothers —Jack, a mason, who is a single man living at Cowbridge. and William, who lives at Bridgend, well known in football circles. THE CORONER'S INQUIRY. One of the saddest stories in the history of the Vale was narrated at the Police-station, Cowbridge, on Monday, when Mr. E. B: Reece and a jury investigated the circum- stances of the tragedy. Mr. Pickard (mayor of Cowbridge) was foreman of the jury. Mrs. Arthur David, wife of the murdered man, detailed the relations existing between the brothers previous to Friday. She said her husband was 29 years of age last month, was a mason by occupation, and lived next door to Edward David, who was his brother. Before the tragedy the brothers were not on friendly terms, and on Wednesday last wit- ness heard her brother-in-law threaten to shoot her husband. "What did he say?" asked; the Coroner, and the witness replied that Edward said "I will shoot him. If I don't shoot him to-night I will shoot him to-morrow night." This was at the back of the house, and Arthur heard the threat. The witness then went 'on to deal with Friday night's proceedings. She said that about a quarter \o nine her hus- band went to his brother's door and knocked. Her husband snoke to Edward' first, and said, "W here's the ferret?" Edward answered, "I have lost it." Arthur then said. "Don't tell me your lies," and Edward replied, "You ask Martin." "I seé," said Arthur, "that you've got the gun." "Yes, I've got it." re- plied Edward. Arthur then said. "Shoot me if you like." In reply to this Edward said nothing, "and then," added witness, "I heard a gun-shot." The Coroner Did you run out ? Witness: No. sir. You were frightened. I suppose?—No, sir. My husband came into the house from the back kitchen. Was he bleeding?—Yes. sir. from the neck. Did he say anything to you?—No. What did he do?—He ran out from the kitchen to the street. I went as far as the door. I did not see him alive any more. He was taken to the Druids, and his body was brought home on Saturday night. A Juryman questioned witness as to the state of her husband when he came home from work on Friday afternoon. She said that he was sober, and did not think he went to his brother's house in a quarrelsome mood, only to ask questions. Rachel David, the other widow, said: I had heard my husband threaten Arthur on Wed- nesday. This was when the quarrel started, and it referred to a ferret, which was the joint property of the brothers. My husband had lost it. I was in the house when Arthur came to the door about 8.45 on Friday night. My husband went to the door with the gun in his hand. It was his own gun. I heard f. conversation about the ferret, and then the report. of a gun. I ran to the front door and saw Arthur run down the street bleeding. I ran into a neighbour's house, and did not see him fall. The Coroner: When you heart! your hus- band threaten to shoot his brother, did not you remonstrate with him Witness: He was drunk, and I did not speak to him. He stayed in bed all Thurs- day. He was also in bed on Friday, and did not get up until the afternoon. He had not been out. for two days. She added that she never thought he meant it when he made the threat. Questioned by members of the jury, wit- ness said that when Arthur knocked at the door, Edward was sitting down and the gun was on the mantlepiece. He reached it down, but she did not see him load it. It was not his habit to keep it loaded. She thought her husband was afraid of Arthur, who was the stronger man. They had fought before, and once Arthur came into the house and beat his brother. Both the widows gave their evidence very clearly, and showed very little emotion. The scene in High-street. Cowbridge, after the tragedy was described by Edward Crowley, The Limes; Cowbridge. who said he was a driver in the employ of Messrs. Jen- kins. He said he was walking along the street, when he saw Arthur David fall on the road. He could see that he was bleeding from the neck. A postman ran for the doc- tor. and by this time a crowd had collected. The body was taken to the Druids' Inn. Wit- ness returned with the police to Edward David's house, but did not see the body. A Juryman: Did Arthur say anything? Witness: No. sir. Dr. Richard Hastings Torney said he was sent for on Friday night about five minutes past nine. He went up the road, and near the Druids' Inn saw Arthur David, supported by a number of men. He was struggling for breath. He was not bleeding much then. When witness saw the wound with the aid of a. light which was brought, he ordered him to be taken into the Druids' Inn, where he ex- amined him. The front, and left side of his throat, was shattered. The muscles and a portion of the jaw were blown away. The larynx and the trachea were shattered and hanging out of the wound. It was evident that it was a mortal wound. Deceased died in about ten minutes after his arrival. There was a slight scorch in the centre of the throat just. below the wound, showing that the gun had been fired at close quarters. It was a wonder the poor fellow lived so log after the shooting. This was all the evidence in the case of Arthur David, and the Coroner summed up. The jury spent very little time considering their verdict, which was "Wilful murder." THE SECOND INQUEST. Mrs. Rachel David was again called as the first witness in the second case. She said her husband was 34 years of age, and he was a labourer. She repeated her statements, and added that she had not until that day returned to the house after the night of the tragedy. Her husband did not carry the cartridges in his pocket. He kept them in a drawer, the gun hanging above the fire place. She identified the gun produced as her husband's. The Foreman: Was your husband strange in his manner on Friday?—Yes, I thought so, and he looked very pale. Did he take any food?—No. sir- not on Thursday or Friday. I offered him some. but he would not have it. The Coroner: When you saw him taking the gun down from the mantelpiece, did not you try to stop him?—No. sir; I was frightened. Thomas Beer was an important witness in the case of Edward David. He said I went to his house, between 8.30 and nine o'clock. The front door was slammed in and I had to force it open. I went into the back kitchen. and Edward Llewellyn was with me. We saw Edward David lying on his side on the floor. His gun was lying across him. and the left. side of his head had been blown away. I could see that he was dead. I went for the police, and came across Police-con- stable Davies. Questioned by the jury. the witness said all the doors in Edward David's house were closed, but not locked. Police-constable Herbert Davies was the next witness. He said the last witness told him what he had seen in Edward's house. He had been in the street assisting in Arthur's case. and proceeded to Edward's house and found the man dead, as described bv Beer. Witness examined the back kitchen. There were blood marks on the ceiling, and he found three loaded cartridges in Edward's left-hand trousers Docket and a nipe and tobacco in his waistcoat pocket. Witness fetched Dr. Torney, who was attend- ing to Arthur at the Druids' Inn. Dr. Tornev's evidence was that just before Arthur died he went to Edward's house. Edward had a gun-shot wound which had taken away the ton-end of the skull. Death must have been instantaneous, and there could be no doubt that the wound was self- inflicted. The Coroner asked the jury to consider whether the deceased was in his r ght. mind when he shot himself. He pointed out that deceased appeared to be nerfectly calm and collected when conversing with his brother just before the tragedy. A juryman Psked the doctor if the shock of seeing that he had killed his brother would be sufficient to turn his mind in a moment before killing himself. Dr. Torney said that such things had hap- pened. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide." The jurymen and doctor gave their fees to the widows at the close of the inquest. PULPIT REFERENCES. Pulpit references were made to the tragedy in all places of worship in Cowbridge on Sun- day. The vicar, the Rev. Isaiah Roberts, at the a service, said they had recently heard of the two men being ushered into eter- nity without a moment's warning, one by the hand of his brother and the other by his own hand. What if these men had lived in the Hope of the Gospel? What if they had at- tended regularly a place of worship ? They would have lived with the certainty of being prepared for the meeting with the Great Judge. THE FUNERALS. The remains of Evan Arthur David were in- terred in the burial ground of the Parish Church on Tuesday. The funeral was one of the largest seen in the town for some time. The greatest sympathy was shown to the mourners, who at times could scarcely control their feelings. The vicar and the Rev. R. J. Lewis officiated. The funeral of Edward David took place on Wednesday morning, the remains being in- terred in a corner of the Cowbridge Church- yard at nine o'clock. A short committal ser- vices was gone through instead of the burial service of the Church of England. The ser- vice was read by the vicar and the Rev. R. J. Lewis. All the relatives of the deceased were present, also some of the townspeople. The subscriptions to the fund raised by the Mayor (Councillor J. Pickard) will be appor- tioned equally between the widows.

Proof Above Question from Bridgend. When a story stands the teat of time, its truth is proved beyond doubt. Is it not so with this story retold after three years by a resident in Bridgend ? "What I said over three years ago for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I can heartily confirm," says Mrs. L. S. Penn. 9 Sunnyside. Bridgend. "I am as well now as ever I was Doan's Pills did a lot for me. for I've never been troubled with backache since."

They have done me a lot of good. and I have told many of my friends about the pills. I was so bad for eighteen months that I didn't know how to get about the house. The pains came on suddenly and nearly brought me down. "I was advised to try Doan's Backache Kid- ney Pills, and before I had taken many of them I felt much better. I short course of the medicine drove the pains away. If ever I feel the least sign of the old pains coming back. I take a dose of Doan's Pills, and I am soon right again. (Signed). Lucy S. Penn."

MR. H. J. SIMPSON'S AFFAIRS. PROCEEDINGS AT CARDIFF BANK- RUPTCY-COURT. APPOINTMENT OF AX INTERIM RECEIVER. In acrcrcFance with the public notice adver- tised some days ago on tie order for substi- tuted' service, Mr. G. F. Forsdike, solicitor, appeared before Mr. Harry Cousins, registrar of Cardiff County-court, on Monday on the hearing of the bankruptcy netition against the estate of Mr. Henry J "eph Simpson, coal exporter, iormerly of Mount Stuart- square, Bute Docks. Cardiff, and of Ty Draw House. Victoria-road, Portbeawl. Mr. Fors- dike appeared on behalf of Mr. Henry Ainslie Redford, stockbroker, of London, who claims to be a creditor to the amount of £2.276 in respect of stockbroking commissions. Mr. Simpson did not appear at the hearing. The Registrar adjourned the case till January 15th. At the conclusion of the proceedings, which were, of course, held in camera, Mr. Forsdike was unwilling to say why the registrar had not granted the receiving order at once, but it is stated that the evidence was not deemed sufficient. We are informed that Mr. Forsdike applied to the registrar (Mr. Cousins) last week for the appointment of an interim receiver to protect the property of the alleged debtor pending Monday's proceedings, and that the I official receiver was appointed interim Te- ceiver.

Weak, Dizzy, No Appetite. A HASTINGS WOMAN CURED OF "PAIKS LIKE KNIFE STABS," BY MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP. There is no healthier spot in England than Hastings. But there are some ailments upon which climate has little or no effect. prominent among them being indigestion and biliousness; and so it happens that Mrs. Emily Boorman, of 5 Bray-brooke Terrace, Hastings, writes thus on January 24th, 1905: "It is about seven years since my health broke down. I found myself in low spirits, without appetite, and lacking in- terest in everything. Gradually this feeling increased; my digestion broke down, so that I became afraid of food of whatever kind. There was a constant sensation of pressure at the chest, with sharp pains like stabs of a knife, darting through my back. Sometimes these pains came on while I was in the street, so acutely that I could not refrain from cry- ing out. "Wind ilyi my stomach and bowels was an- other of my troubles; it was constant, and I was rarely free from headache. Heart pal- pitation, if not so frequent, was more alarm- ing, and so interfered with my sleep that for two years or more I did not know what a proper night's rest was. Each morning found me dizzy and unrefreshed. "Giving up solid food for a time, I lived upon liquids; but this caused more wind and pressure- than ever. I became thin and weak from want of food. and the dizziness in- creased so that when in the street I had to stop every now and then and nress my hand over my eVetl to steady myself. After a doctor had treated me for two years without the least benefit, I turned to Mother Seigel's Syrup, and began a course of that medicine. There was an improvement at once in my condition. It seemed to re- move the load from my chest. That improve- ment continued until soon I had neither pain nor palpitation, my digestion was sound, and I was in all respects as well as ever I had been in my life."

YET ANOTHER PORTHCAWL FIRE. ESPLANADE HOTEL IN DANGER. Between 1 and 2 on Friday morning, a fire was discovered in the electric eligine-liause behind the Esplanade Hotel, Porthcawl. It appears that Mr. William Anderson who con- trols the electric works, left the place just after midnght, when evervtliing was all right, but a little before 2 a.m. one of the coast- guardsi-nen on duty close by noticed the glow of flames behind the hotel. He rushed to the spot and discovered that the electric- light house was on fire. P.C. Evans was soon attracted to the scene, and he, with the coastguard, commenced arousing the neigh- bours. A good many people soon gathered, and with buckets of water succeeded in pre- venting the spread of the fire. P.C. Evans burst open the door of the hotel and awak- ened the occupants. When everybody had been got out of the hotel, efforts were directed towards preventing the fire spread- ing beyond the electric station, and in this they were successful. The electric station belongs to the hotel company, and is situ- ated at the back of the hotel. The electric house is of two storeys, divided by a brick partition. The oil engine which works the dynamo in one of the rooms, with the tank for feeding it, were not injured, but the dynamo was completely destroyed. It is for- tunate that the fire was prevented from spreading, as the consequences would have been very serious, for the cellar where the oil for working the engine was stored, is close by. The damage, which, it is believed, is not covered by insurance, is extensive. There were some exciting incidents at the scene of the fire. Several young men volun- teered to get on to the roof of the burning building to cut the connection. Mr. Wyndham Comley. son of Councillor Comley, was hand- ling a bucket of water on the roof at an alti- tude of about 29ft., when the bottom of the ladder slipped along the pavement below. Wynrlham's presence of mind in holding to the facia board saved him from falling. In another case, J. Pearce son of Mr. Jas. Pearce. late coxswain of the lifeboat, and who: is home on furlough, was on the burning roof. when he overbalanced, and would have fallen had not Charles James, the well-known footballer, cnuht him in his arms, while he himself was holding on to a rafter, which at one spot was blazing. YOUUF Pearce would have had a. fearful fall had James not thus displayed his steady nerve. The origin of the fire is shrouded in mys- tery, as there were no live wires about.

Two Paying Crops. The experiments on the manuring of man- golds and oats on Mr. Parke's farm at Kine- ton. Warwickshire, have again yielded results showing the economy of judicious manuring. The season has been locally a very good on for mangolds, so much so that on the unmanured land at Kineton the man- golds (orange globes), although directly fol- lowing mangolds last season, weighed nearly 21 tons per acre. Superphosphate alone (4 cwt. per acre) increased this to 28 tons. while the addition to superphosphate of 2, 4. and 6 cwt. of nitrate of soda per acre on three other plots raised the acreage yield re- spectively to 35. 42, and 46 tons, or 14. 21. and 25 tons more than the yield of the un- manured land. The average cost of produc- ing this increase was well under 3s. per ton of I-oots a, cheap outlay for the increased stock-carrying power which it implies. In the oat trials (following wheat) the un- manured land yielded 39 bushels of oats anci 14 cwt. of straw per acre. Superphosphate (3 cwt. per acre) and nitrate of soda (1 cwt. per acre) raised the yield to 60 bushels of oats and 24 cwt. of straw. When the nitrate of soda was increased to 2 cwt. per acre. the yield was 72 bushels of oats and 30 cwt. of straw, showing, as compared with the un- manured land. the very profitable increase of 32 bushels of oats and 16 cwt. of straw, in return for an outlay on manures of about 32s. per acre.

-=- v "Therefore strongest." ) I C<9DB0RV' £ I I cocoa I HOW TO MAKE SURE OF PURE COCOA. No cocoa is pure which contains substances not naturally present in the Cocoa Bean. Many of the so-called cocoas now on sale are merely cocoa preparations, containing additions of such things as skimmed milk, starch, sugar, hops, etc., which lessen the quality of cocoa, and therefore give an inferior beverage. To make sure of obtaining pure cocoa, ask for and see that you get Cadbury's." Cocoa is strongest when pure, and in its natural state contains all the elements necessary for physical well being. Cadbury's cocoa is abso- lutely pure, and contains no added ingredients whatever. There is no cocoa so easy of digestion and assimilation as Cadbury's cocoa.
